Smart Money Signals — EARN

Based on 44 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their EARN positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 60% of 3.0Y high

60% of all-time peak
Only 44 funds hold EARN today versus a peak of 73 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 60% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 14% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
7 fewer hedge funds hold EARN compared to a year ago (-14% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 54% buying

26 buying22 selling
Last quarter: 26 funds bought or added vs 22 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~13 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 15 → 10 → 13. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

■ 45% conviction (2yr+) ■ 34% medium ■ 20% new
20 out of 44 hedge funds have held EARN for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

6 → 2 → 15 → 10 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 15 → 10 → 13. A growing number of institutions are discovering EARN each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 52% veterans vs 20% newcomers

■ 52% veterans ■ 27% 1-2yr ■ 20% new
Entry-cohort mix of 44 holders: 23 (52%) are 2+ year veterans, 12 entered 1–2 years ago, and 9 (20%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

1.5
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
