Smart Money Signals — FOSL

Based on 109 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added FOSL than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.

🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

109 hedge funds hold FOSL right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.

🚀

Fast accumulation — +98% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+54 new funds entered over the past year (+98% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 64% buying

74 buying42 selling

Last quarter: 74 funds were net buyers (38 opened a brand new position + 36 added to an existing one). Only 42 were sellers (25 trimmed + 17 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+19 vs last Q)

New funds entering each quarter: 26 → 23 → 19 → 38. A growing number of institutions are discovering FOSL each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 72% veterans vs 21% newcomers

■ 72% veterans ■ 7% 1-2yr ■ 21% new

Entry-cohort mix of 111 holders: 80 (72%) are 2+ year veterans, 8 entered 1–2 years ago, and 23 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

4.2

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
