Smart Money Signals — GDS

Based on 202 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 GDS positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak
202 hedge funds hold GDS 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 — +22% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+36 new funds entered over the past year (+22% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 51% buying

125 buying119 selling
Last quarter: 125 funds bought or added vs 119 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 — ~48 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 63 → 32 → 52 → 48. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

46% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 46% conviction (2yr+) ■ 25% medium ■ 29% new
93 out of 202 hedge funds have held GDS 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +18%, value -11%

Value
-11%
Shares
+17%
Last quarter: funds added +18% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -11%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~48 new funds/quarter

40 → 63 → 32 → 52 → 48 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 63 → 32 → 52 → 48. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 58% veterans vs 33% newcomers

■ 58% veterans ■ 8% 1-2yr ■ 33% new
Entry-cohort mix of 219 holders: 128 (58%) are 2+ year veterans, 18 entered 1–2 years ago, and 73 (33%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

Strong quality — 32% AUM from major funds

32% from top-100 AUM funds
38 of 198 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 32% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
3.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — 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.
