Smart Money Signals — GH

Based on 472 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added GH 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
472 hedge funds hold GH 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 — +65% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+186 new funds entered over the past year (+65% 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.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 61% buying

291 buying186 selling
Last quarter: 291 funds were net buyers (137 opened a brand new position + 154 added to an existing one). Only 186 were sellers (150 trimmed + 36 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+71 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new GH position: 83 → 66 → 66 → 137. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

49% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 49% conviction (2yr+) ■ 22% medium ■ 29% new
232 out of 472 hedge funds have held GH 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.
💰

Value +71% but shares only +5% — price-driven

Value
+71%
Shares
+5%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +71%, but actual share count only changed +5%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

59 → 83 → 66 → 66 → 137 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 83 → 66 → 66 → 137. A growing number of institutions are discovering GH each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 62% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 62% veterans ■ 7% 1-2yr ■ 31% new
Of 494 current holders: 306 (62%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds

43% from top-100 AUM funds
43 of 472 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in GH. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.4
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.4/10 — 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.
