81% of all-time peak
67 funds currently hold this stock — 81% of the 3.0-year high of 83 funds (reached 2023 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Value +1956% but shares only +3% — price-driven

Value
+1956%
Shares
+3%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +1956%, but actual share count only changed +3%. 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

6 → 18 → 6 → 11 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 6 → 11 → 9. HTZWW is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

■ 58% veterans ■ 12% 1-2yr ■ 30% new
Of 67 current holders: 39 (58%) 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.

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.
