Smart Money Signals — IDEF

Based on 215 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 3Q

For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added IDEF 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

215 hedge funds hold IDEF right now — the highest count in 1.0 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.

🟢

More buyers than sellers — 99% buying

214 buying2 selling

Last quarter: 214 funds were net buyers (204 opened a brand new position + 10 added to an existing one). Only 2 were sellers (0 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+198 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new IDEF position: 4 → 6 → 204. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🔄

Mostly new holders — 99% entered in last year

■ 0% conviction (2yr+) ■ 1% medium ■ 99% new

Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.

💰

Value +17607% but shares only +16740% — price-driven

Value

+17607%

+16740%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +17607%, but actual share count only changed +16740%. 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.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

4 → 6 → 204 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 6 → 204. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

🌱

Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year

■ 0% veterans ■ 0% 1-2yr ■ 100% new

Of 215 current holders: 215 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.

🏆

Elite ownership — 65% AUM from top-100 funds

65% from top-100 AUM funds

12 of 215 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 65% of total institutional value in IDEF. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

7.5

out of 10

High Exit Risk

Exit risk score 7.5/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.

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.
