Smart Money Signals — IQ

Based on 128 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their IQ positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 64% of 3.0Y high

64% of all-time peak
Only 128 funds hold IQ today versus a peak of 200 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 64% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 7% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
10 fewer hedge funds hold IQ compared to a year ago (-7% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 48% buying

61 buying66 selling
Last quarter: 66 funds reduced or exited vs 61 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~21 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 27 → 30 → 18 → 21. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

66% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 66% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 16% new
85 out of 128 hedge funds have held IQ 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 -9%, value -35%

Value
-35%
Shares
-8%
Last quarter: funds added -9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -35%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

15 → 27 → 30 → 18 → 21 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 30 → 18 → 21. IQ is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 76% veterans vs 16% newcomers

■ 76% veterans ■ 8% 1-2yr ■ 16% new
Entry-cohort mix of 136 holders: 103 (76%) are 2+ year veterans, 11 entered 1–2 years ago, and 22 (16%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 72% AUM from top-100 funds

72% from top-100 AUM funds
39 of 128 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 72% of total institutional value in IQ. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
1.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.7/10 — 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.
