Smart Money Signals — JACK

Based on 141 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 7 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their JACK 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 67% of 3.0Y high

67% of all-time peak
Only 141 funds hold JACK today versus a peak of 212 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 67% 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 — 30% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
61 fewer hedge funds hold JACK compared to a year ago (-30% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 41% buying

70 buying100 selling
Last quarter: 100 funds reduced or exited vs 70 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 36 → 25 → 37 → 25. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

67% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 67% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 16% new
94 out of 141 hedge funds have held JACK 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 -7%, value -54%

Value
-53%
Shares
-7%
Last quarter: funds added -7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -54%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~25 new funds/quarter

34 → 36 → 25 → 37 → 25 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 36 → 25 → 37 → 25. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 75% veterans vs 15% newcomers

■ 75% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 15% new
Entry-cohort mix of 151 holders: 113 (75%) are 2+ year veterans, 15 entered 1–2 years ago, and 23 (15%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅

Strong quality — 33% AUM from major funds

33% from top-100 AUM funds
34 of 137 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 33% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.2/10 — 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.
