Smart Money Signals — JHCB

Based on 22 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their JHCB positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (96% of max)

96% of all-time peak
22 hedge funds hold JHCB 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 — +29% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+5 new funds entered over the past year (+29% 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 — 60% buying

15 buying10 selling
Last quarter: 15 funds were net buyers (4 opened a brand new position + 11 added to an existing one). Only 10 were sellers (5 trimmed + 5 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~4 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 3 → 4 → 4. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 32% long-term, 27% new

■ 32% conviction (2yr+) ■ 41% medium ■ 27% new
Of the 22 current holders: 7 (32%) held >2 years, 9 held 1–2 years, and 6 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +3%, value -36%

Value
-35%
Shares
+3%
Last quarter: funds added +3% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -36%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~4 new funds/quarter

5 → 6 → 3 → 4 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 3 → 4 → 4. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 36% veterans, 45% new entrants

■ 36% veterans ■ 18% 1-2yr ■ 45% new
Of 22 current holders: 8 (36%) held 2+ years, 4 held 1–2 years, 10 (45%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
✅

Strong quality — 32% AUM from major funds

32% from top-100 AUM funds
8 of 22 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 32% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
3.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
