Smart Money Signals — KBA

Based on 47 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added KBA 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.
📊

High ownership — 90% of 3.0Y peak

90% of all-time peak
47 funds currently hold this stock — 90% of the 3.0-year high of 52 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +21% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+8 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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 — 65% buying

24 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds were net buyers (10 opened a brand new position + 14 added to an existing one). Only 13 were sellers (9 trimmed + 4 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~10 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 19 → 7 → 6 → 10. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

53% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 53% conviction (2yr+) ■ 30% medium ■ 17% new
25 out of 47 hedge funds have held KBA 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

4 → 19 → 7 → 6 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 19 → 7 → 6 → 10. KBA 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 — 66% veterans vs 21% newcomers

■ 66% veterans ■ 13% 1-2yr ■ 21% new
Entry-cohort mix of 47 holders: 31 (66%) are 2+ year veterans, 6 entered 1–2 years ago, and 10 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 60% AUM from top-100 funds

60% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 47 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 60% of total institutional value in KBA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk

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.
