Smart Money Signals — KEMX

Based on 27 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added KEMX 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
27 hedge funds hold KEMX 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 — +59% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+10 new funds entered over the past year (+59% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 50% buying

13 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds bought or added vs 13 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+9 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new KEMX position: 4 → 6 → 1 → 10. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 26% long-term, 44% new

■ 26% conviction (2yr+) ■ 30% medium ■ 44% new
Of the 27 current holders: 7 (26%) held >2 years, 8 held 1–2 years, and 12 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~10 new funds/quarter

2 → 4 → 6 → 1 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 6 → 1 → 10. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 30% veterans, 52% new entrants

■ 30% veterans ■ 19% 1-2yr ■ 52% new
Of 27 current holders: 8 (30%) held 2+ years, 5 held 1–2 years, 14 (52%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 19% AUM from top-100

19% from top-100 AUM funds
5 of 25 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 19% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
4.7
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.7/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
