Smart Money Signals — KF

Based on 38 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 KF 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
38 hedge funds hold KF 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 — +46% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+46% 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

22 buying12 selling
Last quarter: 22 funds were net buyers (13 opened a brand new position + 9 added to an existing one). Only 12 were sellers (9 trimmed + 3 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new KF position: 4 → 3 → 3 → 13. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

53% of holders stayed for 2+ years

53% conviction (2yr+) 11% medium 37% new
20 out of 38 hedge funds have held KF 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.
💰

Value +76% but shares only +5% — price-driven

Value
+76%
Shares
+5%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +76%, but actual share count only changed +5%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

4 → 4 → 3 → 3 → 13 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 3 → 3 → 13. A growing number of institutions are discovering KF each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 58% veterans vs 37% newcomers

58% veterans 5% 1-2yr 37% new
Entry-cohort mix of 38 holders: 22 (58%) are 2+ year veterans, 2 entered 1–2 years ago, and 14 (37%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 2% AUM from top-100

2% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 38 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 2% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
4.3
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.3/10 — 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.
