Smart Money Signals — KFRC

Based on 231 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 KFRC 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
231 hedge funds hold KFRC 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.
📶

Steady growth — +12% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+24 new funds entered over the past year (+12% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

137 buying93 selling
Last quarter: 137 funds were net buyers (50 opened a brand new position + 87 added to an existing one). Only 93 were sellers (70 trimmed + 23 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+20 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new KFRC position: 30 → 39 → 30 → 50. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 61% conviction (2yr+) ■ 19% medium ■ 20% new

💰

Value +61% but shares only +1% — price-driven

Value
+61%
Shares
+1%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +61%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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

28 → 30 → 39 → 30 → 50 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 30 → 39 → 30 → 50. A growing number of institutions are discovering KFRC each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 67% veterans vs 23% newcomers

■ 67% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 23% new
Entry-cohort mix of 232 holders: 155 (67%) are 2+ year veterans, 24 entered 1–2 years ago, and 53 (23%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 45% AUM from top-100 funds

45% from top-100 AUM funds
50 of 230 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 45% of total institutional value in KFRC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — 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.
