📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

🏔️

At the ownership peak (95% of max)

95% of all-time peak
118 hedge funds hold KIDS 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.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding KIDS is almost the same as a year ago (+3 funds, +3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 57% buying

68 buying51 selling
Last quarter: 68 funds bought or added vs 51 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.

Value +22% but shares only +1% — price-driven

Value
+21%
Shares
+1%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +22%, 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.

17 → 15 → 27 → 18 → 18 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 15 → 27 → 18 → 18. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

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.
