Smart Money Signals — KTB

Based on 373 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added KTB 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 (96% of max)

96% of all-time peak
373 hedge funds hold KTB 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.
📉

Outflows — 4% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
17 fewer hedge funds hold KTB compared to a year ago (-4% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 50% buying

187 buying187 selling
Last quarter: 187 funds bought or added vs 187 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~65 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 44 → 58 → 60 → 65. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

58% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 58% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 18% new
216 out of 373 hedge funds have held KTB 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +1%, value -22%

Value
-22%
Shares
+1%
Last quarter: funds added +1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -22%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

83 → 44 → 58 → 60 → 65 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 44 → 58 → 60 → 65. A growing number of institutions are discovering KTB each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 63% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 63% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 23% new
Of 376 current holders: 237 (63%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

Elite ownership — 64% AUM from top-100 funds

64% from top-100 AUM funds
41 of 373 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 64% of total institutional value in KTB. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.3
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.3/10 — 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.
