Smart Money Signals — OUST

Based on 216 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their OUST positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak
216 hedge funds hold OUST 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 — +53% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+75 new funds entered over the past year (+53% 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

120 buying122 selling
Last quarter: 120 funds bought or added vs 122 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-15 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 39 → 64 → 60 → 45. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
📌

Mixed — 27% long-term, 40% new

■ 27% conviction (2yr+) ■ 33% medium ■ 40% new
Of the 216 current holders: 58 (27%) held >2 years, 72 held 1–2 years, and 86 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares -9%, value -27%

Value
-27%
Shares
-8%
Last quarter: funds added -9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -27%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~45 new funds/quarter

34 → 39 → 64 → 60 → 45 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 39 → 64 → 60 → 45. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 34% veterans, 45% new entrants

■ 34% veterans ■ 21% 1-2yr ■ 45% new
Of 227 current holders: 78 (34%) held 2+ years, 47 held 1–2 years, 102 (45%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
✅

Strong quality — 38% AUM from major funds

38% from top-100 AUM funds
31 of 216 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 38% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.6
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.6/10 — 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.
