Smart Money Signals — OUST

Based on 226 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added OUST 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 (99% of max)

99% of all-time peak

226 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 — +39% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+63 new funds entered over the past year (+39% 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 — 61% buying

150 buying96 selling

Last quarter: 150 funds were net buyers (47 opened a brand new position + 103 added to an existing one). Only 96 were sellers (51 trimmed + 45 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

➡️

Steady new buyers — ~47 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 66 → 65 → 46 → 47. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

📌

Mixed — 26% long-term, 38% new

■ 26% conviction (2yr+) ■ 36% medium ■ 38% new

Of the 226 current holders: 59 (26%) held >2 years, 81 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 +0%, value -17%

Value

-17%

+0%

Last quarter: funds added +0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -17%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

42 → 66 → 65 → 46 → 47 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 66 → 65 → 46 → 47. OUST is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

📊

Mixed cohorts — 34% veterans, 47% new entrants

■ 34% veterans ■ 19% 1-2yr ■ 47% new

Of 239 current holders: 82 (34%) held 2+ years, 45 held 1–2 years, 112 (47%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

🏆

Elite ownership — 56% AUM from top-100 funds

56% from top-100 AUM funds

46 of 223 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 56% of total institutional value in OUST. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

4.2

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.2/10 — 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.
