Smart Money Signals — PAWZ

Based on 35 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PAWZ positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 78% of 3.0Y peak

78% of all-time peak
35 funds currently hold this stock — 78% of the 3.0-year high of 45 funds (reached 2023 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 19% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
8 fewer hedge funds hold PAWZ compared to a year ago (-19% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 36% buying

8 buying14 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds sold vs only 8 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 6 → 6 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

63% of holders stayed for 2+ years

63% conviction (2yr+) 26% medium 11% new
22 out of 35 hedge funds have held PAWZ 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 -18%, value -51%

Value
-51%
Shares
-17%
Last quarter: funds added -18% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -51%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️

Saturation — most institutions already know this story

5 → 6 → 6 → 6 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 6 → 6 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 77% veterans vs 14% newcomers

77% veterans 9% 1-2yr 14% new
Entry-cohort mix of 35 holders: 27 (77%) are 2+ year veterans, 3 entered 1–2 years ago, and 5 (14%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds

53% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 35 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in PAWZ. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — 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.
