Smart Money Signals — PDEC

Based on 229 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PDEC 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 (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak

229 hedge funds hold PDEC 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.

📶

Steady growth — +13% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+27 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 30% buying

53 buying125 selling

Last quarter: 125 funds sold vs only 53 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-20 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 24 → 14 → 42 → 22. 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.

🔒

53% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 53% conviction (2yr+) ■ 26% medium ■ 21% new

121 out of 229 hedge funds have held PDEC 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.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

25 → 24 → 14 → 42 → 22 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 14 → 42 → 22. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 55% veterans vs 28% newcomers

■ 55% veterans ■ 18% 1-2yr ■ 28% new

Entry-cohort mix of 229 holders: 125 (55%) are 2+ year veterans, 41 entered 1–2 years ago, and 63 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

✅

Strong quality — 26% AUM from major funds

26% from top-100 AUM funds

11 of 229 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 26% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

4.8

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.8/10 — 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.
