Smart Money Signals — PLBY

Based on 75 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PLBY 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.
📊

High ownership — 78% of 3.0Y peak

78% of all-time peak
75 funds currently hold this stock — 78% of the 3.0-year high of 96 funds (reached 2023 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +14% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+9 new funds entered over the past year (+14% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 50% buying

35 buying35 selling
Last quarter: 35 funds bought or added vs 35 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 — ~14 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 4 → 15 → 14. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

■ 59% conviction (2yr+) ■ 25% medium ■ 16% new
44 out of 75 hedge funds have held PLBY 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.
💰

Value +58% but shares only +23% — price-driven

Value
+57%
Shares
+23%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +58%, but actual share count only changed +23%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

23 → 7 → 4 → 15 → 14 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 4 → 15 → 14. A growing number of institutions are discovering PLBY each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 69% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 69% veterans ■ 8% 1-2yr ■ 23% new
Of 78 current holders: 54 (69%) 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.
✅

22% from top-100 AUM funds
25 of 75 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 22% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk

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.
