Smart Money Signals — PLUG

Based on 511 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PLUG 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
511 hedge funds hold PLUG 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 — +21% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+89 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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 — 64% buying

293 buying167 selling
Last quarter: 293 funds were net buyers (96 opened a brand new position + 197 added to an existing one). Only 167 were sellers (112 trimmed + 55 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+18 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PLUG position: 86 → 90 → 78 → 96. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

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.
