Smart Money Signals — PPC

Based on 335 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PPC 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 — 82% of 3.0Y peak

82% of all-time peak
335 funds currently hold this stock — 82% of the 3.0-year high of 408 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 17% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
70 fewer hedge funds hold PPC compared to a year ago (-17% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

200 buying212 selling
Last quarter: 212 funds reduced or exited vs 200 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+28 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new PPC position: 76 → 69 → 54 → 82. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

55% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 55% conviction (2yr+) ■ 20% medium ■ 26% new
183 out of 335 hedge funds have held PPC 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 +13%, value -14%

Value
-14%
Shares
+12%
Last quarter: funds added +13% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -14%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

64 → 76 → 69 → 54 → 82 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 76 → 69 → 54 → 82. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 61% veterans vs 25% newcomers

■ 61% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 25% new
Entry-cohort mix of 350 holders: 214 (61%) are 2+ year veterans, 50 entered 1–2 years ago, and 86 (25%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 65% AUM from top-100 funds

65% from top-100 AUM funds
53 of 334 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 65% of total institutional value in PPC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — 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.
