Smart Money Signals — PUK

Based on 258 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added PUK 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

258 hedge funds hold PUK 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 — +36% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+68 new funds entered over the past year (+36% 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 — 63% buying

167 buying96 selling

Last quarter: 167 funds were net buyers (49 opened a brand new position + 118 added to an existing one). Only 96 were sellers (55 trimmed + 41 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 40 → 37 → 59 → 49. 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+) ■ 21% medium ■ 26% new

138 out of 258 hedge funds have held PUK 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.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

51 → 40 → 37 → 59 → 49 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 40 → 37 → 59 → 49. A growing number of institutions are discovering PUK each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 60% veterans vs 31% newcomers

■ 60% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 31% new

Entry-cohort mix of 258 holders: 154 (60%) are 2+ year veterans, 24 entered 1–2 years ago, and 80 (31%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 78% AUM from top-100 funds

78% from top-100 AUM funds

4.1

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.1/10 — 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.
