Smart Money Signals — QCOM

Based on 2722 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their QCOM 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 — 92% of 3.0Y peak

92% of all-time peak
2,722 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 2,946 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding QCOM is almost the same as a year ago (+10 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 41% buying

1203 buying1725 selling
Last quarter: 1,725 funds reduced or exited vs 1,203 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-183 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 213 → 196 → 372 → 189. 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.
🔒

72% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 72% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 13% new
1,969 out of 2,722 hedge funds have held QCOM 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 +0%, value -27%

Value
-26%
Shares
+0%
Last quarter: funds added +0% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -27%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

197 → 213 → 196 → 372 → 189 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 213 → 196 → 372 → 189. A growing number of institutions are discovering QCOM each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 73% veterans vs 16% newcomers

■ 73% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 16% new
Entry-cohort mix of 2,829 holders: 2,072 (73%) are 2+ year veterans, 317 entered 1–2 years ago, and 440 (16%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 62% AUM from top-100 funds

62% from top-100 AUM funds
68 of 2709 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 62% of total institutional value in QCOM. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.4
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.4/10 — 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.
