Smart Money Signals — QLTY

Based on 134 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 9 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 9 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added QLTY 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
134 hedge funds hold QLTY 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 — +46% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+42 new funds entered over the past year (+46% 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 — 82% buying

103 buying23 selling
Last quarter: 103 funds were net buyers (31 opened a brand new position + 72 added to an existing one). Only 23 were sellers (16 trimmed + 7 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 QLTY position: 20 → 10 → 13 → 31. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 37% entered in last year

■ 8% conviction (2yr+) ■ 55% medium ■ 37% new
Only 11 funds (8%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

26 → 20 → 10 → 13 → 31 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 20 → 10 → 13 → 31. A growing number of institutions are discovering QLTY each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 1% veterans, 54% new entrants

■ 1% veterans ■ 45% 1-2yr ■ 54% new
Of 134 current holders: 1 (1%) held 2+ years, 60 held 1–2 years, 73 (54%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 2% AUM from top-100

2% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 134 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 2% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
4.4
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.4/10 — 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.
