Smart Money Signals — QS

Based on 448 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added QS 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 (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak
448 hedge funds hold QS 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 — +22% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+82 new funds entered over the past year (+22% 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 — 61% buying

269 buying172 selling
Last quarter: 269 funds were net buyers (84 opened a brand new position + 185 added to an existing one). Only 172 were sellers (101 trimmed + 71 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+22 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new QS position: 98 → 113 → 62 → 84. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

50% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 50% conviction (2yr+) ■ 26% medium ■ 24% new
224 out of 448 hedge funds have held QS 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.
💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+11% value, -6% shares)

Value
+11%
Shares
-5%
Last quarter: total value of institutional QS holdings rose +11% even though funds reduced share count by 6%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

79 → 98 → 113 → 62 → 84 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 98 → 113 → 62 → 84. QS is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 58% veterans vs 29% newcomers

■ 58% veterans ■ 13% 1-2yr ■ 29% new
Entry-cohort mix of 476 holders: 277 (58%) are 2+ year veterans, 61 entered 1–2 years ago, and 138 (29%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds

53% from top-100 AUM funds
49 of 439 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in QS. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
