Smart Money Signals — REI

Based on 126 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added REI 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.
📊

High ownership — 81% of 3.0Y peak

81% of all-time peak
126 funds currently hold this stock — 81% of the 3.0-year high of 156 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 13% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
19 fewer hedge funds hold REI compared to a year ago (-13% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

72 buying48 selling
Last quarter: 72 funds were net buyers (37 opened a brand new position + 35 added to an existing one). Only 48 were sellers (31 trimmed + 17 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+15 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new REI position: 35 → 32 → 22 → 37. 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+) ■ 21% medium ■ 24% new
69 out of 126 hedge funds have held REI 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.
💰

Value +125% but shares only +33% — price-driven

Value
+124%
Shares
+32%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +125%, but actual share count only changed +33%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~37 new funds/quarter

23 → 35 → 32 → 22 → 37 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 35 → 32 → 22 → 37. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 64% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 64% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 26% new
Of 132 current holders: 84 (64%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆

Elite ownership — 44% AUM from top-100 funds

44% from top-100 AUM funds
26 of 126 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 44% of total institutional value in REI. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.6/10 — 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.
