Smart Money Signals — SATS

Based on 522 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SATS 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
522 hedge funds hold SATS 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 — +89% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+246 new funds entered over the past year (+89% 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 — 64% buying

363 buying204 selling
Last quarter: 363 funds were net buyers (188 opened a brand new position + 175 added to an existing one). Only 204 were sellers (153 trimmed + 51 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+44 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SATS position: 56 → 41 → 144 → 188. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 35% long-term, 41% new

■ 35% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 41% new
Of the 522 current holders: 182 (35%) held >2 years, 126 held 1–2 years, and 214 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.

Buying through price weakness — shares -18%, value -79%

Value
-78%
Shares
-18%
Last quarter: funds added -18% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -79%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

41 → 56 → 41 → 144 → 188 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 56 → 41 → 144 → 188. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 46% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 46% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 39% new
Of 580 current holders: 266 (46%) 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.
✅

Strong quality — 34% AUM from major funds

34% from top-100 AUM funds
43 of 522 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 34% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
5.2
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.2/10 — 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.
