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.
In 2026 Q1, 109 hedge funds were net buyers of SBLK (48 opened a new position, 61 added to an existing one), while 86 reduced or exited (55 trimmed, 31 sold completely) — a 56% buyer ratio, indicating a slight buying edge. Net buying has persisted for two consecutive quarters, a positive momentum signal. 30% of total institutional value in SBLK is held by top-100 AUM funds, reflecting strong institutional quality. Net fund flow last quarter: +17 funds (more new holders than closures). Total institutional holders: 188.

Signal Freshness measures how much SBLK has moved relative to its sector benchmark (XLI) since the 2026 Q2 13F filing. A stock that has barely outrun its sector is still a relatively fresh entry point — the fund's thesis has not yet been priced in by the broader market.
SBLK outperformed XLI by -0.6% since June 30, 2026.
Interpretation: The stock is tracking its sector benchmark closely. The signal remains fresh and the entry point is still near the fund's implied reference. Learn more →

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row: For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SBLK 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.
Slight buying edge — 56% buying: Last quarter: 109 funds bought or added vs 86 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
Strong quality — 30% AUM from major funds: 29 of 186 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 30% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
55% of holders stayed for 2+ years: 103 out of 188 hedge funds have held SBLK 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.
Since the quarter end (June 30, 2026), SBLK has gained -0.6% vs +0.0% for XLI. The stock is tracking its sector benchmark closely. The signal remains fresh and the entry point is still near the fund's implied reference.
