Smart Money Signals — SEAT

Based on 73 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added SEAT 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.
🔻

Below peak — only 54% of 3.0Y high

54% of all-time peak
Only 73 funds hold SEAT today versus a peak of 135 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 54% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 37% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
43 fewer hedge funds hold SEAT compared to a year ago (-37% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 52% buying

42 buying39 selling
Last quarter: 42 funds bought or added vs 39 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~23 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 20 → 10 → 19 → 23. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

■ 47% conviction (2yr+) ■ 29% medium ■ 25% new
34 out of 73 hedge funds have held SEAT 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
-54%
Shares
+110%
Last quarter: funds added +110% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -54%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

21 → 20 → 10 → 19 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 20 → 10 → 19 → 23. A growing number of institutions are discovering SEAT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 52% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 52% veterans ■ 15% 1-2yr ■ 33% new
Of 73 current holders: 38 (52%) 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.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 2% AUM from top-100

2% from top-100 AUM funds
18 of 73 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.
1.3
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 1.3/10 — 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.
