Smart Money Signals — SII

Based on 252 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added SII 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

252 hedge funds hold SII 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 — +49% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+83 new funds entered over the past year (+49% 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.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 57% buying

139 buying105 selling

Last quarter: 139 funds bought or added vs 105 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.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+27 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new SII position: 35 → 38 → 34 → 61. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

🔒

46% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 46% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 30% new

117 out of 252 hedge funds have held SII 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 +85% but shares only +28% — price-driven

Value

+84%

+27%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +85%, but actual share count only changed +28%. 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.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

24 → 35 → 38 → 34 → 61 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 35 → 38 → 34 → 61. A growing number of institutions are discovering SII each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 48% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 48% veterans ■ 17% 1-2yr ■ 35% new

Of 265 current holders: 128 (48%) 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 — 25% AUM from major funds

25% from top-100 AUM funds

37 of 252 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 25% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

4.2

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.2/10 — 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.
