Smart Money Signals — SKWD

Based on 225 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 SKWD 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 (95% of max)

95% of all-time peak
225 hedge funds hold SKWD 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.
📶

Steady growth — +14% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+28 new funds entered over the past year (+14% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 55% buying

134 buying108 selling
Last quarter: 134 funds bought or added vs 108 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 (+14 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new SKWD position: 54 → 45 → 31 → 45. 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, 27% new

■ 35% conviction (2yr+) ■ 38% medium ■ 27% new
Of the 225 current holders: 79 (35%) held >2 years, 86 held 1–2 years, and 60 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

38 → 54 → 45 → 31 → 45 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 54 → 45 → 31 → 45. SKWD is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 37% veterans, 38% new entrants

■ 37% veterans ■ 25% 1-2yr ■ 38% new
Of 229 current holders: 85 (37%) held 2+ years, 57 held 1–2 years, 87 (38%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

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.
