📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

📊

High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak

91% of all-time peak
351 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 386 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

187 buying192 selling
Last quarter: 192 funds reduced or exited vs 187 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 57 → 56 → 54 → 42. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒

■ 59% conviction (2yr+) ■ 23% medium ■ 17% new
208 out of 351 hedge funds have held SKYW 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

57 → 57 → 56 → 54 → 42 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 57 → 56 → 54 → 42. SKYW is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 63% veterans vs 23% newcomers

■ 63% veterans ■ 14% 1-2yr ■ 23% new
Entry-cohort mix of 357 holders: 225 (63%) are 2+ year veterans, 51 entered 1–2 years ago, and 81 (23%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

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.
