Smart Money Signals — SPRY

Based on 181 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their SPRY positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (99% of max)

99% of all-time peak
181 hedge funds hold SPRY 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 — +13% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+21 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

89 buying93 selling
Last quarter: 93 funds reduced or exited vs 89 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 (-8 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 40 → 30 → 41 → 33. 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.
📌

Mixed — 38% long-term, 27% new

■ 38% conviction (2yr+) ■ 35% medium ■ 27% new
Of the 181 current holders: 69 (38%) held >2 years, 63 held 1–2 years, and 49 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.
💰

Value +22% but shares only +5% — price-driven

Value
+21%
Shares
+4%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +22%, but actual share count only changed +5%. 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~33 new funds/quarter

33 → 40 → 30 → 41 → 33 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 40 → 30 → 41 → 33. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 45% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 45% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 39% new
Of 185 current holders: 84 (45%) 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 — 22% AUM from major funds

22% from top-100 AUM funds
30 of 181 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 22% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — 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.
