Smart Money Signals — SPTL

Based on 441 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 SPTL 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
441 hedge funds hold SPTL 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 — +6% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+25 new funds entered over the past year (+6% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

266 buying176 selling
Last quarter: 266 funds were net buyers (86 opened a brand new position + 180 added to an existing one). Only 176 were sellers (139 trimmed + 37 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+32 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

76 → 71 → 47 → 54 → 86 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 71 → 47 → 54 → 86. A growing number of institutions are discovering SPTL each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 56% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 56% veterans ■ 18% 1-2yr ■ 26% new
Of 443 current holders: 249 (56%) 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.
🏆

3.5
out of 10

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.
