Smart Money Signals — THRO

Based on 404 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added THRO 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
404 hedge funds hold THRO 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 — +6633% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+398 new funds entered over the past year (+6633% 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.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 78% buying

335 buying92 selling
Last quarter: 335 funds were net buyers (95 opened a brand new position + 240 added to an existing one). Only 92 were sellers (63 trimmed + 29 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+35 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new THRO position: 107 → 199 → 60 → 95. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 75% entered in last year

■ 1% conviction (2yr+) ■ 24% medium ■ 75% new
Only 4 funds (1%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

1 → 107 → 199 → 60 → 95 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 107 → 199 → 60 → 95. THRO is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🌱

Early stage — 98% of holders entered in last year

■ 2% veterans ■ 1% 1-2yr ■ 98% new
Of 404 current holders: 394 (98%) entered in the past year, only 7 (2%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆

Elite ownership — 52% AUM from top-100 funds

52% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 404 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 52% of total institutional value in THRO. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
6.9
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.9/10 — 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.
