Smart Money Signals — TKNO

Based on 76 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added TKNO 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
76 hedge funds hold TKNO 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 — +19% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+19% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

45 buying36 selling
Last quarter: 45 funds bought or added vs 36 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 (+10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new TKNO position: 24 → 10 → 13 → 23. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 36% long-term, 37% new

36% conviction (2yr+) 28% medium 37% new
Of the 76 current holders: 27 (36%) held >2 years, 21 held 1–2 years, and 28 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +9%, value -17%

Value
-17%
Shares
+8%
Last quarter: funds added +9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -17%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~23 new funds/quarter

25 → 24 → 10 → 13 → 23 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 24 → 10 → 13 → 23. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 47% veterans vs 43% newcomers

47% veterans 9% 1-2yr 43% new
Entry-cohort mix of 76 holders: 36 (47%) are 2+ year veterans, 7 entered 1–2 years ago, and 33 (43%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Strong quality — 38% AUM from major funds

38% from top-100 AUM funds
27 of 76 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 38% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.1
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — 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.
