📉

Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row

87% of all-time peak
594 funds currently hold this stock — 87% of the 3.0-year high of 682 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 4% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 44% buying

292 buying370 selling
Last quarter: 370 funds reduced or exited vs 292 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.

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

86 → 97 → 127 → 76 → 74 new funds/Q

Entry-cohort mix of 610 holders: 418 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 78 entered 1–2 years ago, and 114 (19%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

3.0
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.
