Smart Money Signals — WHR

Based on 492 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

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

High ownership — 83% of 3.0Y peak

83% of all-time peak
492 funds currently hold this stock — 83% of the 3.0-year high of 591 funds (reached 2023 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 6% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
31 fewer hedge funds hold WHR compared to a year ago (-6% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 57% buying

299 buying223 selling
Last quarter: 299 funds bought or added vs 223 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.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-15 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 100 → 52 → 98 → 83. 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.
🔒

68% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 68% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 17% new
333 out of 492 hedge funds have held WHR for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰

Value +47% but shares only +17% — price-driven

Value
+46%
Shares
+16%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +47%, but actual share count only changed +17%. 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

80 → 100 → 52 → 98 → 83 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 100 → 52 → 98 → 83. A growing number of institutions are discovering WHR each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 72% veterans vs 20% newcomers

■ 72% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 20% new
Entry-cohort mix of 520 holders: 373 (72%) are 2+ year veterans, 45 entered 1–2 years ago, and 102 (20%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 75% AUM from top-100 funds

75% from top-100 AUM funds
57 of 482 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 75% of total institutional value in WHR. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.6/10 — 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.
