Smart Money Signals — WIA

Based on 52 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added WIA 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
52 hedge funds hold WIA 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 — +13% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+13% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 50% buying

22 buying22 selling
Last quarter: 22 funds bought or added vs 22 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~9 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 7 → 5 → 9. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

■ 65% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 17% new
34 out of 52 hedge funds have held WIA 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +237%, value +180%

Value
+179%
Shares
+236%
Last quarter: funds added +237% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +180%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~9 new funds/quarter

6 → 3 → 7 → 5 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 7 → 5 → 9. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 71% veterans vs 19% newcomers

■ 71% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 19% new
Entry-cohort mix of 52 holders: 37 (71%) are 2+ year veterans, 5 entered 1–2 years ago, and 10 (19%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 4% AUM from top-100

4% from top-100 AUM funds

3.6
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — 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.
