Smart Money Signals — WRBY

Based on 301 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added WRBY 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

301 hedge funds hold WRBY 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 — +16% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+42 new funds entered over the past year (+16% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 57% buying

182 buying140 selling

Last quarter: 182 funds bought or added vs 140 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 (-24 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 49 → 52 → 90 → 66. 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.

📌

Mixed — 37% long-term, 36% new

■ 37% conviction (2yr+) ■ 27% medium ■ 36% new

Of the 301 current holders: 111 (37%) held >2 years, 81 held 1–2 years, and 109 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.

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

64 → 49 → 52 → 90 → 66 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 49 → 52 → 90 → 66. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 44% veterans vs 40% newcomers

■ 44% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 40% new

Entry-cohort mix of 317 holders: 139 (44%) are 2+ year veterans, 51 entered 1–2 years ago, and 127 (40%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 49% AUM from top-100 funds

49% from top-100 AUM funds

52 of 297 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 49% of total institutional value in WRBY. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

4.2

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.2/10 — 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.
