Smart Money Signals — YSG

Based on 44 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their YSG positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻

Below peak — only 68% of 3.0Y high

68% of all-time peak
Only 44 funds hold YSG today versus a peak of 65 funds at 2025 Q3 — just 68% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉

Outflows — 6% fewer funds vs a year ago

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

Heavy selling pressure — only 35% buying

17 buying31 selling
Last quarter: 31 funds sold vs only 17 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~8 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 27 → 14 → 6 → 8. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 39% long-term, 30% new

■ 39% conviction (2yr+) ■ 32% medium ■ 30% new
Of the 44 current holders: 17 (39%) held >2 years, 14 held 1–2 years, and 13 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.
⚠️

Saturation — most institutions already know this story

18 → 27 → 14 → 6 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 27 → 14 → 6 → 8. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 52% veterans vs 27% newcomers

■ 52% veterans ■ 20% 1-2yr ■ 27% new
Entry-cohort mix of 44 holders: 23 (52%) are 2+ year veterans, 9 entered 1–2 years ago, and 12 (27%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 42% AUM from top-100 funds

42% from top-100 AUM funds
18 of 44 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 42% of total institutional value in YSG. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — 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.
