📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BAH 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.
📊
High ownership — 77% of 3.0Y peak
77% of all-time peak
558 funds currently hold this stock — 77% of the 3.0-year high of 729 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 20% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
141 fewer hedge funds hold BAH compared to a year ago (-20% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 49% buying
292 buying299 selling
Last quarter: 299 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+11 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BAH position: 103 → 108 → 82 → 93. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +9%, value -16%
Last quarter: funds added +9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -16%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
103 → 103 → 108 → 82 → 93 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 103 → 108 → 82 → 93. BAH is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

Entry-cohort mix of 577 holders: 400 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 62 entered 1–2 years ago, and 115 (20%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Elite ownership — 59% AUM from top-100 funds
59% from top-100 AUM funds
60 of 555 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 59% of total institutional value in BAH. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 2.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
