60% of all-time peak

Only 70 funds hold BARK today versus a peak of 117 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 60% 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 — 40% fewer funds vs a year ago

🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying

35 buying58 selling

Last quarter: 58 funds sold vs only 35 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 2.0/10 — 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.
