Smart Money Signals — BB

Based on 219 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BB positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.

🏔️

At the ownership peak (95% of max)

95% of all-time peak

219 hedge funds hold BB 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.

〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q

The number of hedge funds holding BB is almost the same as a year ago (-7 funds, -3% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.

🟠

More sellers than buyers — 44% buying

95 buying120 selling

Last quarter: 120 funds reduced or exited vs 95 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.

⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 34 → 27 → 41 → 35. 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.

🔒

66% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 66% conviction (2yr+) ■ 17% medium ■ 16% new

145 out of 219 hedge funds have held BB 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.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

31 → 34 → 27 → 41 → 35 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 34 → 27 → 41 → 35. A growing number of institutions are discovering BB each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Deep conviction — 68% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 68% veterans ■ 16% 1-2yr ■ 16% new

Of 238 current holders: 163 (68%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.

✅

Strong quality — 34% AUM from major funds

34% from top-100 AUM funds

41 of 219 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 34% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

3.5

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.5/10 — 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.
