Smart Money Signals — BBVA

Based on 530 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BBVA 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
530 hedge funds hold BBVA 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.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +24% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+103 new funds entered over the past year (+24% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 64% buying

313 buying175 selling
Last quarter: 313 funds were net buyers (83 opened a brand new position + 230 added to an existing one). Only 175 were sellers (134 trimmed + 41 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+32 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BBVA position: 62 → 95 → 51 → 83. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

55% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 55% conviction (2yr+) ■ 22% medium ■ 22% new

Price up while funds trimmed (+14% value, -2% shares)

Value
+14%
Shares
-1%
Last quarter: total value of institutional BBVA holdings rose +14% even though funds reduced share count by 2%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~83 new funds/quarter

63 → 62 → 95 → 51 → 83 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 62 → 95 → 51 → 83. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 60% veterans vs 26% newcomers

■ 60% veterans ■ 13% 1-2yr ■ 26% new
Entry-cohort mix of 534 holders: 322 (60%) are 2+ year veterans, 72 entered 1–2 years ago, and 140 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 71% AUM from top-100 funds

71% from top-100 AUM funds

3.8
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.8/10 — 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.
