Smart Money Signals — BCE

Based on 404 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 BCE positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 75% of 3.0Y peak

75% of all-time peak
404 funds currently hold this stock — 75% of the 3.0-year high of 541 funds (reached 2023 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +4% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+15 new funds entered over the past year (+4% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 53% buying

199 buying178 selling
Last quarter: 199 funds bought or added vs 178 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
⚠️

Fewer new buyers each quarter (-20 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 58 → 61 → 70 → 50. 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.
🔒

69% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 69% conviction (2yr+) ■ 19% medium ■ 13% new
277 out of 404 hedge funds have held BCE 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~50 new funds/quarter

49 → 58 → 61 → 70 → 50 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 58 → 61 → 70 → 50. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 75% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 75% veterans ■ 10% 1-2yr ■ 15% new
Of 431 current holders: 323 (75%) 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.
🏆

Elite ownership — 51% AUM from top-100 funds

51% from top-100 AUM funds
51 of 404 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 51% of total institutional value in BCE. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.2/10 — 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.
