Based on 5 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 45% of 3.0Y high
45% of all-time peak
Only 5 funds hold BDGS today versus a peak of 11 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 45% 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 — 50% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
5 fewer hedge funds hold BDGS compared to a year ago (-50% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
3 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 3 funds bought or added vs 3 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~2 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 2 → 1 → 2. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 40% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 60% medium
■ 40% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +49%, value -11%
Last quarter: funds added +49% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -11%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~2 new funds/quarter
3 → 0 → 2 → 1 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 2 → 1 → 2. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 80% of holders entered in last year
■ 20% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 80% new
Of 5 current holders: 4 (80%) entered in the past year, only 1 (20%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 1% AUM from top-100
1% from top-100 AUM funds
1 of 5 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 1% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 1.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
