Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row
For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BELFA 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
92 hedge funds hold BELFA 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 — +67% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+37 new funds entered over the past year (+67% 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 — 62% buying
53 buying33 selling
Last quarter: 53 funds were net buyers (24 opened a brand new position + 29 added to an existing one). Only 33 were sellers (26 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

■ 23% medium
■ 46% new
Of the 92 current holders: 29 (32%) held >2 years, 21 held 1–2 years, and 42 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰
Value +16839% but shares only +33% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +16839%, but actual share count only changed +33%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
4 → 6 → 11 → 19 → 24 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 11 → 19 → 24. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
