Based on 94 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 5 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 5 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BKAG 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

94 hedge funds hold BKAG 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 — +27% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+20 new funds entered over the past year (+27% 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 — 71% buying

68 buying28 selling

Last quarter: 68 funds were net buyers (13 opened a brand new position + 55 added to an existing one). Only 28 were sellers (22 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

➡️

Steady new buyers — ~13 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 12 → 21 → 11 → 13. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

📌

Mixed — 35% long-term, 30% new

■ 35% conviction (2yr+) ■ 35% medium ■ 30% new

Of the 94 current holders: 33 (35%) held >2 years, 33 held 1–2 years, and 28 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.

📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

17 → 12 → 21 → 11 → 13 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 12 → 21 → 11 → 13. BKAG is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.

📊

Mixed cohorts — 38% veterans, 35% new entrants

■ 38% veterans ■ 27% 1-2yr ■ 35% new

Of 94 current holders: 36 (38%) held 2+ years, 25 held 1–2 years, 33 (35%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

✅

Strong quality — 21% AUM from major funds

21% from top-100 AUM funds

13 of 94 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 21% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

out of 10

Moderate Exit Risk

Exit risk score 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
