Smart Money Signals — BKEM

Based on 25 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 BKEM positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (96% of max)

96% of all-time peak
25 hedge funds hold BKEM 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.
📶

Steady growth — +14% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+3 new funds entered over the past year (+14% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 48% buying

12 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds reduced or exited vs 12 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~4 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 8 → 4 → 6 → 4. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

Mixed — 28% long-term, 20% new

■ 28% conviction (2yr+) ■ 52% medium ■ 20% new
Of the 25 current holders: 7 (28%) held >2 years, 13 held 1–2 years, and 5 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

5 → 8 → 4 → 6 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 4 → 6 → 4. BKEM 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 — 32% veterans, 36% new entrants

■ 32% veterans ■ 32% 1-2yr ■ 36% new
Of 25 current holders: 8 (32%) held 2+ years, 8 held 1–2 years, 9 (36%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

81% from top-100 AUM funds

3.5
out of 10

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.
