Smart Money Signals — BKLC

Based on 152 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BKLC 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

152 hedge funds hold BKLC 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 — +29% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+34 new funds entered over the past year (+29% 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 — 64% buying

94 buying52 selling

Last quarter: 94 funds were net buyers (36 opened a brand new position + 58 added to an existing one). Only 52 were sellers (31 trimmed + 21 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

📈

More new buyers each quarter (+18 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening a new BKLC position: 22 → 31 → 18 → 36. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

📌

Mixed — 32% long-term, 34% new

■ 32% conviction (2yr+) ■ 34% medium ■ 34% new

Of the 152 current holders: 49 (32%) held >2 years, 51 held 1–2 years, and 52 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 +72% but shares only +44% — price-driven

Value

+72%

+43%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +72%, but actual share count only changed +44%. 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.

➡️

Steady discovery — ~36 new funds/quarter

26 → 22 → 31 → 18 → 36 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 22 → 31 → 18 → 36. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

📊

Mixed cohorts — 34% veterans, 41% new entrants

■ 34% veterans ■ 25% 1-2yr ■ 41% new

Of 152 current holders: 52 (34%) held 2+ years, 38 held 1–2 years, 62 (41%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.

📋

Smaller funds dominant — 19% AUM from top-100

19% from top-100 AUM funds

22 of 152 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 19% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

4.1

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.
