📈
Buying streak — 7 quarters in a row
For 7 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BKTI 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
104 hedge funds hold BKTI 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 — +197% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+69 new funds entered over the past year (+197% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 58% buying
63 buying45 selling
Last quarter: 63 funds bought or added vs 45 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 32 → 34 → 25. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 62% entered in last year
■ 16% conviction (2yr+)
■ 22% medium
■ 62% new
Only 17 funds (16%) 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.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
13 → 7 → 32 → 34 → 25 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 32 → 34 → 25. 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.
🌱
Early stage — 75% of holders entered in last year
■ 16% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 75% new
Of 104 current holders: 78 (75%) entered in the past year, only 17 (16%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 35% AUM from major funds
35% from top-100 AUM funds
28 of 104 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 35% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
