Smart Money Signals — BLCR

Based on 301 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BLCR 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
301 hedge funds hold BLCR right now — the highest count in 2.5 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 — +5920% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+296 new funds entered over the past year (+5920% 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 — 99% buying

301 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 301 funds were net buyers (295 opened a brand new position + 6 added to an existing one). Only 3 were sellers (0 trimmed + 3 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+289 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BLCR position: 1 → 0 → 6 → 295. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 98% entered in last year

■ 0% conviction (2yr+) ■ 1% medium ■ 98% new
Only 1 funds (0%) 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.
💎

Buying through price weakness — shares +34287%, value +31046%

Value
+31046%
Shares
+34287%
Last quarter: funds added +34287% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +31046%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

1 → 1 → 0 → 6 → 295 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 0 → 6 → 295. 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 — 98% of holders entered in last year

■ 0% veterans ■ 2% 1-2yr ■ 98% new
Of 301 current holders: 296 (98%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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.
🏆

Elite ownership — 59% AUM from top-100 funds

59% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 301 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 59% of total institutional value in BLCR. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
7.5
out of 10
High Exit Risk
Exit risk score 7.5/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.

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.
