📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BLNK 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 65% of 3.0Y high
65% of all-time peak
Only 112 funds hold BLNK today versus a peak of 171 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 65% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 25% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
38 fewer hedge funds hold BLNK compared to a year ago (-25% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 44% buying
47 buying60 selling
Last quarter: 60 funds reduced or exited vs 47 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BLNK position: 25 → 23 → 17 → 26. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
62% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 20% new
69 out of 112 hedge funds have held BLNK for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +51% but shares only +23% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +51%, but actual share count only changed +23%. 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 — ~26 new funds/quarter
29 → 25 → 23 → 17 → 26 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 25 → 23 → 17 → 26. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 67% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 67% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 25% new
Of 118 current holders: 79 (67%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 1% AUM from top-100
1% from top-100 AUM funds
19 of 112 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 1% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 2.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
