Based on 90 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BMA 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.
📊
High ownership — 70% of 3.0Y peak
70% of all-time peak
90 funds currently hold this stock — 70% of the 3.0-year high of 129 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 26% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
32 fewer hedge funds hold BMA compared to a year ago (-26% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 46% buying
49 buying58 selling
Last quarter: 58 funds reduced or exited vs 49 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 BMA position: 31 → 20 → 19 → 28. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
47% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 47% conviction (2yr+)
■ 32% medium
■ 21% new
42 out of 90 hedge funds have held BMA 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 +115% but shares only +2% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +115%, but actual share count only changed +2%. 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 — ~28 new funds/quarter
42 → 31 → 20 → 19 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 31 → 20 → 19 → 28. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 58% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 58% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 96 current holders: 56 (58%) 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 — 13% AUM from top-100
13% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 90 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 13% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 2.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
