📈
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 — 77% of 3.0Y peak
77% of all-time peak
100 funds currently hold this stock — 77% of the 3.0-year high of 130 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
18 fewer hedge funds hold BMA compared to a year ago (-15% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 54% buying
56 buying47 selling
Last quarter: 56 funds bought or added vs 47 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+10 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BMA position: 19 → 31 → 20 → 30. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

■ 45% conviction (2yr+)
■ 30% medium
■ 25% new
45 out of 100 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 +31% but shares only +10% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +31%, but actual share count only changed +10%. 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.

Entry-cohort mix of 109 holders: 57 (52%) are 2+ year veterans, 24 entered 1–2 years ago, and 28 (26%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 22% AUM from major funds
22% from top-100 AUM funds
17 of 96 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 22% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
