31% of all-time peak
Only 11 funds hold BMRA today versus a peak of 35 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 31% 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 — 50% fewer funds vs a year ago
