📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BMVP 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 — 89% of 3.0Y peak
89% of all-time peak
39 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 44 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 5% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
2 fewer hedge funds hold BMVP compared to a year ago (-5% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 48% buying
13 buying14 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds reduced or exited vs 13 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.

💰
Value +70% but shares only +29% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +70%, but actual share count only changed +29%. 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 — ~7 new funds/quarter
5 → 7 → 2 → 4 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 2 → 4 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

■ 62% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 23% new
Of 39 current holders: 24 (62%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 75% AUM from top-100 funds
75% from top-100 AUM funds
12 of 39 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 75% of total institutional value in BMVP. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
