📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BNT positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 92% of 3.0Y peak
92% of all-time peak
106 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 115 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +7% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+7% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢

92 buying36 selling
Last quarter: 92 funds were net buyers (16 opened a brand new position + 76 added to an existing one). Only 36 were sellers (11 trimmed + 25 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 12 → 17 → 23 → 16. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 28% entered in last year
■ 5% conviction (2yr+)
■ 67% medium
■ 28% new
Only 5 funds (5%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +51%, value +1%
Last quarter: funds added +51% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +1%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
12 → 12 → 17 → 23 → 16 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 12 → 17 → 23 → 16. A growing number of institutions are discovering BNT each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

Smaller funds dominant — 14% AUM from top-100
14% from top-100 AUM funds
20 of 106 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 14% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
