📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BRZE 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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
257 hedge funds hold BRZE right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶
Steady growth — +17% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+17% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 65% buying
185 buying100 selling
Last quarter: 185 funds were net buyers (69 opened a brand new position + 116 added to an existing one). Only 100 were sellers (59 trimmed + 41 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BRZE position: 54 → 44 → 62 → 69. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
41% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 41% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 32% new
105 out of 257 hedge funds have held BRZE 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 +32% but shares only +10% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +32%, 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
52 → 54 → 44 → 62 → 69 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 54 → 44 → 62 → 69. A growing number of institutions are discovering BRZE each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 50% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 50% veterans
■ 19% 1-2yr
■ 30% new
Of 270 current holders: 136 (50%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 36% AUM from major funds
36% from top-100 AUM funds
34 of 257 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 36% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
