Smart Money Signals — BUFR

Based on 538 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BUFR 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
538 hedge funds hold BUFR 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.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +25% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+109 new funds entered over the past year (+25% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟢

More buyers than sellers — 60% buying

314 buying208 selling
Last quarter: 314 funds were net buyers (74 opened a brand new position + 240 added to an existing one). Only 208 were sellers (168 trimmed + 40 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+21 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BUFR position: 40 → 94 → 53 → 74. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

43% of holders stayed for 2+ years

43% conviction (2yr+) 30% medium 26% new
233 out of 538 hedge funds have held BUFR 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.
➡️

Steady discovery — ~74 new funds/quarter

51 → 40 → 94 → 53 → 74 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 40 → 94 → 53 → 74. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 42% veterans vs 33% newcomers

42% veterans 25% 1-2yr 33% new
Entry-cohort mix of 538 holders: 224 (42%) are 2+ year veterans, 137 entered 1–2 years ago, and 177 (33%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Strong quality — 34% AUM from major funds

34% from top-100 AUM funds
16 of 538 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 34% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
4.0
out of 10
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.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
