Smart Money Signals — BWFG

Based on 92 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added this stock 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 trade.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (100% of max)

100% of all-time peak
92 hedge funds hold this stock 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 'crowded trade' — high ownership doesn't mean safe.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +56% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+33 new funds entered over the past year (+56% 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.
🟢

55 buying31 selling
Last quarter: 55 funds were net buyers (15 opened a brand new position + 40 added to an existing one). Only 31 were sellers (23 trimmed + 8 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
