📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BYDDF 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
8 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 9 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +14% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+14% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 57% buying
4 buying3 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds bought or added vs 3 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~4 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 2 → 1 → 4. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 25% long-term, 50% new
■ 25% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 50% new
Of the 8 current holders: 2 (25%) held >2 years, 2 held 1–2 years, and 4 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💰
Value +1146% but shares only +1009% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +1146%, but actual share count only changed +1009%. 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 — ~4 new funds/quarter
2 → 2 → 2 → 1 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 2 → 1 → 4. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 75% of holders entered in last year
■ 12% veterans
■ 12% 1-2yr
■ 75% new
Of 8 current holders: 6 (75%) entered in the past year, only 1 (12%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 93% AUM from top-100 funds
93% from top-100 AUM funds
1 of 8 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 93% of total institutional value in BYDDF. 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 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
