📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BYDDY 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 — 91% of 3.0Y peak
91% of all-time peak
21 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 23 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +24% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+4 new funds entered over the past year (+24% 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 sellers than buyers — 41% buying
9 buying13 selling
Last quarter: 13 funds reduced or exited vs 9 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~8 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 6 → 4 → 8. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌

■ 29% conviction (2yr+)
■ 24% medium
■ 48% new
Of the 21 current holders: 6 (29%) held >2 years, 5 held 1–2 years, and 10 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~8 new funds/quarter
6 → 7 → 6 → 4 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 6 → 4 → 8. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 57% of holders entered in last year
■ 38% veterans
■ 5% 1-2yr
■ 57% new
Of 21 current holders: 12 (57%) entered in the past year, only 8 (38%) 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.
