Smart Money Signals — BZFD

Based on 39 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BZFD 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 — 80% of 3.0Y peak

80% of all-time peak
39 funds currently hold this stock — 80% of the 3.0-year high of 49 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 9% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
4 fewer hedge funds hold BZFD compared to a year ago (-9% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 56% buying

24 buying19 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds bought or added vs 19 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.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+10 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BZFD position: 8 → 3 → 5 → 15. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 31% long-term, 36% new

■ 31% conviction (2yr+) ■ 33% medium ■ 36% new
Of the 39 current holders: 12 (31%) held >2 years, 13 held 1–2 years, and 14 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 +188% but shares only +22% — price-driven

Value
+188%
Shares
+22%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +188%, but actual share count only changed +22%. 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

7 → 8 → 3 → 5 → 15 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 3 → 5 → 15. A growing number of institutions are discovering BZFD each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 2% veterans, 32% new entrants

■ 2% veterans ■ 66% 1-2yr ■ 32% new
Of 44 current holders: 1 (2%) held 2+ years, 29 held 1–2 years, 14 (32%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
✅

Strong quality — 23% AUM from major funds

23% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 38 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 23% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
2.9
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

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.
