📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BALY 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.

🔻

Below peak — only 49% of 3.0Y high

49% of all-time peak

Only 65 funds hold BALY today versus a peak of 132 funds at 2024 Q3 — just 49% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.

🚀

Fast accumulation — +71% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+27 new funds entered over the past year (+71% 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.

Value

+42%

+0%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +43%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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.

1.5

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 1.5/10 — 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.
