📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BBAX positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (95% of max)
95% of all-time peak
142 hedge funds hold BBAX 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 classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +25% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+28 new funds entered over the past year (+25% 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 — 48% buying
64 buying69 selling
Last quarter: 69 funds reduced or exited vs 64 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-15 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 21 → 42 → 43 → 28. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒
42% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 42% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 32% new
60 out of 142 hedge funds have held BBAX for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +721% but shares only +694% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +721%, but actual share count only changed +694%. 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
36 → 21 → 42 → 43 → 28 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 21 → 42 → 43 → 28. A growing number of institutions are discovering BBAX each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 49% veterans vs 35% newcomers
■ 49% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 35% new
Entry-cohort mix of 142 holders: 70 (49%) are 2+ year veterans, 22 entered 1–2 years ago, and 50 (35%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 98% AUM from top-100 funds
98% from top-100 AUM funds
19 of 142 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 98% of total institutional value in BBAX. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
