Smart Money Signals — BLDP

Based on 165 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BLDP 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.
🏔️

At the ownership peak (98% of max)

98% of all-time peak
165 hedge funds hold BLDP 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 — +30% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+30% 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 buyers than sellers — 61% buying

103 buying65 selling
Last quarter: 103 funds were net buyers (43 opened a brand new position + 60 added to an existing one). Only 65 were sellers (40 trimmed + 25 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+13 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BLDP position: 23 → 28 → 30 → 43. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

58% of holders stayed for 2+ years

58% conviction (2yr+) 22% medium 19% new
96 out of 165 hedge funds have held BLDP 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 +79% but shares only +13% — price-driven

Value
+79%
Shares
+13%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +79%, but actual share count only changed +13%. 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

11 → 23 → 28 → 30 → 43 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 23 → 28 → 30 → 43. A growing number of institutions are discovering BLDP each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 71% veterans vs 17% newcomers

71% veterans 12% 1-2yr 17% new
Entry-cohort mix of 181 holders: 129 (71%) are 2+ year veterans, 21 entered 1–2 years ago, and 31 (17%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 68% AUM from top-100 funds

68% from top-100 AUM funds
37 of 165 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 68% of total institutional value in BLDP. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — 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.
