📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BLZE positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 93% of 3.0Y peak
93% of all-time peak
137 funds currently hold this stock — 93% of the 3.0-year high of 147 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +21% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+24 new funds entered over the past year (+21% 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 — 47% buying
69 buying79 selling
Last quarter: 79 funds reduced or exited vs 69 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 (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 29 → 39 → 31 → 24. 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.
📌
Mixed — 35% long-term, 27% new
■ 35% conviction (2yr+)
■ 38% medium
■ 27% new
Of the 137 current holders: 48 (35%) held >2 years, 52 held 1–2 years, and 37 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -11%, value -39%
Last quarter: funds added -11% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -39%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
18 → 29 → 39 → 31 → 24 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 29 → 39 → 31 → 24. BLZE is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 37% veterans, 34% new entrants
■ 37% veterans
■ 29% 1-2yr
■ 34% new
Of 140 current holders: 52 (37%) held 2+ years, 41 held 1–2 years, 47 (34%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
✅
Strong quality — 28% AUM from major funds
28% from top-100 AUM funds
35 of 136 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 28% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.7/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
