📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BNR 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 — 76% of 3.0Y peak
76% of all-time peak
16 funds currently hold this stock — 76% of the 3.0-year high of 21 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 24% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
5 fewer hedge funds hold BNR compared to a year ago (-24% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 54% buying
7 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 7 funds bought or added vs 6 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 1 → 2 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 25% entered in last year
■ 6% conviction (2yr+)
■ 69% medium
■ 25% new
Only 1 funds (6%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰
Value +183% but shares only +20% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +183%, but actual share count only changed +20%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~3 new funds/quarter
5 → 1 → 1 → 2 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 1 → 2 → 3. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.

6 of 16 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 4% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
