📈
Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BRF 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 (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
18 hedge funds hold BRF 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 — +64% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+7 new funds entered over the past year (+64% 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. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 67% buying
10 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 10 funds were net buyers (5 opened a brand new position + 5 added to an existing one). Only 5 were sellers (3 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

Steady new buyers — ~5 new funds per quarter

💰
Value +224% but shares only +178% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +224%, but actual share count only changed +178%. 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 → 6 → 1 → 3 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 1 → 3 → 5. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
