Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q

📶

Steady growth — +8% more funds vs a year ago

Value

+23%

+2%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +24%, but actual share count only changed +2%. 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.

New funds entering each quarter: 20 → 26 → 28 → 28. A growing number of institutions are discovering BVS each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.9/10 — 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.
