Smart Money Signals — BWA

Based on 712 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added BWA 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
712 hedge funds hold BWA 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 — +27% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+150 new funds entered over the past year (+27% 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.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 52% buying

360 buying334 selling
Last quarter: 360 funds bought or added vs 334 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 — ~118 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 107 → 123 → 114 → 118. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

87 → 107 → 123 → 114 → 118 new funds/Q

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 69% veterans vs 23% newcomers

■ 69% veterans ■ 8% 1-2yr ■ 23% new
Entry-cohort mix of 729 holders: 506 (69%) are 2+ year veterans, 57 entered 1–2 years ago, and 166 (23%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

3.8
out of 10

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.
