📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BWAY 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
55 hedge funds hold BWAY 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 — +31% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+13 new funds entered over the past year (+31% 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 buyers than sellers — 83% buying
52 buying11 selling
Last quarter: 52 funds were net buyers (21 opened a brand new position + 31 added to an existing one). Only 11 were sellers (2 trimmed + 9 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+14 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BWAY position: 6 → 10 → 7 → 21. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.

■ 31% medium
■ 44% new
Of the 55 current holders: 14 (25%) held >2 years, 17 held 1–2 years, and 24 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 +98%, value +28%
Last quarter: funds added +98% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +28%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
9 → 6 → 10 → 7 → 21 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 10 → 7 → 21. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
