Smart Money Signals — BYRN

Based on 122 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their BYRN positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 89% of 3.0Y peak

89% of all-time peak
122 funds currently hold this stock — 89% of the 3.0-year high of 137 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉

Outflows — 5% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
7 fewer hedge funds hold BYRN compared to a year ago (-5% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 49% buying

67 buying69 selling
Last quarter: 69 funds reduced or exited vs 67 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+7 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new BYRN position: 40 → 32 → 23 → 30. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
📌

Mixed — 34% long-term, 27% new

■ 34% conviction (2yr+) ■ 39% medium ■ 27% new
Of the 122 current holders: 41 (34%) held >2 years, 48 held 1–2 years, and 33 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 -14%, value -53%

Value
-52%
Shares
-13%
Last quarter: funds added -14% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -53%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

28 → 40 → 32 → 23 → 30 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 40 → 32 → 23 → 30. BYRN is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 42% veterans vs 33% newcomers

■ 42% veterans ■ 25% 1-2yr ■ 33% new
Entry-cohort mix of 126 holders: 53 (42%) are 2+ year veterans, 31 entered 1–2 years ago, and 42 (33%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 62% AUM from top-100 funds

62% from top-100 AUM funds
33 of 121 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 62% of total institutional value in BYRN. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.2
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 3.2/10 — 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.
