Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q

For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added BZFD 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.

📊

High ownership — 80% of 3.0Y peak

80% of all-time peak

39 funds currently hold this stock — 80% of the 3.0-year high of 49 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.

📉

Outflows — 9% fewer funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

4 fewer hedge funds hold BZFD compared to a year ago (-9% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.

Value +188% but shares only +22% — price-driven

Value

+188%

+22%

Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +188%, but actual share count only changed +22%. 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: 8 → 3 → 5 → 15. A growing number of institutions are discovering BZFD each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

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.
