What is BFST institutional ownership?
This page tracks BFST positions reported by institutional investment managers through SEC Form 13F. BUSINESS FIRST BANCSHARES (BFST) institutional ownership on InsiderSet reflects disclosed 13F holdings among the managers we analyze, not every shareholder of the stock.
How many institutions own BFST?
InsiderSet currently tracks 174 institutional managers reporting BFST holdings in the latest available 13F data. This count reflects institutions included in the SEC Form 13F filings analyzed by InsiderSet and should not be interpreted as the total number of BFST shareholders.
How much BFST stock do institutions own?

When was BFST institutional ownership last updated?
The latest BFST institutional ownership data on InsiderSet is based on SEC Form 13F filings for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
