Smart Money Signals — MACIW

Based on 33 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

➡️

No change last quarter

last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
📊

High ownership — 92% of 3.0Y peak

92% of all-time peak
33 funds currently hold this stock — 92% of the 3.0-year high of 36 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
🚀

Fast accumulation — +22% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+22% 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.
🔴

Heavy selling pressure — only 36% buying

4 buying7 selling
Last quarter: 7 funds sold vs only 4 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 7 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 21% entered in last year

■ 3% conviction (2yr+) ■ 76% medium ■ 21% new
Only 1 funds (3%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰

Value +2322% but shares only +2% — price-driven

Value
+2321%
Shares
+2%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +2322%, but actual share count only changed +2%. 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.
⚠️

Saturation — most institutions already know this story

5 → 5 → 7 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 7 → 1 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 3% veterans, 48% new entrants

■ 3% veterans ■ 48% 1-2yr ■ 48% new
Of 33 current holders: 1 (3%) held 2+ years, 16 held 1–2 years, 16 (48%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

Elite ownership — 96% AUM from top-100 funds

96% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 33 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 96% of total institutional value in MACIW. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
4.0
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
