📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added MASS 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 (97% of max)
97% of all-time peak
112 hedge funds hold MASS 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.
📶
Steady growth — +12% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+12 new funds entered over the past year (+12% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 56% buying
62 buying49 selling
Last quarter: 62 funds bought or added vs 49 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new MASS position: 19 → 21 → 12 → 18. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
45% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 45% conviction (2yr+)
■ 32% medium
■ 23% new
50 out of 112 hedge funds have held MASS for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +44% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +44%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
26 → 19 → 21 → 12 → 18 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 19 → 21 → 12 → 18. MASS 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 — 55% veterans vs 28% newcomers
■ 55% veterans
■ 17% 1-2yr
■ 28% new
Entry-cohort mix of 113 holders: 62 (55%) are 2+ year veterans, 19 entered 1–2 years ago, and 32 (28%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 23% AUM from major funds
23% from top-100 AUM funds
35 of 112 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 23% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
