📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MAZE 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 (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
142 hedge funds hold MAZE 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +14100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+141 new funds entered over the past year (+14100% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 79% buying
103 buying27 selling
Last quarter: 103 funds were net buyers (58 opened a brand new position + 45 added to an existing one). Only 27 were sellers (20 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+35 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new MAZE position: 66 → 13 → 23 → 58. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 58% entered in last year
■ 3% conviction (2yr+)
■ 39% medium
■ 58% new
Only 4 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 +79% but shares only +13% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +79%, but actual share count only changed +13%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~58 new funds/quarter
1 → 66 → 13 → 23 → 58 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 66 → 13 → 23 → 58. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 94% of holders entered in last year
■ 6% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 94% new
Of 142 current holders: 133 (94%) entered in the past year, only 9 (6%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.

Smaller funds dominant — 17% AUM from top-100
17% from top-100 AUM funds
28 of 142 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 17% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.4/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
