Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MBX 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
137 hedge funds hold MBX 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 — +128% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+77 new funds entered over the past year (+128% 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 — 65% buying
98 buying53 selling
Last quarter: 98 funds were net buyers (41 opened a brand new position + 57 added to an existing one). Only 53 were sellers (29 trimmed + 24 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~41 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 28 → 21 → 41 → 41. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 51% entered in last year
■ 4% conviction (2yr+)
■ 45% medium
■ 51% new
Only 6 funds (4%) 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.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+77% value, -2% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional MBX holdings rose +77% even though funds reduced share count by 2%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
🚀
Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in
32 → 28 → 21 → 41 → 41 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 28 → 21 → 41 → 41. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🌱
Early stage — 73% of holders entered in last year
■ 7% veterans
■ 20% 1-2yr
■ 73% new
Of 142 current holders: 104 (73%) entered in the past year, only 10 (7%) 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
26 of 137 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 5.7/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
