Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MDWD 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
76 hedge funds hold MDWD 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 — +23% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+14 new funds entered over the past year (+23% 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 — 63% buying
48 buying28 selling
Last quarter: 48 funds were net buyers (15 opened a brand new position + 33 added to an existing one). Only 28 were sellers (16 trimmed + 12 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 10 → 16 → 15. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 28% entered in last year
■ 22% conviction (2yr+)
■ 50% medium
■ 28% new
Only 17 funds (22%) 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.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
6 → 10 → 10 → 16 → 15 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 10 → 16 → 15. A growing number of institutions are discovering MDWD each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
