Smart Money Signals — MESO

Based on 67 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📉

Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their MESO positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak

91% of all-time peak
67 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 74 funds (reached 2025 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding MESO is almost the same as a year ago (+0 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 53% buying

37 buying33 selling
Last quarter: 37 funds bought or added vs 33 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.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~10 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 16 → 12 → 13 → 10. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄

Mostly new holders — 24% entered in last year

24% conviction (2yr+) 52% medium 24% new
Only 16 funds (24%) 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.
📊

Peak discovery — momentum slowing

16 → 16 → 12 → 13 → 10 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 12 → 13 → 10. MESO is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
📊

Mixed cohorts — 7% veterans, 38% new entrants

7% veterans 55% 1-2yr 38% new
Of 73 current holders: 5 (7%) held 2+ years, 40 held 1–2 years, 28 (38%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆

Elite ownership — 59% AUM from top-100 funds

59% from top-100 AUM funds
19 of 67 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 59% of total institutional value in MESO. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
3.2
out of 10

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.
