📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MFSG 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
26 hedge funds hold MFSG right now — the highest count in 1.2 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 — +767% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 5Q
+23 new funds entered over the past year (+767% 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. The peak was reached in just 4 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 79% buying
22 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 22 funds were net buyers (9 opened a brand new position + 13 added to an existing one). Only 6 were sellers (2 trimmed + 4 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~9 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 6 → 7 → 10 → 9. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 81% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 81% new
Only 0 funds (0%) 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~9 new funds/quarter
6 → 7 → 10 → 9 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 6 → 7 → 10 → 9. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 100% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 100% new
Of 26 current holders: 26 (100%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 24% AUM from major funds
24% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 26 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 24% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 7.0/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
