🔻
Below peak — only 62% of 1.5Y high
62% of all-time peak
Only 15 funds hold MKDWW today versus a peak of 24 funds at 2024 Q3 — just 62% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 25% fewer funds vs a year ago
