Based on 46 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
46 hedge funds hold MKTW 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 — +2200% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+44 new funds entered over the past year (+2200% 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 3 quarters from the low — a sharp move.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
19 buying19 selling
Last quarter: 19 funds bought or added vs 19 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 — ~4 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 41 → 8 → 4. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 26% long-term, 63% new
■ 26% conviction (2yr+)
■ 11% medium
■ 63% new
Of the 46 current holders: 12 (26%) held >2 years, 5 held 1–2 years, and 29 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
0 → 2 → 41 → 8 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 41 → 8 → 4. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🌱
Early stage — 65% of holders entered in last year
■ 35% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 65% new
Of 46 current holders: 30 (65%) entered in the past year, only 16 (35%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 50% AUM from top-100 funds
50% from top-100 AUM funds
16 of 46 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 50% of total institutional value in MKTW. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 6.6/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
