Based on 3 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 7% of 1.5Y high
7% of all-time peak
Only 3 funds hold MLACU today versus a peak of 42 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 7% 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 — 82% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
14 fewer hedge funds hold MLACU compared to a year ago (-82% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 33% buying
1 buying2 selling

➡️

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 1 → 1 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -30%, value -100%
Last quarter: funds added -30% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -100%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
