📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their MNTK 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 — 71% of 3.0Y peak
71% of all-time peak
76 funds currently hold this stock — 71% of the 3.0-year high of 107 funds (reached 2024 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 8% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
7 fewer hedge funds hold MNTK compared to a year ago (-8% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 39% buying
28 buying43 selling
Last quarter: 43 funds sold vs only 28 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-6 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 18 → 14 → 11 → 5. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒
62% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 62% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 12% new
47 out of 76 hedge funds have held MNTK for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -4%, value -20%
Last quarter: funds added -4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -20%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
12 → 18 → 14 → 11 → 5 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 18 → 14 → 11 → 5. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 67% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 67% veterans
■ 13% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Of 76 current holders: 51 (67%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
🏆
Elite ownership — 56% AUM from top-100 funds
56% from top-100 AUM funds
24 of 76 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 56% of total institutional value in MNTK. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 2.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
