📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added MNTS 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 67% of 1.5Y high
67% of all-time peak
Only 14 funds hold MNTS today versus a peak of 21 funds at 2025 Q3 — just 67% 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 — 26% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
5 fewer hedge funds hold MNTS compared to a year ago (-26% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 50% buying
8 buying8 selling
Last quarter: 8 funds bought or added vs 8 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 — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 4 → 3 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 50% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 50% medium
■ 50% 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.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +201%, value -55%
Last quarter: funds added +201% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -55%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~7 new funds/quarter
3 → 1 → 4 → 3 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 4 → 3 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 57% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 43% 1-2yr
■ 57% new
Of 14 current holders: 8 (57%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 75% AUM from top-100 funds
75% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 14 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 75% of total institutional value in MNTS. 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 2.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
