Smart Money Signals — MODG

Based on 302 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 2 quarters in a row

last 6Q

For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MODG 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.

🏔️

At the ownership peak (96% of max)

96% of all-time peak

302 hedge funds hold MODG 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.

📶

Steady growth — +5% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q

+14 new funds entered over the past year (+5% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.

🟡

Slight buying edge — 54% buying

161 buying136 selling

Last quarter: 161 funds bought or added vs 136 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 — ~56 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 38 → 39 → 55 → 56. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

🔒

66% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 66% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 17% new

198 out of 302 hedge funds have held MODG 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.

💰

Price up while funds trimmed (+18% value, -1% shares)

Value

+17%

Last quarter: total value of institutional MODG holdings rose +18% even though funds reduced share count by 1%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.

📈

Growing discovery — still being found

55 → 38 → 39 → 55 → 56 new funds/Q

New funds entering each quarter: 38 → 39 → 55 → 56. A growing number of institutions are discovering MODG each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 74% veterans vs 17% newcomers

■ 74% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 17% new

Entry-cohort mix of 317 holders: 234 (74%) are 2+ year veterans, 29 entered 1–2 years ago, and 54 (17%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

🏆

Elite ownership — 40% AUM from top-100 funds

40% from top-100 AUM funds

51 of 299 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 40% of total institutional value in MODG. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.

3.3

out of 10

Low Exit Risk

Exit risk score 3.3/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
