📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MSGM 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 (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
18 hedge funds hold MSGM 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 — +100% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+9 new funds entered over the past year (+100% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
10 buying7 selling
Last quarter: 10 funds bought or added vs 7 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 — ~6 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 4 → 5 → 6. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 44% entered in last year
■ 17% conviction (2yr+)
■ 39% medium
■ 44% new
Only 3 funds (17%) 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.
💰
Value +54% but shares only +20% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +54%, but actual share count only changed +20%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~6 new funds/quarter
1 → 4 → 4 → 5 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 4 → 5 → 6. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
📊
Mixed cohorts — 33% veterans, 50% new entrants
■ 33% veterans
■ 17% 1-2yr
■ 50% new
Of 18 current holders: 6 (33%) held 2+ years, 3 held 1–2 years, 9 (50%) entered in the past year. Balanced distribution — some institutional memory, some recent momentum buyers.
🏆
Elite ownership — 53% AUM from top-100 funds
53% from top-100 AUM funds
9 of 18 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 53% of total institutional value in MSGM. 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 5.1/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
