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.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
19 hedge funds hold MSLC 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 — +73% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+8 new funds entered over the past year (+73% 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.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 61% buying
14 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds were net buyers (7 opened a brand new position + 7 added to an existing one). Only 9 were sellers (2 trimmed + 7 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 6 → 9 → 7. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 63% entered in last year
■ 5% conviction (2yr+)
■ 32% medium
■ 63% new
Only 1 funds (5%) 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~7 new funds/quarter
11 → 7 → 6 → 9 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 6 → 9 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 95% of holders entered in last year
■ 5% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 95% new
Of 19 current holders: 18 (95%) entered in the past year, only 1 (5%) 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 — 100% AUM from top-100 funds
100% from top-100 AUM funds
6 of 19 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 100% of total institutional value in MSLC. 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 5.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
