📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MUSA 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
609 hedge funds hold MUSA 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 — +23% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+113 new funds entered over the past year (+23% 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 — 56% buying
319 buying252 selling
Last quarter: 319 funds bought or added vs 252 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.
📈
More new buyers each quarter (+27 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new MUSA position: 67 → 101 → 97 → 124. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒
59% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 59% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 22% new
357 out of 609 hedge funds have held MUSA 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 +64%, value +6%
Last quarter: funds added +64% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +6%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
83 → 67 → 101 → 97 → 124 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 67 → 101 → 97 → 124. A growing number of institutions are discovering MUSA each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 66% veterans vs 24% newcomers
■ 66% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Entry-cohort mix of 623 holders: 410 (66%) are 2+ year veterans, 65 entered 1–2 years ago, and 148 (24%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆
Elite ownership — 51% AUM from top-100 funds
51% from top-100 AUM funds
61 of 604 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 51% of total institutional value in MUSA. 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 3.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
