📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their MAPS positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (98% of max)
98% of all-time peak
110 hedge funds hold MAPS 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
+5 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.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 48% buying
51 buying56 selling
Last quarter: 56 funds reduced or exited vs 51 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~19 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 25 → 21 → 19. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 39% long-term, 28% new
■ 39% conviction (2yr+)
■ 33% medium
■ 28% new
Of the 110 current holders: 43 (39%) held >2 years, 36 held 1–2 years, and 31 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -5%, value -24%
Last quarter: funds added -5% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -24%. 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
20 → 7 → 25 → 21 → 19 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 25 → 21 → 19. A growing number of institutions are discovering MAPS each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 49% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 49% veterans
■ 15% 1-2yr
■ 37% new
Of 115 current holders: 56 (49%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅
Strong quality — 31% AUM from major funds
31% from top-100 AUM funds
30 of 110 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 31% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
