Buying streak — 6 quarters in a row
For 6 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MBOT 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
80 hedge funds hold MBOT 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 — +90% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+38 new funds entered over the past year (+90% 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 — 64% buying
51 buying29 selling
Last quarter: 51 funds were net buyers (22 opened a brand new position + 29 added to an existing one). Only 29 were sellers (15 trimmed + 14 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~22 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 15 → 28 → 21 → 22. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 25% long-term, 46% new
■ 25% conviction (2yr+)
■ 29% medium
■ 46% new
Of the 80 current holders: 20 (25%) held >2 years, 23 held 1–2 years, and 37 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.
💰
Value +49% but shares only +24% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +49%, but actual share count only changed +24%. 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 — ~22 new funds/quarter
13 → 15 → 28 → 21 → 22 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 15 → 28 → 21 → 22. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 59% of holders entered in last year
■ 32% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 59% new
Of 85 current holders: 50 (59%) entered in the past year, only 27 (32%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 31% AUM from major funds
31% from top-100 AUM funds
22 of 78 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.

Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 5.0/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
