Smart Money Signals — MEI

Based on 152 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row

last 6Q
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added MEI 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.
📊

High ownership — 82% of 3.0Y peak

82% of all-time peak
152 funds currently hold this stock — 82% of the 3.0-year high of 185 funds (reached 2023 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️

Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year

fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding MEI is almost the same as a year ago (+1 funds, +1% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟡

Slight buying edge — 57% buying

94 buying72 selling
Last quarter: 94 funds bought or added vs 72 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 (+14 vs last Q)

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening a new MEI position: 30 → 17 → 23 → 37. A growing influx of new institutional buyers means the asset is still gathering momentum — the consensus hasn't fully saturated yet.
🔒

64% of holders stayed for 2+ years

■ 64% conviction (2yr+) ■ 18% medium ■ 18% new
98 out of 152 hedge funds have held MEI 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.
💰

Value +269% but shares only +8% — price-driven

Value
+269%
Shares
+7%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +269%, but actual share count only changed +8%. 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.
📈

Growing discovery — still being found

26 → 30 → 17 → 23 → 37 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 30 → 17 → 23 → 37. A growing number of institutions are discovering MEI each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 70% veterans vs 20% newcomers

■ 70% veterans ■ 9% 1-2yr ■ 20% new
Entry-cohort mix of 158 holders: 111 (70%) are 2+ year veterans, 15 entered 1–2 years ago, and 32 (20%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
🏆

Elite ownership — 52% AUM from top-100 funds

52% from top-100 AUM funds
39 of 149 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 52% of total institutional value in MEI. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
2.5
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.

Methodology note: these Smart Money cards use consecutive 13F disclosure snapshots, not trade-by-trade execution data. "Buying", "selling", "new holders", and "trimmed" refer to quarter-over-quarter changes in reported holders, aggregate shares, or disclosed position values between filings. They are useful for ownership regime analysis and crowding, but they do not imply exact trade timing on the filing date.
