Smart Money Signals — MFG

Based on 422 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q1 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 11 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 11 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MFG 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
422 hedge funds hold MFG 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 — +47% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+134 new funds entered over the past year (+47% 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

275 buying156 selling
Last quarter: 275 funds were net buyers (90 opened a brand new position + 185 added to an existing one). Only 156 were sellers (101 trimmed + 55 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.

🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 49% veterans vs 39% newcomers

■ 49% veterans ■ 11% 1-2yr ■ 39% new
Entry-cohort mix of 423 holders: 208 (49%) are 2+ year veterans, 48 entered 1–2 years ago, and 167 (39%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

4.5
out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.5/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.

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.
