Smart Money Signals — MFG

Based on 374 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly

📈

Buying streak — 10 quarters in a row

last 6Q
For 10 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
374 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 — +38% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+102 new funds entered over the past year (+38% 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 — 72% buying

264 buying105 selling
Last quarter: 264 funds were net buyers (81 opened a brand new position + 183 added to an existing one). Only 105 were sellers (67 trimmed + 38 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
📈

More new buyers each quarter (+12 vs last Q)

🚀

Acceleration phase — new buyers rushing in

42 → 44 → 53 → 69 → 81 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 44 → 53 → 69 → 81. The pace of institutional discovery is accelerating sharply. This is the 'hot idea' phase — the thesis is being passed from fund to fund. You are not late — the accumulation wave is still building.
🏛️

Deep conviction — 48% of holders stayed 2+ years

■ 48% veterans ■ 17% 1-2yr ■ 36% new
Of 374 current holders: 178 (48%) 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.

out of 10
Moderate Exit Risk
Exit risk score 4.2/10 — 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.
