📈
Buying streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added MIST 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
85 hedge funds hold MIST 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 — +85% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+39 new funds entered over the past year (+85% 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.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 59% buying
46 buying32 selling
Last quarter: 46 funds bought or added vs 32 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 25 → 27 → 20. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
📌
Mixed — 33% long-term, 40% new
■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 27% medium
■ 40% new
Of the 85 current holders: 28 (33%) held >2 years, 23 held 1–2 years, and 34 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 +12%, value -33%
Last quarter: funds added +12% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -33%. 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
16 → 10 → 25 → 27 → 20 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 25 → 27 → 20. A growing number of institutions are discovering MIST each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 43% veterans vs 51% newcomers
■ 43% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 51% new
Entry-cohort mix of 89 holders: 38 (43%) are 2+ year veterans, 6 entered 1–2 years ago, and 45 (51%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 21% AUM from major funds
21% from top-100 AUM funds
18 of 85 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 21% 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 5.2/10 — some crowding factors present, but no critical concentration. Watch ownership trend over the next 1–2 quarters for direction.
