Smart Money Signals — MTLS

Based on 59 hedge funds · latest filing: 2026 Q2 · updated quarterly

➡️

No change last quarter

last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
📊

High ownership — 75% of 3.0Y peak

75% of all-time peak
59 funds currently hold this stock — 75% of the 3.0-year high of 79 funds (reached 2024 Q4). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

Steady growth — +5% more funds vs a year ago

fund count last 6Q
+3 new funds entered over the past year (+5% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠

More sellers than buyers — 44% buying

25 buying32 selling
Last quarter: 32 funds reduced or exited vs 25 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
➡️

Steady new buyers — ~11 new funds per quarter

new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 11 → 12 → 9 → 11. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒

■ 63% conviction (2yr+) ■ 15% medium ■ 22% new
37 out of 59 hedge funds have held MTLS 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 +63% but shares only +9% — price-driven

Value
+63%
Shares
+9%
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +63%, but actual share count only changed +9%. 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 — ~11 new funds/quarter

7 → 11 → 12 → 9 → 11 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 11 → 12 → 9 → 11. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️

Veteran-anchored — 73% veterans vs 21% newcomers

■ 73% veterans ■ 6% 1-2yr ■ 21% new
Entry-cohort mix of 63 holders: 46 (73%) are 2+ year veterans, 4 entered 1–2 years ago, and 13 (21%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋

Smaller funds dominant — 18% AUM from top-100

18% from top-100 AUM funds

2.7
out of 10
Low Exit Risk
Exit risk score 2.7/10 — 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.
