📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added MX 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.
🔻
Below peak — only 62% of 3.0Y high
62% of all-time peak
Only 72 funds hold MX today versus a peak of 117 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 62% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 16% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
14 fewer hedge funds hold MX compared to a year ago (-16% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 51% buying
36 buying35 selling
Last quarter: 36 funds bought or added vs 35 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -9%, value -92%
Last quarter: funds added -9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -92%. 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
15 → 17 → 6 → 12 → 16 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 17 → 6 → 12 → 16. A growing number of institutions are discovering MX each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 75% veterans vs 19% newcomers
■ 75% veterans
■ 7% 1-2yr
■ 19% new
Entry-cohort mix of 75 holders: 56 (75%) are 2+ year veterans, 5 entered 1–2 years ago, and 14 (19%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
✅
Strong quality — 24% AUM from major funds
24% from top-100 AUM funds
21 of 72 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 24% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 1.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
