Institutional cluster: 2 buyers, 3 sellers (mixed)
Actionable Insight ▼ Bearish

The cluster is dominated by active/quant sellers (Morgan Stanley, D.E. Shaw, Citadel) reducing large positions, while passive buyers added smaller amounts. This suggests a bearish institutional read on MXL heading into Q4 2025. Monitor upcoming earnings for any fundamental deterioration that may have driven the selling.
