  • What does "buy" mean in MSM activity?

    "Buy" means an investor increased their reported position in MSM compared to the prior reporting period. This reflects growing exposure to MSC INDUSTRIAL DIRECT CO-A (MSM) rather than necessarily a brand-new position (though new positions also appear as buys when prior quantity was zero).

  • Is institutional interest in MSM increasing?
