"Stay in touch" response to thank you email?

Hey guys can I get your quick take on this?

Interviewed at a PE shop for 4 rounds, 6 guys in total. 6/6 replied my thank you emails. Ran into an interviewer later that week in town, and he mentioned he liked my chances. So far so good.

Anyway, I had final round with a senior guy. He replied to my thank you email with "it was nice meeting you and learning about you etc etc stay in touch"

Does "stay in touch" basically mean im dinged? Or am I massively overthinking this?
