What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Massimo Group?
Small companies that are not very actively traded often lack institutional investors, but it's less common to see large companies without them.
There are multiple explanations for why institutions don't own a stock. The most common is that the company is too small relative to funds under management, so the institution does not bother to look closely at the company. On the other hand, it's always possible that professional investors are avoiding a company because they don't think it's the best place for their money. Massimo Group might not have the sort of past performance institutions are looking for, or perhaps they simply have not studied the business closely.

Massimo Group is not owned by hedge funds. With a 77% stake, CEO David Shan is the largest shareholder. This implies that they possess majority interests and have significant control over the company. Investors usually consider it a good sign when the company leadership has such a significant stake, as this is widely perceived to increase the chance that the management will act in the best interests of the company. Meanwhile, the second and third largest shareholders, hold 10% and 0.3%, of the shares outstanding, respectively. Interestingly, the third-largest shareholder, Yunhao Chen is also a Member of the Board of Directors, again, indicating strong insider ownership amongst the company's top shareholders.
While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing. As far as we can tell there isn't analyst coverage of the company, so it is probably flying under the radar.
Insider Ownership Of Massimo Group
While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO.
I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.
Our most recent data indicates that insiders own the majority of Massimo Group. This means they can collectively make decisions for the company. So they have a US$80m stake in this US$103m business. It is good to see this level of investment. You can check here to see if those insiders have been buying recently.
General Public Ownership
With a 12% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over Massimo Group. While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies.
Private Company Ownership
Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 10%, of the company's shares. Private companies may be related parties. Sometimes insiders have an interest in a public company through a holding in a private company, rather than in their own capacity as an individual. While it's hard to draw any broad stroke conclusions, it is worth noting as an area for further research.
