What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About MDB Capital Holdings?
Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.
Less than 5% of MDB Capital Holdings is held by institutional investors. This suggests that some funds have the company in their sights, but many have not yet bought shares in it. If the business gets stronger from here, we could see a situation where more institutions are keen to buy. It is not uncommon to see a big share price rise if multiple institutional investors are trying to buy into a stock at the same time. So check out the historic earnings trajectory, below, but keep in mind it's the future that counts most.
We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in MDB Capital Holdings. The company's CEO Christopher Marlett is the largest shareholder with 41% of shares outstanding. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 14% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 0.8% by the third-largest shareholder. Interestingly, the second-largest shareholder, Anthony DiGiandomenico is also Senior Key Executive, again, pointing towards strong insider ownership amongst the company's top shareholders.
After doing some more digging, we found that the top 2 shareholders collectively control more than half of the company's shares, implying that they have considerable power to influence the company's decisions.
