What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About PWR Holdings?
Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing.
As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in PWR Holdings. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at PWR Holdings' earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.
PWR Holdings is not owned by hedge funds. The company's CEO Kees Weel is the largest shareholder with 10% of shares outstanding. With 6.7% and 6.4% of the shares outstanding respectively, KPW Property Trust and Australian Super Pty Ltd are the second and third largest shareholders.
After doing some more digging, we found that the top 16 have the combined ownership of 50% in the company, suggesting that no single shareholder has significant control over the company.
While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock's expected performance. There are plenty of analysts covering the stock, so it might be worth seeing what they are forecasting, too.
