What does institutional ownership tell us about Intuitive Investments Group?
Institutional investors commonly compare their own company’s returns to the returns of a commonly tracked index, so they typically consider buying large companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.
We can see that Intuitive Investments Group has institutional investors, who own a significant percentage of the company’s shares. This suggests that there is some credibility among professional investors. However, like everyone, institutions make bad investments sometimes, so you can’t rely on this fact alone. When multiple institutional investors own a stock, there’s always a risk that it may get caught in a ‘crowded trade’. If such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell shares fast. This risk is higher in companies without a history of growth. You can see Intuitive Investments Group’s historic earnings and revenue below, but remember there’s always more to the story.
Intuitive Investments Group is not owned by hedge funds. Frank Tong is currently the company’s largest shareholder holding 18% of shares outstanding. Entain Inc. is the second largest shareholder holding 11% of common stock, and Peter Kershaw holds about 8.2% of the company’s shares.
A look at the shareholder registry shows that 50% of the ownership is controlled by the top 11 shareholders, meaning that no single shareholder holds majority ownership rights.
Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and sift through a stock’s expected performance. The same can be accomplished by studying analyst sentiment. There is no analyst coverage of this stock at the moment, so the company is unlikely to be widely held.
Insider Ownership of Intuitive Investments Group
The definition of a company insider can be subjective and varies by jurisdiction. Our data reflects individual insiders, and includes, at a minimum, directors. Management are ultimately accountable to the board of directors. However, it is not uncommon for management to also be members of the executive board, particularly if they are founders or CEOs.
I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing, but in some cases it can make it difficult for other shareholders to hold the board to account for decisions.
