    What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Yuexiu Transport Infrastructure?

    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.

    Yuexiu Transport Infrastructure already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. 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. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Yuexiu Transport Infrastructure's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.

    Insider Ownership Of Yuexiu Transport Infrastructure

    The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. 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 less than 1% of Yuexiu Transport Infrastructure Limited. We do note, however, it is possible insiders have an indirect interest through a private company or other corporate structure. It appears that the board holds about HK$4.7m worth of stock. This compares to a market capitalization of HK$7.7b. Many tend to prefer to see a board with bigger shareholdings.

    Private Company Ownership

    Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 59%, 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.
