The big shareholder groups in Public Joint Stock Company Perm Energy Supplying Company (MCX:PMSB) have power over the company. Large companies usually have institutions as shareholders, and we usually see insiders owning shares in smaller companies. I quite like to see at least a little bit of insider ownership. As Charlie Munger said ‘Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.’
Perm Energy Supplying is a smaller company with a market capitalization of RUруб3.1b, so it may still be flying under the radar of many institutional investors.

What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Perm Energy Supplying?
Institutional investors often avoid companies that are too small, too illiquid or too risky for their tastes. But it’s unusual to see larger companies without any institutional investors.
There are many reasons why a company might not have any institutions on the share registry. It may be hard for institutions to buy large amounts of shares, if liquidity (the amount of shares traded each day) is low. If the company has not needed to raise capital, institutions might lack the opportunity to build a position. 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. Perm Energy Supplying might not have the sort of past performance institutions are looking for, or perhaps they simply have not studied the business closely.
Perm Energy Supplying is not owned by hedge funds. As far I can tell there isn’t analyst coverage of the company, so it is probably flying under the radar.
Insider Ownership Of Perm Energy Supplying
The definition of company insiders can be subjective, and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. The company management answer to the board; and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board, themselves.
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.
It seems that insiders own more than half the Public Joint Stock Company Perm Energy Supplying Company stock. This gives them a lot of power. So they have a RUруб1.9b stake in this RUруб3.1b business. Most would be pleased to see the board is investing alongside them. You may wish todiscover (for free) if they have been buying or selling.
