What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Triumph Science & TechnologyLtd?
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.
We can see that Triumph Science & TechnologyLtd does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Triumph Science & TechnologyLtd, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too.
We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Triumph Science & TechnologyLtd. Looking at our data, we can see that the largest shareholder is China National Building Material Group Co., Ltd. with 29% of shares outstanding. Shenzhen Capital Group Hongtu Private Equity Investment Fund Management (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. is the second largest shareholder owning 4.8% of common stock, and Chengtong Fund Management Co., Ltd. holds about 3.8% of the company stock.
A deeper look at our ownership data shows that the top 25 shareholders collectively hold less than half of the register, suggesting a large group of small holders where no single shareholder has a majority.
