Who Owns Most Of MyBucks SA. (FRA:MBC)?

In this article, I'm going to take a look at MyBucks SA.’s (DB:MBC) latest ownership structure, a non-fundamental factor which is important, but remains a less discussed subject among investors. A company's ownership structure is often linked to its share performance in both the long- and short-term. Different types of investors can have varying degrees of influence on a company’s management team. For example, an active institutional investor may be more likely to hold a company accountable for certain actions whereas a passive fund will move in and out of stocks without regards to corporate governance. The implications of these institutions’ actions can either benefit or hinder individual investors, so it is important to understand the ownership composition of your stock investment. Now I will analyze MBC's shareholder registry in more detail.

Institutional Ownership

Due to the big order sizes of institutional investors, a company's shares can experience large, one-sided momentum, driven by high volume of shares removed from, or injected into, the market. With an institutional ownership of 1.25%, MBC doesn't seem too exposed to higher volatility resulting from institutional trading. Additionally, the company is covered by only 2 analyst, further highlighting its low popularity.

General Public Ownership

The general public holds a substantial 98.75% stake in MBC, making it a highly popular stock among retail investors. This size of ownership gives retail investors collective power in deciding on major policy decisions such as executive compensation, appointment of directors and acquisitions of businesses. This level of ownership gives retail investors the power to sway key policy decisions such as board composition, executive compensation, and potential acquisitions. This is a positive sign for an investor who wants to be involved in key decision-making of the company.
