So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Aurionpro Solutions, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too.

Aurionpro Solutions is not owned by hedge funds. Our data suggests that Paresh Zaveri, who is also the company's Top Key Executive, holds the most number of shares at 16%. When an insider holds a sizeable amount of a company's stock, investors consider it as a positive sign because it suggests that insiders are willing to have their wealth tied up in the future of the company. With 7.2% and 6.0% of the shares outstanding respectively, Ashish Rai and Amit Sheth are the second and third largest shareholders. Interestingly, the second and third-largest shareholders also happen to be the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of the Board, respectively. This once again signifies considerable insider ownership amongst the company's top shareholders.

We also observed that the top 9 shareholders account for more than half of the share register, with a few smaller shareholders to balance the interests of the larger ones to a certain extent.
