What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About sindohLtd?

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.

sindohLtd 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 sindohLtd's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.

sindohLtd is not owned by hedge funds. Sindo SDR Co., Ltd. is currently the largest shareholder, with 23% of shares outstanding.
