What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About IntergisLtd?

Small companies that are not very actively traded often lack institutional investors, but it's less common to see large companies without them.

There could be various reasons why no institutions own shares in a company. Typically, small, newly listed companies don't attract much attention from fund managers, because it would not be possible for large fund managers to build a meaningful position in the company. It is also possible that fund managers don't own the stock because they aren't convinced it will perform well. Institutional investors may not find the historic growth of the business impressive, or there might be other factors at play.

The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.

Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of Intergis Co.Ltd. It has a market capitalization of just ₩125b, and insiders have ₩19b worth of shares in their own names.
