What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Osia Hyper Retail?
Small companies that are not very actively traded often lack institutional investors, but it's less common to see large companies without them.
There are many reasons why a company might not have any institutions on the share registry. It may be hard for institutions to buy large amounts of shares, if liquidity (the amount of shares traded each day) is low. If the company has not needed to raise capital, institutions might lack the opportunity to build a position. On the other hand, it's always possible that professional investors are avoiding a company because they don't think it's the best place for their money. Osia Hyper Retail's earnings and revenue track record (below) may not be compelling to institutional investors -- or they simply might not have looked at the business closely.
