A look at the shareholders of Indo National Limited (NSE:NIPPOBATRY) can tell us which group is most powerful. Insiders often own a large chunk of younger, smaller, companies while huge companies tend to have institutions as shareholders. I generally like to see some degree of insider ownership, even if only a little. As Nassim Nicholas Taleb said, 'Don’t tell me what you think, tell me what you have in your portfolio.'
Indo National is not a large company by global standards. It has a market capitalization of ₹1.7b, which means it wouldn't have the attention of many institutional investors. In the chart below below, we can see that institutions own shares in the company. We can zoom in on the different ownership groups, to learn more about NIPPOBATRY.

What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Indo National?
Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices.
We can see that Indo National does have institutional investors; and they hold 7.7% of the stock. 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 Indo National's historic earnings and revenue, below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.
We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Indo National. As far I can tell there isn't analyst coverage of the company, so it is probably flying under the radar.
Insider Ownership Of Indo National
The definition of company insiders can be subjective, and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
Our most recent data indicates that insiders own the majority of Indo National Limited. This means they can collectively make decisions for the company. Given it has a market cap of ₹1.7b, that means they have ₹1.1b worth of shares. Most would be pleased to see the board is investing alongside them.
