View our latest analysis for Bombay Super Hybrid Seeds NSEI:BSHSL Ownership Summary, November 18th 2019 What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Bombay Super Hybrid Seeds? We don’t tend to see institutional investors holding stock of companies that are very risky, thinly traded, or very small. Though we do sometimes see large companies without institutions on the register, it’s not particularly common. 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.

Insider Ownership Of Bombay Super Hybrid Seeds 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. The company management answer to the board; and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board, themselves. I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions. It seems that insiders own more than half the Bombay Super Hybrid Seeds Limited stock. This gives them a lot of power. That means they own ₹738m worth of shares in the ₹944m company.
