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.

Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited is currently the largest shareholder, with 65% of shares outstanding.   This essentially means that they have extensive influence, if not outright control, over the future of the corporation.        Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC Limited is the second largest shareholder owning 2.9% of common stock, and Nippon Life India Asset Management Limited holds about 2.0% of the company stock.   </p><p> While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing.   Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily.  </p><h2>Insider Ownership Of Thomas Cook (India)</h2><p> The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count.  Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO. </p><p> 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. </p> <p> Shareholders would probably be interested to learn that insiders own shares in Thomas Cook (India) Limited.   As individuals, the insiders collectively own ₹1.5b worth of the ₹65b company.   Some would say this shows alignment of interests between shareholders and the board. But it might be worth checking if those insiders have been selling.  </p> <h2>General Public Ownership</h2><p> The general public-- including retail investors -- own 22% stake in the company, and hence can't easily be ignored.   This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders. </p> <h2>Public Company Ownership</h2><p> It appears to us that public companies own 65% of Thomas Cook (India).   This may be a strategic interest and the two companies may have related business interests. It could be that they have de-merged. This holding is probably worth investigating further.  </p> <h2>Next Steps:</h2><p> While it is well worth considering the different groups that own a company, there are other factors that are even more important.    Consider risks, for instance.
