So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices. </p> <p> As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Cameco.  This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes.  It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Cameco, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too. </p><figure><img height="524" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/asset/chart/379153-earnings-and-revenue-growth-1-dark/1748005684550?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="821" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/asset/chart/379153-earnings-and-revenue-growth-1-dark/1748005684550"/><figcaption>TSX:CCO Earnings and Revenue Growth May 23rd 2025</figcaption></figure> <p> Since institutional investors own more than half the issued stock, the board will likely have to pay attention to their preferences.    We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Cameco.      The Vanguard Group, Inc. is currently the company's largest shareholder with 3.9% of shares outstanding.        In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 3.5% and 3.3% of the stock.   </p> <p> On studying our ownership data, we found that 25 of the top shareholders collectively own less than 50% of the share register, implying that no single individual has a majority interest. </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 Cameco</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> 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. </p> <p> Our data suggests that insiders own under 1% of Cameco Corporation in their own names.   It is a very large company, so it would be surprising to see insiders own a large proportion of the company. Though their holding amounts to less than 1%, we can see that board members collectively own CA$67m worth of shares (at current prices).  In this sort of situation, it can be more interesting to  see if those insiders have been buying or selling.  </p> <h2>General Public Ownership</h2><p> With a 30% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over Cameco.  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>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. </p> <p> <strong>Many find it useful</strong> to take an in depth look at how a company has performed in the past.
