So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index. </p> <p> We can see that Kalaris Therapeutics does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock.  This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does.  If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Kalaris Therapeutics' earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters. </p><figure><img height="1048" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/asset/chart/1900954228-earnings-and-revenue-growth-1-dark-2/1759062234863?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="1642" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/asset/chart/1900954228-earnings-and-revenue-growth-1-dark-2/1759062234863"/><figcaption>NasdaqGM:KLRS Earnings and Revenue Growth September 28th 2025</figcaption></figure> <p> Kalaris Therapeutics is not owned by hedge funds.      Samsara BioCapital LLC is currently the company's largest shareholder with 61% of shares outstanding.    This implies that they have majority interest control of the future of the company.        With 3.9% and 2.8% of the shares outstanding respectively, ElevateBio, LLC and Samir Patel are the second and third largest shareholders.   </p><p> Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments.   There are plenty of analysts covering the stock, so it might be worth seeing what they are forecasting, too.  </p><h2>Insider Ownership Of Kalaris Therapeutics</h2><p> While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders.  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. </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> Our most recent data indicates that insiders own some shares in Kalaris Therapeutics, Inc..   As individuals, the insiders collectively own US$9.5m worth of the US$105m company.   Some would say this shows alignment of interests between shareholders and the board, though we generally prefer to see bigger insider holdings. 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 14% stake in the company, and hence can't easily be ignored.   While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies. </p> <h2>Private Equity Ownership</h2><p> With a stake of 61%, private equity firms could influence the Kalaris Therapeutics board.   Sometimes we see private equity stick around for the long term, but generally speaking they have a shorter investment horizon and -- as the name suggests -- don't invest in public companies much. After some time they may look to sell and redeploy capital elsewhere.  </p> <h2>Private Company Ownership</h2><p> It seems that Private Companies own 5.0%, of the Kalaris Therapeutics stock.   Private companies may be related parties. Sometimes insiders have an interest in a public company through a holding in a private company, rather than in their own capacity as an individual. While it's hard to draw any broad stroke conclusions, it is worth noting as an area for further research.  </p> <h2>Next Steps:</h2><p> I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.    Like risks, for instance. Every company has them, and we've spotted  <strong> 4 warning signs for Kalaris Therapeutics </strong>  (of which 2 are potentially serious!) you should know about.    </p> <p> But ultimately <strong> it is the future</strong>, not the past, that will determine how well the owners of this business will do. Therefore we think it advisable to take a look at this free report showing whether analysts are predicting a brighter future. </p> <p><small>NB: Figures in this article are calculated using data from the last twelve months, which refer to the 12-month period ending on the last date of the month the financial statement is dated.
