We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. </p> <p> Anritsu already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company.  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.  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 Anritsu, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too. </p><figure><img height="1048" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/asset/chart/881038-earnings-and-revenue-growth-1-dark-2/1766194977296?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/881038-earnings-and-revenue-growth-1-dark-2/1766194977296"/><figcaption>TSE:6754 Earnings and Revenue Growth December 20th 2025</figcaption></figure> <p> Hedge funds don't have many shares in Anritsu.      Amova Asset Management Co., Ltd. is currently the company's largest shareholder with 6.8% of shares outstanding.        In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 5.3% and 5.2% 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> 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 a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future.  </p><h2>Insider Ownership Of Anritsu</h2><p> 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. </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 information suggests that Anritsu Corporation insiders own under 1% of the company.   It is a pretty big company, so it would be possible for board members to own a meaningful interest in the company, without owning much of a proportional interest. In this case, they own around JP¥172m worth of shares (at current prices).  It is good to see board members owning shares, but it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying.  </p> <h2>General Public Ownership</h2><p> The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a substantial 56% stake in Anritsu, suggesting it is a fairly popular stock.  This size of ownership gives investors from the general public some collective power. They can and probably do influence decisions on executive compensation, dividend policies and proposed business acquisitions.  </p> <h2>Next Steps:</h2><p> It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company.
