We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. </p> <p> We can see that Marubeni 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.  When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Marubeni's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story. </p><figure><img height="1048" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/asset/chart/873804-earnings-and-revenue-growth-1-dark-2/1765753867091?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/873804-earnings-and-revenue-growth-1-dark-2/1765753867091"/><figcaption>TSE:8002 Earnings and Revenue Growth December 14th 2025</figcaption></figure> <p> Institutional investors own over 50% of the company, so together than can probably strongly influence board decisions.    We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Marubeni.      New England Asset Management, Inc. is currently the largest shareholder, with 9.4% of shares outstanding.       BlackRock, Inc. is the second largest shareholder owning 6.7% of common stock, and Nomura Asset Management Co., Ltd. holds about 5.1% of the company stock.   </p> <p> Looking at the shareholder registry, we can see that 50% of the ownership is controlled by the top 16 shareholders, meaning that no single shareholder has a majority interest in the ownership.  </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.   There are plenty of analysts covering the stock, so it might be worth seeing what they are forecasting, too.  </p><h2>Insider Ownership Of Marubeni</h2><p> While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders.  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> Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. </p> <p> Our information suggests that Marubeni Corporation insiders own under 1% of the company.   As it is a large company, we'd only expect insiders to own a small percentage of it. But it's worth noting that they own JP¥6.9b worth of shares.  Arguably recent buying and selling is just as important to consider.
