If you want to know who really controls TMC Life Sciences Berhad then you’ll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 70% to be precise, is public companies. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk).
Individual insiders, on the other hand, account for 12% of the company’s stockholders. Generally speaking, as a company grows, institutions will increase their ownership. Conversely, insiders often decrease their ownership over time.
Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.
Since institutions own only a small portion of TMC Life Sciences Berhad, many may not have spent much time considering the stock. But it’s clear that some have; and they liked it enough to buy in. If the business gets stronger from here, we could see a situation where more institutions are keen to buy.
