NYSE:V Ownership Breakdown August 8th 2022What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Visa?
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.
We can see that Visa 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 Visa's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.
NYSE:V Earnings and Revenue Growth August 8th 2022Since institutional investors own more than half the issued stock, the board will likely have to pay attention to their preferences. Visa is not owned by hedge funds. The company's largest shareholder is The Vanguard Group, Inc., with ownership of 7.5%. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 6.6% and 3.8% of the stock.
A deeper look at our ownership data shows that the top 25 shareholders collectively hold less than half of the register, suggesting a large group of small holders where no single shareholder has a majority.
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.
Insider Ownership Of Visa
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. 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.
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.
Our most recent data indicates that insiders own less than 1% of Visa Inc.. Being so large, we would not expect insiders to own a large proportion of the stock. Collectively, they own US$223m of stock. Arguably recent buying and selling is just as important to consider. You can click here to see if insiders have been buying or selling.
General Public Ownership
The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 17% stake in Visa. 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.

While it is well worth considering the different groups that own a company, there are other factors that are even more important.

Visa的內部人所有權
公司內部人的定義可能是主觀的,而且在不同的司法管轄區之間確實有所不同。我們的數據反映了個別內部人士,至少捕捉到了董事會成員。管理層最終要向董事會負責。然而,經理人擔任執行董事會成員並不少見,尤其是如果他們是創始人或首席執行官的話。
大多數人認為內部人持股是積極的,因為它可以表明董事會與其他股東很好地結盟。然而,在某些情況下,太多的權力集中在這個羣體中。
我們的最新數據顯示,內部人士持有Visa不到1%的股份。由於規模如此之大,我們不會指望內部人士會持有很大比例的股票。他們總共擁有2.23億美元的股票。可以説,最近的買入和賣出也同樣重要。你可以點擊這裏,看看內部人士是在買入還是賣出。
一般公有制
