Private companies who hold 57% of Newegg Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEGG) gained 118%, insiders profited as well
Newegg Commerce's significant private companies ownership suggests that the key decisions are influenced by shareholders from the larger public Hangzhou Lianluo Interactive Information Technology Co.,Ltd owns 57% of the company 31% of Newegg Commerce is held by insiders AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. A look at the shareholders of Newegg Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEGG) can tell us which group is most powerful. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are private companies with 57% ownership. That is, the group stands to benefit the most if the stock rises (or lose the most if there is a downturn). Private companies gained the most after market cap touched US$101m last week, while insiders who own 31% also benefitted. Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholders can tell us about Newegg Commerce. See our latest analysis for Newegg Commerce Small companies that are not very actively traded often lack institutional investors, but it's less common to see large companies without them. There are many reasons why a company might not have any institutions on the share registry. It may be hard for institutions to buy large amounts of shares, if liquidity (the amount of shares traded each day) is low. If the company has not needed to raise capital, institutions might lack the opportunity to build a position. It is also possible that fund managers don't own the stock because they aren't convinced it will perform well. Newegg Commerce's earnings and revenue track record (below) may not be compelling to institutional investors -- or they simply might not have looked at the business closely. We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Newegg Commerce. Our data shows that Hangzhou Lianluo Interactive Information Technology Co.,Ltd is the largest shareholder with 57% of shares outstanding. With such a huge stake in the ownership, we infer that they have significant control of the future of the company. Meanwhile, the second and third largest shareholders, hold 31% and 0.2%, of the shares outstanding, respectively. Faching Chang, who is the second-largest shareholder, also happens to hold the title of Top Key Executive. 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. Our information suggests that there isn't any analyst coverage of the stock, so it is probably little known. 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. 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. Our information suggests that insiders maintain a significant holding in Newegg Commerce, Inc.. Insiders have a US$31m stake in this US$101m business. We would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business. You can click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling. With a 11% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over Newegg Commerce. 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. We can see that Private Companies own 57%, of the shares on issue. It's hard to draw any conclusions from this fact alone, so its worth looking into who owns those private companies. Sometimes insiders or other related parties have an interest in shares in a public company through a separate private company. 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. Case in point: We've spotted 2 warning signs for Newegg Commerce you should be aware of.

Toyota chairman to face scrutiny over $33 billion deal at shareholder meeting
By Maki Shiraki TOYOTA CITY, Japan (Reuters) -Toyota Motor Chairman Akio Toyoda is likely to face scrutiny over a $33 billion take-private deal of a key supplier when shareholders assemble for the Japanese automaker's annual general meeting on Thursday. This year's gathering, set to kick off at 10:00 a.m. (0100 GMT), marks the first time in three years that Toyoda isn't being opposed by a shareholder proxy adviser. Nevertheless, the grandson of the automaker's founder is likely to face some tough questions about governance - if this week's meeting of supplier Toyota Industries is anything to go by. Shareholders of forklift maker Toyota Industries on Tuesday voiced disapproval of the 4.7 trillion yen ($33 billion) take-private bid from its parent that they said was unfair to minority shareholders. The world's top-selling automaker plans to take its supplier private in a complex, multi-part transaction that includes an offer price of 16,300 yen a share. While the price might be a good deal for Toyota Motor shareholders, critics of the bid, including London-based Zennor Asset Management, have raised concern about the transaction, particularly around the treatment of minority shareholders. "This was not a decision that neglected minority shareholders, but rather one that was taken with all the factors in mind," Toyota Industries' President Koichi Ito told shareholders on Tuesday. Under the deal, a new holding company will be set up. Unlisted real estate company Toyota Fudosan will invest 180 billion yen while Toyoda will invest 1 billion yen. Toyota Motor will invest 700 billion yen for non-voting preferred shares. Tuesday's meeting ran for almost two hours, Toyota Industries' longest ever, the company said. Executives also took some two dozen questions from shareholders, the most ever. Hong Kong-based Oasis Management, which has shares in both Toyota Motor and Toyota Industries, has said it would push for a higher price. Toyota has said the acquisition would allow Toyota Industries to deepen collaboration with group companies, without concerns of short-term profit targets, as Toyota itself becomes a broader "mobility company". This year, prominent proxy advisory firms Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services have both recommended that shareholders re-elect Toyoda. Glass Lewis had recommended voting against him the previous two years and ISS had last year. Toyoda's position at the automaker had come under scrutiny over broader governance concerns. Neither proxy adviser gave specific reasons for the change in their recommendations this year. Toyoda has seen shareholder support slip in recent years. He was re-elected to the board with 72% backing in 2024, in what he later said marked the lowest support rating ever for a Toyota director. That was down from 85% and 96%, respectively, in the prior two years. In a July 2024 interview by Toyota's own news outlet, Toyoda said his seat on the board could be at risk if shareholder support continued to fall. Toyota Industries, formerly Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, was founded in 1926 to make automatic looms. An automotive division within the company was set up and later spun off as Toyota Motor.
