Universal Music Group N.V. (AMS:UMG) institutional owners may be pleased with recent gains after 4.8% loss over the past year
Significantly high institutional ownership implies Universal Music Group's stock price is sensitive to their trading actions The top 4 shareholders own 54% of the company 18% of Universal Music Group is held by insiders We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Every investor in Universal Music Group N.V. (AMS:UMG) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups. The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 26% to be precise, is institutions. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk). Institutional investors would appreciate the 4.1% increase in share price last week, given their one-year losses have totalled a disappointing 4.8%. Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholders can tell us about Universal Music Group. Check out our latest analysis for Universal Music Group Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Universal Music Group. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. 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 Universal Music Group's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters. Universal Music Group is not owned by hedge funds. The company's largest shareholder is Vincent Bollore, with ownership of 18%. Vivendi SE is the second largest shareholder owning 15% of common stock, and Tencent Holdings Limited holds about 11% of the company stock. Our research also brought to light the fact that roughly 54% of the company is controlled by the top 4 shareholders suggesting that these owners wield significant influence on the business. While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock's expected performance. There are plenty of analysts covering the stock, so it might be worth seeing what they are forecasting, too. The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. 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. 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 most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of Universal Music Group N.V.. Insiders own €8.6b worth of shares in the €47b company. That's quite meaningful. Most would be pleased to see the board is investing alongside them. You may wish to access this free chart showing recent trading by insiders. The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 14% stake in Universal Music Group. 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. Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 9.9%, of the company's shares. It might be worth looking deeper into this. If related parties, such as insiders, have an interest in one of these private companies, that should be disclosed in the annual report. Private companies may also have a strategic interest in the company. We can see that public companies hold 26% of the Universal Music Group shares on issue. This may be a strategic interest and the two companies may have related business interests. It could be that they have de-merged. This holding is probably worth investigating further. 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. Take risks for example - Universal Music Group has 2 warning signs (and 1 which is significant) we think you should know about. Ultimately the future is most important.
