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.
Since institutions own only a small portion of Jiangsu Teeyer Intelligent EquipmentLtd, 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. So if the company itself can improve over time, we may well see more institutional buyers in the future. It is not uncommon to see a big share price rise if multiple institutional investors are trying to buy into a stock at the same time. So check out the historic earnings trajectory, below, but keep in mind it's the future that counts most.
We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Jiangsu Teeyer Intelligent EquipmentLtd. With a 61% stake, CEO Yizhong Wu is the largest shareholder. This implies that they possess majority interests and have significant control over the company. Investors usually consider it a good sign when the company leadership has such a significant stake, as this is widely perceived to increase the chance that the management will act in the best interests of the company. Changzhou Jiexiang Industrial Investment Partnership Enterprise (Limited Partnership) is the second largest shareholder owning 5.6% of common stock, and Qinghua He holds about 4.0% of the company stock. Interestingly, the third-largest shareholder, Qinghua He is also a Member of the Board of Directors, again, indicating strong insider ownership amongst the company's top shareholders.

As far as we can tell there isn't analyst coverage of the company, so it is probably flying under the radar.
