To get a sense of who is truly in control of TD Power Systems Limited (NSE:TDPOWERSYS), it is important to understand the ownership structure of the business. With 40% stake, institutions possess the maximum shares in the company. That is, the group stands to benefit the most if the stock rises (or lose the most if there is a downturn).

No shareholder likes losing money on their investments, especially institutional investors who saw their holdings drop 10% in value last week. However, the 60% one-year return to shareholders might have softened the blow. But they would probably be wary of future losses.

What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About TD Power Systems?

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.

We can see that TD Power Systems does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of TD Power Systems, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too.

TD Power Systems is not owned by hedge funds. Saphire Finman Services Private Limited is currently the largest shareholder, with 13% of shares outstanding. With 8.3% and 6.6% of the shares outstanding respectively, Nikhil Kumar and Nippon Life India Asset Management Limited are the second and third largest shareholders. Nikhil Kumar, who is the second-largest shareholder, also happens to hold the title of Chief Executive Officer.

We also observed that the top 10 shareholders account for more than half of the share register, with a few smaller shareholders to balance the interests of the larger ones to a certain extent.

While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing. We're not picking up on any analyst coverage of the stock at the moment, so the company is unlikely to be widely held.
