Institutional Ownership
In DBC’s case, institutional ownership stands at 11.79%, significant enough to cause considerable price moves in the case of large institutional transactions, especially when there is a low level of public shares available on the market to trade. However, as not all institutions are alike, such high volatility events, especially in the short-term, have been more frequently linked to active market participants like hedge funds. For DBC shareholders, the potential of this type of share price volatility shouldn’t be as concerning as hedge fund ownership is is not significant,indicating few chances of such sudden price moves. While that hardly seems concerning, I will explore further into DBC’s ownership type to find out how it can affect the company’s investment profile.
General Public Ownership
The general public, with 6.81% stake, is also an important group of shareholders in DBC. This size of ownership, while considerably large for a public company, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders.
Public Company Ownership
Potential investors in DBC should also look at another important group of investors: other public companies, with a stake of 81.40%, who are primarily invested because of strategic and capital gain interests. With this size of ownership in DBC, this ownership class can affect the company’s business strategy. As a result, potential investors should further explore the company’s business relations with these companies and find out if they can affect shareholder returns in the long-term.
