What Does The Lack Of Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Plenitude Berhad?

We don't tend to see institutional investors holding stock of companies that are very risky, thinly traded, or very small. Though we do sometimes see large companies without institutions on the register, it's not particularly common.

There could be various reasons why no institutions own shares in a company. Typically, small, newly listed companies don't attract much attention from fund managers, because it would not be possible for large fund managers to build a meaningful position in the company. It is also possible that fund managers don't own the stock because they aren't convinced it will perform well. Plenitude Berhad might not have the sort of past performance institutions are looking for, or perhaps they simply have not studied the business closely.
