Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices.

As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Power Root Berhad. 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. 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 Power Root Berhad’s earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.

Power Root Berhad is not owned by hedge funds. Our data suggests that Say How, who is also the company’s Top Key Executive, holds the most number of shares at 20%. When an insider holds a sizeable amount of a company’s stock, investors consider it as a positive sign because it suggests that insiders are willing to have their wealth tied up in the future of the company. Meanwhile, the second and third largest shareholders, hold 20% and 12%, of the shares outstanding, respectively. Interestingly, the second and third-largest shareholders also happen to be the Top Key Executive and Member of the Board of Directors, respectively. This once again signifies considerable insider ownership amongst the company’s top shareholders.

A more detailed study of the shareholder registry showed us that 3 of the top shareholders have a considerable amount of ownership in the company, via their 53% stake.

Moncler (BIT:MONC) has seen a series of negative returns recently, with the share price around €49.62 and declines over the past week, month, past 3 months, year to date, and past year.

Moncler’s recent share price weakness, including a 30 day share price return of 11.27% and a 1 year total shareholder return decline of 17.25%, points to fading momentum compared with its longer term 5 year total shareholder return of 15.42%.

If Moncler’s pullback has you reassessing your options, this could be a good moment to look at other luxury and consumer names through fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With the share price under pressure, annual revenue of €3.1b and net income of €612.3m, plus a recent analyst price target above today’s level, are you looking at an undervalued luxury icon or a stock already pricing in future growth?

With Moncler’s most followed narrative pointing to a fair value of about €58.81 versus a last close of €49.62, the story assumes the market is underpricing its earnings power over time.

The Group’s shift toward seasonless product assortments (for example, ramping up summer and transitional wear via Moncler Collection and Grenoble) reduces reliance on winter outerwear and targets growing year-round demand, expanding the addressable market and supporting a more balanced, resilient revenue base.
