What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About China Oilfield Services?
Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.
As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in China Oilfield Services. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. 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 China Oilfield Services' earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.
SEHK:2883 Earnings and Revenue Growth August 16th 2022
China Oilfield Services is not owned by hedge funds. China National Offshore Oil Corporation is currently the largest shareholder, with 51% of shares outstanding. With such a huge stake in the ownership, we infer that they have significant control of the future of the company. Meanwhile, the second and third largest shareholders, hold 2.9% and 2.2%, of the shares outstanding, respectively.
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. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily.
Insider Ownership Of China Oilfield Services
The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.
I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.
Our information suggests that China Oilfield Services Limited insiders own under 1% of the company. But they may have an indirect interest through a corporate structure that we haven't picked up on. Keep in mind that it's a big company, and the insiders own HK$66k worth of shares. The absolute value might be more important than the proportional share. It is good to see board members owning shares, but it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying.
General Public Ownership
With a 22% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over China Oilfield Services. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders.
Private Company Ownership
Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 51%, of the company's shares. It might be worth looking deeper into this. If related parties, such as insiders, have an interest in one of these private companies, that should be disclosed in the annual report. Private companies may also have a strategic interest in the company.

公司内部人的定义可能是主观的,而且在不同的司法管辖区之间确实有所不同。我们的数据反映了个别内部人士,至少捕捉到了董事会成员。公司管理层管理企业,但首席执行官将向董事会负责,即使他或她是董事会成员。
我通常认为内部人持股是一件好事。然而,在某些情况下,这会让其他股东更难让董事会对决策负责。
我们的信息显示,中海油田服务有限公司内部人士持有该公司不到1%的股份。但他们可能通过一种我们没有注意到的公司结构拥有间接利益。请记住,这是一家大公司,内部人士持有价值6.6万港元的股票。绝对值可能比比例份额更重要。看到董事会成员持有股票是件好事,但可能值得检查一下这些内部人士是否一直在买入。
