What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Skillsoft?
机构所有权告诉了我们关于斯基尔软的什么信息？
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.
机构投资者通常将自己的回报与经常跟踪的指数的回报进行比较。因此，他们通常确实会考虑收购被纳入相关基准指数的较大公司。
We can see that Skillsoft 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 Skillsoft, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too.
我们可以看到，斯基尔软确实有机构投资者；他们持有该公司很大一部分股票。这可以表明该公司在投资界具有一定的公信力。然而，最好警惕依赖机构投资者带来的所谓验证。他们也一样，有时也会犯错。如果两个大型机构投资者试图同时抛售一只股票，股价大幅下跌的情况并不少见。因此，我们有必要看看斯基尔软过去的盈利轨迹(见下图)。当然，请记住，还有其他因素需要考虑。

While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock's expected performance.

Insider Ownership Of Skillsoft
斯基尔软的内部人所有权
While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO.
尽管对内部人的准确定义可能是主观的，但几乎每个人都认为董事会成员是内部人。管理层最终要向董事会负责。然而，经理人担任执行董事会成员并不少见，尤其是如果他们是创始人或首席执行官的话。
Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances.
内部人持股是积极的，当它标志着领导层像公司的真正所有者一样思考时。然而，高内部人持股也可以给公司内部的一个小团体带来巨大的权力。在某些情况下，这可能是负面的。
Shareholders would probably be interested to learn that insiders own shares in Skillsoft Corp.. In their own names, insiders own US$22m worth of stock in the US$288m company. It is good to see some investment by insiders, but it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying.
股东们可能会有兴趣了解到，内部人士持有斯基尔软公司的股票。内部人士以自己的名义持有这家市值2.88亿美元的公司价值2200万美元的股票。看到内部人士进行一些投资是好事，但可能值得检查一下这些内部人士是否一直在买入。
General Public Ownership
一般公有制
The general public-- including retail investors -- own 15% stake in the company, and hence can't easily be ignored. 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.
包括散户投资者在内的普通公众持有该公司15%的股份，因此不能轻易忽视。这种规模的所有权虽然可观，但如果决策与其他大股东不同步，可能不足以改变公司政策。
Public Company Ownership
上市公司所有权
Public companies currently own 37% of Skillsoft stock. This may be a strategic interest and the two companies may have related business interests. It could be that they have de-merged. This holding is probably worth investigating further.
上市公司目前持有Skill soft 37%的股份。这可能是一种战略利益，两家公司可能有相关的商业利益。这可能是因为它们已经解体。这一持股可能值得进一步调查。
