What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About nLIGHT?

关于nLight,机构所有权告诉我们什么?

Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing.

机构在向自己的投资者报告时通常会根据基准来衡量自己,因此,一旦股票被纳入主要指数,他们通常会对股票更加热情。我们预计大多数公司都会有一些机构在册,尤其是在它们正在成长的情况下。

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

The Vanguard Group, Inc. is currently the largest shareholder, with 11% of shares outstanding.

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.
