The Institutional Investors' Grip on Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Berkshire Hathaway's stock price may be vulnerable to institutional investors' trading decisions, given their large stake of 58% in the company. The top 24 shareholders hold a combined ownership of 50%, implying no single shareholder has a majority. Despite being rewarded with a 22% one-year return and last week's gain, institutions still pose a risk due to their collective power.
- This concentration of institutional ownership highlights the tension between individual investor interests and the broader market sentiment, potentially creating opportunities for value investors who can navigate this landscape effectively.
- What would be the implications for Berkshire Hathaway's long-term performance if institutional investors were to collectively decide to sell off their shares en masse?
