What is Inst %?
The percentage of shares owned by institutional investors like mutual funds, pension funds, and hedge funds.
Think of it like this
Like knowing what percentage of a restaurant's tables are reserved for regular, professional diners.
Formula
Institutional % = Institutional Shares ÷ Total Shares × 100- Institutional Shares: Shares held by funds, banks, etc.
- Total Shares: Total shares outstanding
Why it matters
- Shows professional investor interest
- High ownership = quality validation
- Can reduce volatility
- 13F filings reveal specific holders
