TASE:NVPT Ownership Breakdown August 17th 2025 What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Navitas Petroleum Limited Partnership?

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 Navitas Petroleum Limited Partnership. 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. When multiple institutions own a stock, there’s always a risk that they are in a ‘crowded trade’. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Navitas Petroleum Limited Partnership’s historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there’s always more to the story.

TASE:NVPT Earnings and Revenue Growth August 17th 2025

Our data indicates that hedge funds own 6.1% of Navitas Petroleum Limited Partnership.

Tadmor is currently the company’s largest shareholder with 11% of shares outstanding. Meanwhile, the second and third largest shareholders, hold 6.9% and 6.3%, of the shares outstanding, respectively. In addition, we found that Amit Kornhauser, the CEO has 0.8% of the shares allocated to their name.

Insider Ownership Of Navitas Petroleum Limited Partnership

The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. 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.

It has a market capitalization of just ₪11b, and insiders have ₪1.7b worth of shares in their own names. That’s quite significant. It is good to see this level of investment.
