Trump has pledged to “unleash” American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.<\/a><\/p>\n If you want to know who really controls E.ON SE (ETR:EOAN<\/a>), then you’ll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 43% to be precise, is institutions. Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk).<\/p>\n Because institutional owners have a huge pool of resources and liquidity, their investing decisions tend to carry a great deal of weight, especially with individual investors. Therefore, a good portion of institutional money invested in the company is usually a huge vote of confidence on its future.<\/p>\n In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of E.ON.<\/p>\n Check out our latest analysis for E.ON <\/a><\/p>\n Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices.<\/p>\n E.ON already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. 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 E.ON’s earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.<\/p>\n We note that hedge funds don’t have a meaningful investment in E.ON. The company’s largest shareholder is RWE Aktiengesellschaft, with ownership of 15%. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 6.1% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 3.7% by the third-largest shareholder.<\/p>\n A closer look at our ownership figures suggests that the top 20 shareholders have a combined ownership of 50% implying that no single shareholder has a majority.<\/p>\n 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. There are plenty of analysts covering the stock, so it might be worth seeing what they are forecasting, too.<\/p>\n Story Continues <\/p>\n Insider Ownership Of E.ON <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.<\/p>\n We note our data does not show any board members holding shares, personally. It is unusual not to have at least some personal holdings by board members, so our data might be flawed. A good next step would be to check how much the CEO is paid. <\/a><\/p>\n General Public Ownership <\/p>\n The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 39% stake in E.ON. While this group can’t necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run.<\/p>\n Public Company Ownership <\/p>\n Public companies currently own 15% of E.ON stock. We can’t be certain but it is quite possible this is a strategic stake. The businesses may be similar, or work together.<\/p>\n Next Steps: <\/p>\n I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Be aware that E.ON is showing 2 warning signs in our investment analysis <\/a>, and 1 of those makes us a bit uncomfortable…<\/p>\n If you would prefer discover what analysts are predicting in terms of future growth, do not miss this free report on analyst forecasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n NB: Figures in this article are calculated using data from the last twelve months, which refer to the 12-month period ending on the last date of the month the financial statement is dated.
