A look at the shareholders of China Literature Limited (HKG:772) can tell us which group is most powerful.  The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 57% to be precise, is public companies.   In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company.  Individual investors, on the other hand, account for 23% of the company's stockholders.    In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of China Literature.  See our latest analysis for China Literature SEHK:772 Ownership Breakdown October 6th 2025 What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About China Literature? 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.   We can see that China Literature does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock.  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 China Literature's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story. SEHK:772 Earnings and Revenue Growth October 6th 2025  We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in China Literature.      The company's largest shareholder is Tencent Holdings Limited, with ownership of 57%.   This implies that they have majority interest control of the future of the company.        Huayi Cao is the second largest shareholder owning 3.4% of common stock, and Krane Funds Advisors, LLC holds about 2.3% of the company stock.    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.   Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily.  Insider Ownership Of China Literature 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.  Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances.   Our most recent data indicates that insiders own some shares in China Literature Limited.   This is a big company, so it is good to see this level of alignment. Insiders own HK$1.4b worth of shares (at current prices).  It is good to see this level of investment by insiders. You can check here to see if those insiders have been buying recently.   General Public Ownership The general public-- including retail investors -- own 23% stake in the company, and hence can't easily be ignored.   This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders.  Public Company Ownership Public companies currently own 57% of China Literature stock.   We can't be certain but it is quite possible this is a strategic stake. The businesses may be similar, or work together.   Next Steps: I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company.
