These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. To get a sense of who is truly in control of PCCW Limited (HKG:8), it is important to understand the ownership structure of the business.  The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 41% to be precise, is individual investors.   In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company.  Meanwhile, public companies make up 41% of the company’s shareholders.    Let's take a closer look to see what the different types of shareholders can tell us about PCCW.  Check out our latest analysis for PCCW SEHK:8 Ownership Breakdown November 7th 2025 What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About PCCW? 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.   PCCW 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 PCCW's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters. SEHK:8 Earnings and Revenue Growth November 7th 2025  PCCW is not owned by hedge funds.      Our data shows that Pacific Century Regional Developments Limited is the largest shareholder with 23% of shares outstanding.       In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 18% and 6.9% of the stock.     Tzar Kai Li, who is the third-largest shareholder, also happens to hold the title of Chairman of the Board.      To make our study more interesting, we found that the top 4 shareholders control more than half of the company which implies that this group has considerable sway over the company's decision-making.     While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing.   There is a little analyst coverage of the stock, but not much. So there is room for it to gain more coverage.  Insider Ownership Of PCCW The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least.  Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO.  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.   Shareholders would probably be interested to learn that insiders own shares in PCCW Limited.   The insiders have a meaningful stake worth HK$3.1b. Most would see this as a real positive.  If you would like to explore the question of insider alignment, you can  click here to see if insiders have been buying or selling.   General Public Ownership The general public-- including retail investors -- own 41% 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 We can see that public companies hold 41% of the PCCW shares on issue.  This may be a strategic interest and the two companies may have related business interests. It could be that they have de-merged. This holding is probably worth investigating further.   Next Steps: 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  PCCW is showing  2 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 1 of those is concerning...
