Check out our latest analysis for Cloudpoint Technology Berhad
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.
Less than 5% of Cloudpoint Technology Berhad is held by institutional investors. This suggests that some funds have the company in their sights, but many have not yet bought shares in it. If the company is growing earnings, that may indicate that it is just beginning to catch the attention of these deep-pocketed investors. We sometimes see a rising share price when a few big institutions want to buy a certain stock at the same time. The history of earnings and revenue, which you can see below, could be helpful in considering if more institutional investors will want the stock. Of course, there are plenty of other factors to consider, too.
Hedge funds don't have many shares in Cloudpoint Technology Berhad. Our data shows that Era Jasakita Sdn Bhd is the largest shareholder with 41% of shares outstanding. The second and third largest shareholders are Wai Hoong Choong and Choong Cheong Yew, with an equal amount of shares to their name at 8.1%. Note that the second and third-largest shareholders are also Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors, respectively, meaning that the company's top shareholders are insiders.
To make our study more interesting, we found that the top 3 shareholders have a majority ownership in the company, meaning that they are powerful enough to influence the decisions of the company.
Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. Our information suggests that there isn't any analyst coverage of the stock, so it is probably little known.
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.
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.
It seems insiders own a significant proportion of Cloudpoint Technology Berhad. Insiders have a RM92m stake in this RM502m business. We would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business. You can click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling.
The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 37% stake in Cloudpoint Technology Berhad. 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.
We can see that Private Companies own 41%, of the shares on issue. Private companies may be related parties. Sometimes insiders have an interest in a public company through a holding in a private company, rather than in their own capacity as an individual. While it's hard to draw any broad stroke conclusions, it is worth noting as an area for further research.
While it is well worth considering the different groups that own a company, there are other factors that are even more important. Be aware that Cloudpoint Technology Berhad is showing 1 warning sign in our investment analysis , you should know about…

A mum-of-five with a £62k household income has resorted to using Klarna to afford her food shop – due to the cost-of-living crisis. Laura Caine, 40, struggles to cover her family's monthly outgoings using her £1k-a-month universal credit payment and her husband Martin's £50k games programmer salary. The couple have five children – aged 18 to nine – and say feeding the brood three meals a day gets expensive so they have had to use the buy-now-pay-later service. In recent months Laura says she had to use Klarna to afford groceries as she "can't afford" to pay for a big shop upfront.

STORY: Airbus delivered more jets over the first half of the year, but it's battling mounting headwinds. Industry sources estimate the aerospace giant handed over about 323 new aircraft. That would be up about 2% on last year, with official figures expected next week. But the sources estimate deliveries fell short of targets in June. That would tally with a warning from Airbus last week that it was cutting its goals for the year. It now aims to deliver 770 jets, instead of the 800 initially planned. The firm cited a shortage of engines, structural parts and interiors. As a result it put back plans to raise output of its best-selling A320neo family of jets. It still expects to hit a record rate of 75 per month, but not until 2027 – a year later than expected. Right now it makes 50 per month. There was no comment on the latest reports from Airbus. But some analysts are already cutting their forecasts for its output next year.
