Some institutional investors establish a significant position in stocks such as Alphabet in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of Alphabet, and when they decide to sell, the stock will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value. So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits.
The Alphabet's current Dividend Paid And Capex Coverage Ratio is estimated to increase to 3.65. The Alphabet's current Common Stock Shares Outstanding is estimated to increase to about 13.5 B, while Net Income Applicable To Common Shares is projected to decrease to roughly 38.9 B.
Please note, institutional investors have a lot of resources and new technology at their disposal. They can put in a lot of research and financial analysis when reviewing investment options.

Alphabet Insider Trades History

Less than 1% of Alphabet Inc Class C are currently held by insiders. Unlike Alphabet's institutional investors, corporate insiders most likely have a limit on the maximum percentage of share ownership.

The good rule to have in mind is that the maximum share ownership percentage of the corporate insiders should not surpass 25%. View all of Alphabet's insider trades

The market value of Alphabet Class C is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Alphabet that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Alphabet's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Alphabet's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Alphabet's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Alphabet's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Alphabet's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Alphabet is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Alphabet's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
