Quotient Ownership

30% of Quotient outstanding shares are owned by third-party entities. Institutional investors are typically referred to investors that purchase positions in a given stock to benefit from reduced commissions. Consequently, institutional investors are subject to different rules and regulations than regular investors. Please look out for any change in current institutional holding as this could mean something significant has changed at the company or is about to change. Some institutional investors establish a significant position in stocks such as Quotient 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 Quotient, 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.
