While it is well worth considering the different groups that own a company, there are other factors that are even more important. But other times, private equity is selling out, having taking the company public. Some might like this, because private equity are sometimes activists who hold management accountable. With a stake of 5.3%, private equity firms could influence the LiveXLive Media board. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run. The general public holds a 27% stake in LiveXLive Media. It might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying recently.

It is great to see insiders so invested in the business. Insiders own US$43m worth of shares in the US$176m company. Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of LiveXLive Media, Inc. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions. I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least.

The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily. 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. We also observed that the top 6 shareholders account for more than half of the share register, with a few smaller shareholders to balance the interests of the larger ones to a certain extent.
