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. Every investor in First Pacific Company Limited (HKG:142) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups.  The group holding the most number of shares in the company, around 36% to be precise, is individual investors.  Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk).  While individual investors were the group that benefitted the most from last week’s HK$1.0b market cap gain, insiders too had a 27% share in those profits.      Let's delve deeper into each type of owner of First Pacific, beginning with the chart below.  See our latest analysis for First Pacific SEHK:142 Ownership Breakdown February 5th 2026 What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About First Pacific? Institutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.   First Pacific already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company.  This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does.  When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see First Pacific's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story. SEHK:142 Earnings and Revenue Growth February 5th 2026  Hedge funds don't have many shares in First Pacific.      Looking at our data, we can see that the largest shareholder is Anthoni Salim with 27% of shares outstanding.       In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 19% and 8.0% of the stock.     A more detailed study of the shareholder registry showed us that 3 of the top shareholders have a considerable amount of ownership in the company, via their 53% stake.    While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock's expected performance.   There are a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future.  Insider Ownership Of First Pacific While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders.  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.   Our information suggests that insiders maintain a significant holding in First Pacific Company Limited.   Insiders own HK$7.4b worth of shares in the HK$27b company. That's quite meaningful.  Most would be pleased to see the board is investing alongside them. You may wish to access this free chart showing recent trading by insiders.  General Public Ownership The general public-- including retail investors -- own 36% stake in the company, and hence can't easily be ignored.   While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run.   Private Company Ownership It seems that Private Companies own 19%, of the First Pacific stock.   It's hard to draw any conclusions from this fact alone, so its worth looking into who owns those private companies. Sometimes insiders or other related parties have an interest in shares in a public company through a separate private company.   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.    Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk.   We've identified 2 warning signs  with First Pacific (at least 1 which shouldn't be ignored)  , and understanding them should be part of your investment process.
