It is not correct in a way! 40% is owned by Mr Kuok and his company Kerry Group! So how could private companies (42%) which is incorrect control Wilmar ??
- WSL 10PCT:
  erm Mr. Kuok using different entity to hold Wilmar including Kuok Group, PPB, Kerry Group etc.
  Kuok Group is private company while PPB is public listed company.

And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are private companies with 42% ownership.  Put another way, the group faces the maximum upside potential (or downside risk).  And public companies on the other hand have a 22% ownership in the company.    In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of Wilmar International.  Check out our latest analysis for Wilmar International SGX:F34 Ownership Breakdown June 18th 2024 What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Wilmar International? 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.   As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Wilmar International.  This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes.  It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Wilmar International, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too. SGX:F34 Earnings and Revenue Growth June 18th 2024  Wilmar International is not owned by hedge funds.      The Kuok Group is currently the company's largest shareholder with 27% of shares outstanding.        Meanwhile, the second and third largest shareholders, hold 22% and 6.9%, of the shares outstanding, respectively.     Khoon Hong Kuok, who is the third-largest shareholder, also happens to hold the title of Chairman of the Board.        After doing some more digging, we found that the top 3 shareholders collectively control more than half of the company's shares, implying that they have considerable power to influence the company's decisions.    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.   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 Wilmar International The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least.  Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.  Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances.   We can report that insiders do own shares in Wilmar International Limited.   It is a very large company, and board members collectively own S$1.3b worth of shares (at current prices).  we sometimes take an interest in  whether they have been buying or selling.   General Public Ownership The general public-- including retail investors -- own 20% stake in the company, and hence can't easily be ignored.   While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies.  Private Company Ownership Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 42%, of the company's shares.   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.   Public Company Ownership It appears to us that public companies own 22% of Wilmar International.   It's hard to say for sure but this suggests they have entwined business interests. This might be a strategic stake, so it's worth watching this space for changes in ownership.

To that end, you should learn about the   3 warning signs  we've spotted with Wilmar International (including 1 which is concerning) .
