What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Rising Nonferrous Metals ShareLtd?

This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. 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 Rising Nonferrous Metals ShareLtd's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.
