Recently, a number of companies have disclosed the latest number of shareholder households through interactive platforms. As one of the ways to observe the concentration of chips in individual stocks, the number of shareholders has always been an indicator that investors pay close attention to.

According to statistics, as of September 17, a total of 458 companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen have disclosed the latest shareholder situation through the interactive platform. Among them, 237 companies had an increase in the number of shareholder households at the end of the month compared with the beginning of the month, accounting for 51.75%. Sixteen of these companies have seen an increase of more than 20 per cent in the number of shareholder households.

In addition, among the cattle shares in the lithium industry chain that collapsed on September 16, the number of shareholders of the two hundred billion leaders Ganfeng Lithium and Tianqi Lithium Industry also increased to varying degrees compared with the beginning of the month. The number of Ganfeng Lithium's latest shareholder households increased by 16.30 per cent from the beginning of the month, while Tianqi Lithium Industry increased by 12.39 per cent.

And Hengfeng tools, aerospace development. Yongqing environmental protection, Shanxi coking coal and other four stocks have become the "four heavenly kings" with an increase of 30% since the beginning of the month.

　　Hengfeng tools topped the list, and its share price hit an all-time high.

Hengfeng has been highly sought after by investors since September, and so far, the number of shareholders has increased to 15259 from 8730 at the beginning of the month, an increase of 6529, ranking first with an increase of 74.79 per cent.

A few days ago, Hengfeng tools rose sharply, setting a record high of 45.9 yuan per share. However, intraday fluctuations are relatively large, as of the close of trading, the share price fell to 39.05 yuan per share, a decline of 9.1%, the rate of decline accelerated.

　　Aerospace Development ranked second, with share prices falling to a new low for the year.

Aerospace Development, which ranked second, the company's latest shareholders were 171742, an increase of 46033, or 36.62 percent, compared with 125709 at the beginning of the month.

However, in contrast, the share price of aerospace development does not seem to be as prosperous as the domestic aerospace industry. A few days ago, the aerospace development market suddenly dived, and the share price fell to 14.48 yuan per share, a drop of 8.59%, setting a new low for the year. It has fallen by nearly 55% from its high of 31.83 yuan at the beginning of the year.

　　Yongqing Environmental Protection and Shanxi Coking Coal are the third and fourth respectively.

In addition, Yongqing Environmental Protection, which ranked third, increased the number of shareholders of the company by 31.51% compared with the beginning of the month, and the number of shareholders of Shanxi coking coal, which ranked fourth, also increased by more than 30% compared with the beginning of the month.

It is worth noting that the share price of Yongqing Environmental Protection Company rose 13.53% on the first trading day of September on the basis of a 19.47% rise in the last trading day in August, but the share price has declined step by step since then. Shanxi coking coal previously set a new high in nearly a decade with a price of 16.71 yuan per share.

However, it should be pointed out that there is no decisive causal relationship between the increase or decrease of the number of shareholders and the rise and fall of stock prices, and the concentration of chips can be seen from the changes in the number of shareholders. however, the stock price will also be affected by the company's performance, relevant policies, industry prospects and many other factors.

Industry insiders said that the substantial increase in the number of shareholders indicates that the chips are scattered, "retail investors" are entering the market, and the probability of a short-term rising market is low. It is suggested that combined with the trend of individual stocks and trading volume, we should pay attention to the stocks with reduced number of shareholders and shrinking trading volume, and avoid the stocks with increased number of shareholders and rising stock prices.
