Insider Ownership

Insiders form another group of important ownership types as they manage the company’s operations and decide the best use of capital. Insider ownership has been linked to better alignment between management and shareholders. Although individuals in NNX hold only a minor stake, it’s a good sign for shareholders as the company’s executives and directors have their incentives directly linked to the company’s performance. I will also like to check what insiders have been doing recently with their holdings. Insider buying may be a sign of upbeat future expectations, however, selling doesn’t necessarily mean the opposite as insiders may be motivated by their personal financial needs.

General Public Ownership

A big stake of 22.63% in NNX is held by the general public. This size of ownership gives retail investors collective power in deciding on major policy decisions such as executive compensation, appointment of directors and acquisitions of businesses. This level of ownership gives retail investors the power to sway key policy decisions such as board composition, executive compensation, and potential acquisitions. This is a positive sign for an investor who wants to be involved in key decision-making of the company.

Private Company Ownership

Another group of owners that a potential investor in NNX should consider are private companies, with a stake of 62.82%. While they invest more often due to strategic interests, an investment can also be driven by capital gains through share price appreciation. An ownership of this size indicates a strong financial backing and has the potential to influence NNX’s business strategy. Thus, investors should dig deeper into NNX’s business relations with these companies and how it can affect shareholder returns in the long-term.

Next Steps:

A relatively low shareholding by company insider could indicate potential misalignment of interest. However, on the other hand, this could also be a positive as the level of influence over the board of directors can also be limited. However, ownership structure should not be the only determining factor when you’re building an investment thesis for NNX. Rather, you should be looking at fundamental drivers such as the intrinsic valuation, which is a key driver of Nickel North Exploration’s share price.
