These third-party entities are usually referred to as non-private investors looking to shop for positions in Netflix to benefit from reduced commissions. Consequently, institutional holders are subject to a different set of regulations than regular investors in Netflix. Please pay attention to any change in the institutional holdings of Netflix as this could imply that something significant has changed or is about to change at the company. Please note that no matter how many assets the company has, if the real value of the firm is less than the current market value, you may not be able to make money on it. Some institutional investors establish a significant position in stocks such as Netflix in order to find ways to drive up its value. Retail investors, on the other hand, need to know that institutional holders can own millions of shares of Netflix, and when they decide to sell, the stock will often sell-off, which may instantly impact shareholders' value. So, traders who get in early or near the beginning of the institutional investor's buying cycle could potentially generate profits.
