Smith Nephew Ownership

Smith Nephew plc shows a total of 873.35 Million outstanding shares. Over half of Smith Nephew's outstanding shares are owned by institutional holders. These institutional holders are typically referred to as corporate investors that take positions in a given instrument to benefit from reduced trade commissions. Please note that no matter how many assets the company owns, if the real value of the company 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 pink sheets such as Smith Nephew 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 Smith Nephew, and when they decide to sell, the pink sheet 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.
