What does the property tell us about Clarus?

In general, institutions measure against a benchmark when communicating with their own investors. As a result, they often become more enthusiastic about an action once it is included in a major index. We expected most companies to have registered institutions, especially if they are growing.

Clarus already has institutions on the stock register. In fact, they own 56% of the company. This suggests some credibility among professional investors. But we can not rely solely on this fact, because institutions sometimes make bad investments, like everyone else. If multiple institutions change their views on a stock at the same time, the price of the stock may fall quickly. Therefore, Clarus' historical results, below, should be consulted. Of course, the future is what really matters.

Institutional investors own more than 50% of the company. Together, they can probably strongly influence the decisions of the board of directors. It seems that hedge funds hold 7.0% of Clarus shares. It is worth emphasizing, because hedge funds are often very active investors, who can try to influence management. Many want to see value creation (and a higher price of action) in the short or medium term. There are many badysts who cover the stock, so it is interesting to see what they expect as well.

Clarus Insider's Property

The definition of company insiders can be subjective and varies from one jurisdiction to the other. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing at least board members. The management of the company runs the company, but the CEO will report to the board, even if he is a member.

I generally consider that property by an insider is a good thing. However, it is sometimes difficult for other shareholders to hold the board of directors accountable.

Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of Clarus Corporation. Insiders own shares worth 62 million US dollars in the company worth 381 million US dollars This may suggest that the founders still own a lot of shares.

Property of the general public

Capital investment

With a 6.8% stake, private equity firms are able to play a role in shaping the value creation business strategy. We sometimes see private investment over the long term, but generally have a shorter investment horizon and, as the name indicates, do not invest much in public companies. After a while, they may seek to sell and redeploy capital elsewhere.
