It would appear that 15% of Jackson Acquisition Company II shares are controlled by hedge funds. That catches my attention because hedge funds sometimes try to influence management, or bring about changes that will create near term value for shareholders. Our data shows that RJ Healthcare SPAC II, LLC is the largest shareholder with 18% of shares outstanding. Polar Asset Management Partners Inc. is the second largest shareholder owning 5.2% of common stock, and HGC Investment Management Inc. holds about 5.1% of the company stock.
Our studies suggest that the top 16 shareholders collectively control less than half of the company’s shares, meaning that the company’s shares are widely disseminated and there is no dominant shareholder.
While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock’s expected performance. As far as we can tell there isn’t analyst coverage of the company, so it is probably flying under the radar.
The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
Our information suggests that Jackson Acquisition Company II insiders own under 1% of the company. However, it’s possible that insiders might have an indirect interest through a more complex structure. It has a market capitalization of just US$302m, and the board has only US$2.0m worth of shares in their own names. We generally like to see a board more invested. However it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying.
The general public — including retail investors — own 60% of Jackson Acquisition Company II. This size of ownership gives investors from the general public some collective power. They can and probably do influence decisions on executive compensation, dividend policies and proposed business acquisitions.
It seems that Private Companies own 18%, of the Jackson Acquisition Company II stock. It might be worth looking deeper into this. If related parties, such as insiders, have an interest in one of these private companies, that should be disclosed in the annual report. Private companies may also have a strategic interest in the company.
