What is Promoter Holding?
Promoter holding is the percentage of a company's shares held by its founders, promoter group, or controlling family — a unique and critical metric in Indian markets.
Formula
Promoter Holding (%) = Promoter Shares ÷ Total Shares Outstanding × 100
How to Interpret
High promoter holding (>50%) signals conviction and alignment with shareholders. Falling promoter holding may indicate pledge liquidation or confidence loss.
Typical Ranges
50-75% is ideal. Below 30% may signal weak promoter commitment. Above 90% may limit liquidity.
