Ownership
Also called: Promoter shareholding, Promoter stake, Promoter
Promoter holding is the percentage of a company's shares owned by its promoters — the founders, family or parent group that control it. Listed companies disclose it every quarter in their shareholding pattern.
A company has 100 crore shares and its promoter group owns 62 crore of them. Promoter holding is 62%; the remaining 38% is split between FIIs, DIIs and the public.
SEBI's minimum public shareholding rule means promoters of most listed companies can hold at most 75%. A falling promoter stake or a high pledged share are things people check in the quarterly filings.
It is the clearest signal of whether the people running the company have their own money at stake.
High and steady is reassuring. A falling stake is worth investigating, and shares pledged against loans are a known warning sign.
| Below 25% | Founders hold little. Their interests may not match yours. |
|---|---|
| 25% to 50% | A meaningful stake, without outright control. |
| Above 50% | Founders hold a controlling stake in their own company. |
Rough conventions for an ordinary company; sectors differ. A range is not a buy or sell level.

No. Promoter holding describes one aspect of a company, a price or a contract, and it is best read alongside other numbers and the business itself. Jivani Markets is a research and education platform; it does not give buy, sell or hold recommendations.
