The number of institutional holdings indicator measures the market's institutional recognition of a stock by counting the number of institutional investors holding a specific stock. Institutional investors usually have stronger research capabilities and financial strength, and their holdings often represent more professional and rational investment judgments. A higher number of institutional holdings may mean that institutional investors have optimistic expectations for the future performance of the stock, thereby supporting the stock price. This indicator can reflect market sentiment and the preferences of institutional investors to a certain extent, and can serve as an important reference for stock selection and risk management. It should be noted that this indicator itself does not constitute investment advice, and should be combined with other fundamental and technical indicators for comprehensive analysis.
