factor.explanation

The concentration of circulating shares is an important indicator to measure the company's equity structure. It reflects the distribution of the company's circulating shares, that is, how many shares are held by minority shareholders. This indicator can help investors evaluate the company's control structure, potential agency risks, and the stability of the company. A higher concentration of shares may mean that the company's decision-making efficiency is higher, but it may also increase the risk of the company being manipulated by major shareholders. A lower concentration of shares may make corporate governance more decentralized, but it may also lead to lower decision-making efficiency. Investors should consider this indicator together with other financial indicators to fully evaluate the company's investment value.
