What should be minimum promoter holding?
Why profitable companies do not pay taxes.
Promoter holding don’t matters the profit what a share making. Many other stocks with low/ no promoters holding give decent returns
If promoter have been selling shares it means they are not confident about their business which is not a good sign. I guess around 60 to 70% is optimum. Very high promoter holding means very low free shares or float in the market so will be high in demand so prices may be unreasonably high (ex: dmart).
You are right if you look for long term perspective if the fundamental of the stock is good.
But not always , see banking stocks like icici promoter holding is nearly zero. But the stock had give decent returns over the time.
And see NHPC govt as a promoter holds 75 % share but this stock never touched its IPO price after listing.
