Stocks with a large percentage of Institutional Investors

I was watching the news on tv and they listed the major shareholders of Tesla.
They were all institutional, no surprise there.

I searched Morningstar and it suggests that Tesla has not less than 32M shares held by institutions with 120M shares outstanding. That amounts to approximately 27% of their shares. That seems like a high percentage. Is there an average to gauge whether or not this is high or low against other stocks?

I don't think that Friday's drop will be permanent. I think it will bounce back. But I do think that we are in for a serious correction. And we are reaching the end of the year when investors sell their losses for tax reasons and sell to avoid any additional losses from a downturn. And the election is not providing stability either.

Institutional investors seem to run in packs. They follow each other. If one starts selling off, others are more likely to follow.

How can I find the list of stocks that have the largest percentage of institutional ownership? It seems that they would be the ones that would be more likely to suffer sudden losses if a correction occurs, because they would start bailing out all at one time. Is my logic correct ?

I searched several different ways on the net, but I didn't find anything. I am not going to look up all S and P 500 stocks. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

for an accurate read you will need to know how much of the reported institutional ownership is simply held by index funds. Vanguard is usually one of the largest owners of any S&P 500 stock.
 
True, but is there a source that monitors the percentage of shares owned by institutions/mutual funds ?

HMMM.....if I can't find it , maybe I should start a newsletter and do it myself ....:)

Theirs an example of TSLA breakdown of institutional holdings.

The values you have though don't line up with Nasdaqs. Their saying 140m outstanding and 67% institutional holdings.
More...

Yes, I saw that.
Previously, I just added up all the institutional investors that I found on a site.
I guess they just listed the major ones.

But.....what is more likely in a declining market...... are institutional investors more likely to stick with their investments or are individuals more likely to become skiddish and sell?

Are stocks that are heavily invested by institutions more likely to remain stable and do well in a declining market because they 'know more' or are they more likely to be unstable because when they get dumped it's done in percentages of .5%, 1% etc.....instead of 50 and 100 share lots ?

I was just wondering if there was any research available on which stocks do better....those that are heavily invested by institutions or those that are not.
