Promoter holding often acts as a barometer of confidence in a company. When promoters increase their stake, it often reflects their confidence in the company’s future growth and profitability. By investing more of their own money, they send a strong signal of trust in the business and its long-term potential, analysts said.
A higher promoter holding means that the promoters’ wealth is closely tied to the fortunes of shareholders. This alignment of interests reduces the likelihood of mismanagement, since promoters themselves bear greater financial responsibility, analysts added.
Promoters may choose to buy more shares if they believe the stock is undervalued in the market. Such actions can boost investor sentiment, as it implies insiders see more value than what the market currently reflects.
