Institutional Ownership is one very important way to analyze how a stock will perform in the future. Here's a good article weighing the pros and cons of institutional ownership.
The table below is a summary of the mean, median and true PPS (Price Per Share) the institutions have paid in the current and last quarter. Most institutes hedge their bets both ways to protect the investment. The do so by buying puts and calls for a stock as well, apart from stock ownership.
The table below is summary data with links to individual listing tables below to indicate if new institutes bought in, sold out, averaged down, averaged up etc. This is a critical piece of data to analyze what the money flow is in quarter and past week.
