Public holdings mean the percentage of a company’s shares owned by retail investors, or the general public, who are not promoters, foreign institutional investors (FIIs), or domestic institutional investors (DIIs).
The public investors have a small stake, while promoters, FIIs, and DIIs hold most of the stock, suggesting strong confidence from big players, often signaling stability and growth potential, but it may limit stock availability for small investors.
