We analyze two important issues in this paper. The first issue is what factors affect the institutional holdings during the SEO periods. We find that if the firm had stock splits, increase in debt ratio, decrease in ROA, insider net sales or asset impairment before SEO, institutional owners would the less prefer these SEOs. It implies that they do not prefer those events. Under the regression analysis, after control other firm characteristics, we find that the institutional ownership would not prefer the increase in Debt ratio, insider net sales, asset impairment. The second issue, we test is if the level of institutional ownership changes affects the company long-term performance. Empirically, we find the degree of institutional ownership changes has significantly positive impact on SEO firms’ long-term performance. In addition, under the less preferred events, the increase in institutional ownership would have significant positive effect on SEO firms’ long-term performance. It implies that institutional owners have other positive information about the SEO firms and the firms have better performance in the long term.
