principal shareholder(stockholder) 主要股东
The main owner of a publicly traded investment,also known as the majority shareholder.The principal shareholder is the entity that owns the greatest percentage of a company’s shares and therefore has the largest stake in the company’s success.Smaller investors often look to the behavior of the principal shareholder as an indication of the company’s performance.If the principal shareholder makes a large additional investment in the company,for example,this is probably an indication that the company is performing well.
