Concentrated Control in All Companies
Having shown the persistence into the present of these very large interests, it will now be demonstrated that virtually all companies--large, medium and small--are ultimately controlled and/or mainly owned by a few large interests manifested mainly as families.
One could show this by direct citation of the SEC reports, which would necessitate literally thousands of references. But these SEC reports are utilized by investment analysis services in reporting to their pecuniary-minded readers. These services summarize the SEC reports of large holdings. We may therefore refer to a highly reliable secondary source which picks lip and summarizes these facts, a source available in major public and university libraries. It is The Value Line Investment Survey, published by Arnold Bernard and Company of New York. This Survey, devoted to analyzing investment properties, keeps a large number of well-known listed companies under a thirteen-week cyclical survey each year. The facts about to be listed were taken
from the summaries of this Survey, which were compiled from the SEC monthly Official Summary.
The contention to which we are addressing ourselves, once again, is this: American companies are widely owned by at least twenty million stockholders, a number that is increasing. While this is true, because anyone owning a single share of stock worth $5 is a stockholder, we have already seen that most people do not own any stock at all. The thesis that stock ownership is widespread and the further thesis that most stock owners hold a great deal of stock is false. Only a very few people own stock in significant quantities. Just how few is shown by the cited University of Michigan studies.
In certain companies, it is true, stock ownership is widespread compared with most companies, and much of the stock is held in small quantities. But the fact that a person holds a small quantity of stock in a company like AT&T--100 to 500 shares--does not prove he is a small stockholder. He may and often does hold stock in many companies.
Although a company like AT&T does indeed have many small stockholders--persons owning 50 to 100 shares and perhaps little or no other stock--the carefully nurtured propaganda even about AT&T is grossly misleading. This propaganda asserts that no individual owns as much as 1 per cent of the stock of AT&T.
Now, if any person owned only 1/2 of 1 per cent of the stock in AT&T he would be enormously wealthy, worth about $160 million, but AT&T has large stockholders whose exact percentage of holdings today would be disclosed only by a government investigation addressing itself to this question. The United Kingdom government, for example, was until recently a very large stockholder in AT&T as well as in other American and European companies. European governments are large stockholders in many American and European companies. Additionally, private investment holding companies and family trust funds are large holders. The stockholdings interest even in AT&T, then, is not so completely generalized as one might conclude upon being informed that no individual owns as much as 1 per cent of its stock.
But if only ten individuals held 1/2 of 1 per cent each, that would be 5 per cent of the stock, worth about $1. 6 billion, and a long step toward working control.
In presenting the following list of dominant interests in a wide variety of companies it should be noticed that the big stockholders are usually characterized as a family or group of officers and directors. This is done to save space; anyone can look up officers and directors in standard reference manuals if he is interested in identities. Scores of companies reported in The Value Line Investment Survey are not listed. In general, those are not listed in which no large interest is reported.
But just because large interests do not trade in a stock and because directors own only a few shares there is no reason to believe that large interests are not in the immediate background. In the General Electric Company, world's largest manufacturer of electrical appliances, directors own only 1 per cent of the stock and the SEC reports do not show any single stockholder or family group holding more than 10 per cent of the stock. Nevertheless, stockholdings in General Electric are quite concentrated.
The TNEC study, for example, as of November 24, 1939, showed that 86. 2 per cent of the stockholders, owning 19. 4 per cent of the stock, held fewer than 100 shares each. But 13. 8 per cent of the stockholders, owning 80. 6 per cent of the stock, held in blocks of more than 100 shares each. 3
Actually, out of 209,732 stockholders at the time, 522, or . 2 per cent of all stockholders, held 33 per cent of outstanding General Electric stock, while 1. 5 per cent of all stockholders held 53 per cent of the stock. 4 At that time in E. I. du Pont de Nemours, known by current SEC data to be still closely held by the du Pont family, 0. 4
per cent of stockholders held 65. 7 per cent of all stock. 5 There is not much difference, then, between a company closely owned and one supposed to be widely owned.
At that same prewar period the TNEC study showed that in AT&T, 0. 02 per cent of stockholders held 7. 8 per cent of the stock, 0. 1 per cent of the stockholders held 15. 3 per cent of stock and 0. 4 per cent of the stockholders held 21. 2 per cent of the stock (these figures being cumulative). 6
In a large company only 5 per cent of the stock, particularly if it is voted by the management, is generally considered to be a long step toward working control, and 15 per cent is said to be well-grounded working control. Only a powerful syndicate contending for the support of medium and small stockholders can hope to challenge the control of a 15-per-cent block in a big company. Naturally, the closer the controlling block approaches 51 per cent of the stock the nearer it is to absolute control. But working control is ordinarily sufficient for running the company and determining its policies.
AT&T in 1965 had 2,674,000 stockholders. If we assume there is now the same distribution of large stockholders its before World War II, then 534 stockholders now vote 7. 8 per cent of the stock, 2,674 vote 15. 3 per cent and 10,679 vote 21. 2 per cent of the stock. Thus is refuted the contention that in this most widely owned of American companies there is no power-center of concentrated ownership. And if these percentages do not now actually prevail, some closely similar set of percentages surely holds and it may well be that relatively fewer stock-holders own larger percentages of the stock now than in 1939.
The management of AT&T, far from representing a generalized wide interest in its stock, in fact acts at the behest of a small group of large stockholders and trust fund managers. The directors themselves hold less than 0. 1 per cent of the stock.
By consulting this same TNEC source anyone can ascertain that in every large American company, no matter bow many individual stockholders it may have, extremely large blocks are held by a handful of people. Indeed, the same statistical presentation of TNEC showed some large companies to be 100 per cent owned by a single shareholding: Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Ford Motor Company and Hearst Consolidated Publications. In the 1930's it was quite common for big public utility operating companies to be 100 per cent owned by a holding company and for entire issues of preferred stock to be owned by a single stockholder.
The TNEC study showed, in fact, that almost always only a fraction of 1 per cent of the stockholders (usually only a small fraction) in all the large companies own huge controlling blocks of stock. 7 Numerous small stockholders collectively usually own only a minor percentage of outstanding stock.
Let me here cite the TNEC percentages for a few companies commonly regarded as widely held. American Can, . 2 per cent of stockholders owned 29. 9 per cent, . 8 per cent owned 45. 2 per cent; Coca-Cola, . 7 per cent owned 66. 1 per cent; Corn Products, . 4 per cent owned 37. 3 per cent; Consolidated Edison, . 2 per cent owned 30. 8 per cent; Eastman Kodak, . 1 per cent owned 16 per cent; General Motors, . 6 per cent owned 65. 5 per cent; Sears, Roebuck, . 2 per cent owned 44. 9 per cent; Texas Corporation, . 3 per cent owned 31. 8 per cent, etc. The pattern rarely varies. And when it does it gives no support to those who argue that stock is widely held. Thus, in Anderson, Clayton & Co. , then and now the largest cotton merchandisers in the world, 10 per cent of stockholders held 73. 6 per cent of common stock; and 26. 7 per cent held 95. 8 per cent. But the 10 per cent consisted of three shareholdings and the 26. 7 per cent of eight shareholdings. , for this was a company with very few stockholders.
The fact that all companies are not cited in what follows, therefore, does not indicate that there are companies without very small groups of large stockholders, All it indicates is that there has been no recent citation of such evidence for some companies in the SEC reports.
This can flatly be. said as a fact: There is no American producing company that is controlled through a representative directorship by or primarily on behalf of a set of stockholders each of which owns or has a beneficial interest in. only an infinitesimal proportion of outstanding shares. "People's capitalism" has this in common with "people's democracy": The rank and file doesn't have much to say, which is what common sense alone would lead one to suppose.
The method of disproving this sweeping statement (what logicians call a universal statement) is extremely easy. All anyone has to do is to point to the exceptional company and the statement is falsified. The company usually pointed to as the exceptional case, AT&T, is clearly not such a case; nor is General Electric. There is no company on the TNEC list, analyzed with a view to disclosing such data, that meets the requirement.
Bearing all this in mind, let us now look at the broad evidence of large interests that has been revealed in recent SEC reports. The dates heading each section of companies are the dates of the separate weekly issues of The Value Line Investment Survey.
The additional companies with recently revealed large controlling owning individuals or groups of stockholders are as follows (instances repeating our findings from the SEC reports have been retained):

Only banks and insurance companies, involving secondary holdings of assets, are listed in the issue of this date, and usually the dominant interests are not shown because there are few changes in key holdings from year to year.
The known dominant interest of the Mellons in the Mellon National Bank or of the Rockefellers in the Chase National Bank is therefore not alluded to. On the basis of either the SEC or TNEC reports there is no direct evidence of such interests, which are known on other grounds such as presence among directors. If a Mellon, Rockefeller, Du Pont or similar personage is on the board of directors of a bank, one has no reason to suppose that he is contributing his widely informed insight to a profit-making institution in which he has no beneficial stake.
In general, among banks and insurance companies there is an even smaller distribution of small holdings than in some of the well-known industrial companies because they are more apt to attract a rarer sophisticated type of investor with a better understanding of these relatively complicated media. Values in the shares of financial companies are leveraged by more subtle factors than are those of most industrial companies and often the true values are concealed. In general, in the mid-1960's, the values of most banks and insurance company stocks were understated in market price while the values of most industrial companies were grossly overstated. These discrepancies correct themselves in time. But a sophisticated investor, buying a stock at 50 which he knows to be worth 100 (and such situations can be pointed to), does not mind if the price does not immediately advance or even if it declines still further. He knows that eventually it must work out at its true value. Meanwhile, he can presumably afford to wait.
But in this issue of The Value Line Investment Survey it is pointed out that the Transamerica Corporation, an investment company, holds an 11 per cent interest in Crocker-Citizens National Bank of California. Transamerica was established by the Giannini interests, which built the Bank of America of California into the biggest commercial bank in the world.
