Effect of High Institutional Ownership on Stock Analysis?

I was curious how you would explain the effects of high institutional investment on a stock (>99%). I read conflicting information online about how due to the institutions quarterly/yearly expected deliverables that you may see large swings in price as pm's add or drop the stock from the portfolio. I also read that due to the large amounts of capital and substantial sink costs (time researching) that institutional turnover is low. I was curious what other people thought and how they would approach this?

Equity Research Full Resume Review

“wilson was an excellent mentor throughout the entire resume review process and i genuinely appreciated the time and effort he put into helping me improve my application. what stood out most was how thorough and attentive he was in understanding my background and making sure my experiences were accurately represented. he went beyond simply editing my resume by asking thoughtful questions and helping me identify ways to better communicate my accomplishments. in particular he helped me articulate the experience of building and selling my own business to a search fund and understand how to position that experience as a differentiator when applying to investment banking and private equity roles. he also provided practical advice on how to approach interviews and communicate my experience effectively. i especially appreciated his patience, responsiveness, and willingness to go back and forth until every detail was right. he was genuinely personable throughout the process and made what could have been a fairly straightforward resume review feel like a much more valuable mentorship experience. i am very grateful for his help and would highly recommend working with him to anyone going through the wso academy program.”
