controlling interests
Majority ownership shares
Controlling interests are ownership stakes large enough to direct a company's decisions—typically more than 50% of voting shares, though sometimes less if remaining shares are dispersed among passive holders.
The holder of a controlling interest can elect board members, set strategy, and approve major transactions.
