minority stake
Less than half
A minority stake is an ownership share in a company that's less than 50 percent, meaning the holder doesn't have controlling interest.
Investors take minority stakes to profit from a company's growth without assuming full control or responsibility: The tech giant acquired a minority stake in the startup.
