A wholly-owned subsidiary is a company whose entire ownership is held by another company, called the parent, so the parent controls all shares, board appointments and major decisions. For investors this matters because the subsidiary’s profits, losses, assets and liabilities are treated as part of the parent’s financial picture, affecting valuation and risk exposure — imagine a parent owning a single storefront outright and consolidating its receipts and bills into the parent’s books.
