Abstract: We study the nonabelian composition factors of a finite group $G$ assumed to admit an $operatornameAut(G)$-orbit of length at least $ho|G|$, for a given $hoinleft(0,1ight]$. Our main results are the following: The orders of the nonabelian composition factors of $G$ are then bounded in terms of $ho$, and if $ho>frac1819$, then $G$ is solvable. On the other hand, for each nonabelian finite simple group $S$, there is a constant $c(S)inleft(0,1ight]$ such that $S$ occurs with arbitrarily large multiplicity as a composition factor in some finite group $G$ having an $operatornameAut(G)$-orbit of length at least $c(S)|G|$.
