Equity ownership and disclosure analyst

BlackRock reports a 10.2% passive stake in Artesian Resources.

The filing shows BlackRock, Inc. beneficially owning 961,054 Artesian Resources Class A shares, or 10.2% of the class, with sole voting and sole dispositive power. This crosses the 10% threshold but is reported on a Schedule 13G, which is used for passive ownership.

The disclosure also highlights that iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF alone has more than five percent of the issuer’s outstanding common stock, indicating concentration within a specific fund.

The amendment status (Amendment No. 8) suggests this stake has been monitored over time. Future changes in the reported percentage or a shift to a different reporting form would indicate a change in positioning or intent, but no such change is indicated in this excerpt.
