JPMorgan reports holding 1,122,977 shares of AutoZone (6.8%) as of 03/31/2026. The Schedule 13G format and the involvement of multiple asset-management and trust subsidiaries suggest an investment-management or custodial role rather than an activist intent.

Schedule 13G regulatory

"Item 1. (a) | Name of issuer: AUTOZONE INC ..."

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.

Beneficially owned financial

"Item 4. | Ownership (a) | Amount beneficially owned: 1,122,977"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

Sole dispositive power regulatory

"(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 1,120,024"

Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.

Shared voting power regulatory

"(ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 11,014"

Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.
