Insights

Institutional Ownership Analyst

Large institutional stake disclosed; holdings under 5% threshold.

Capital Research Global Investors reports beneficial ownership of 4,696,916 shares, representing 4.2% of the outstanding common stock as of 03/31/2026. The disclosure consolidates holdings across several investment management entities under the CRGI name.

Filing shows sole voting and sole dispositive power for the reported shares. This is a routine 13G/A disclosure of a passive institutional stake; further activity would appear in subsequent filings if the ownership or intent changes.

Corporate Governance Specialist

Passive ownership near but below the 5% reporting threshold that can trigger different obligations.

The amendment clarifies the organizational structure: CRGI is a division of Capital Research and Management Company and aggregates related investment management affiliates when reporting holdings. The filing repeats the firm’s consolidated beneficial ownership and power breakdowns.

Because the position is 4.2%, it remains classified here as ownership of 5 percent or less; any material change above that level would alter filing obligations.

3 terms

Schedule 13G/A regulatory

"Capital Research Global Investors filed an amendment reporting beneficial ownership"

A Schedule 13G/A is an amended public filing with the U.S. securities regulator that updates a previous Schedule 13G, disclosing when an individual or group holds a substantial (typically over 5%) stake in a company and is claiming a passive, non‑controlling intent. Investors monitor these updates because rising or falling holdings can signal changing confidence, potential future moves, or shifts in voting power — like watching a public ledger where large shareholders quietly adjust their positions.

beneficial owner financial

"CRGI is deemed to be the beneficial owner of 4,696,916 shares"

A beneficial owner is the person who ultimately owns or controls a financial asset or property, even if their name isn't directly on official documents. Think of it like someone who secretly holds the keys to a safe deposit box—others may appear to have access, but the true owner is the one who benefits from what's inside. Identifying beneficial owners helps ensure transparency and prevent illegal activities like money laundering or fraud.

sole dispositive power financial

"Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 4,696,916"

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.
