Insights

Institutional Ownership Analyst

Vanguard crosses the 5.00% reporting threshold with 3.19M shares.

Vanguard Capital Management reports beneficial ownership of 3,185,170 shares, equal to 5.05% of Cullen/Frost Bankers common stock. The filing shows sole dispositive power for the full holding and sole voting power for a smaller portion (475,125 shares), consistent with asset‑manager reporting where voting and dispositive authorities can differ.

Ownership is aggregated across specified Vanguard affiliates and funds per the filing language; the report does not identify which specific funds or client accounts hold >5%. Subsequent disclosures or fund-level schedules would be needed to trace exact holder composition.

Corporate Governance Advisor

Cross-checks and governance implications are routine for a 5% filer.

The 5.05% position triggers public disclosure but does not itself imply control. The filing explicitly states voting and dispositive powers and lists affiliated entities included in the aggregation, which clarifies the reporting structure used by Vanguard.

Key items to watch in future filings: any change in voting power, additional schedule amendments, or separate 13D filings that would indicate an activist or control intent; none of those are asserted here.

Beneficial ownership regulatory

"reflects the securities beneficially owned, or deemed to be beneficially owned, by Vanguard"

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

Sole dispositive power regulatory

"Sole Dispositive Power 3,185,170.00"

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.

Aggregated reporting regulatory

"this reflects the securities beneficially owned...by Vanguard Capital Management LLC and the following affiliates"
