[SCHEDULE 13G/A] Dell Technologies Inc. SEC Filing
The Vanguard Group filed Amendment No. 3 to its Schedule 13G disclosing a passive 8.4 % stake (13,564,336 shares) in Coursera Inc (CUSIP 22266M104) as of 30 Jun 2025. Vanguard reports no sole voting rights; it shares voting power over only 163,828 shares, reflecting its index-tracking, non-activist posture. Conversely, it holds sole dispositive power over 13.25 million shares and shared dispositive power over 315,517 shares, allowing it to trade the bulk of the position while refraining from governance influence.
The filing is made under Rule 13d-1(b) as Vanguard qualifies as an investment adviser ("IA"). Vanguard certifies the shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not to influence control of Coursera. The ownership level crosses the 5 % threshold, requiring disclosure but does not signal any change-of-control intent or activist campaign.
- Vanguard holds 8.4 % of Coursera’s outstanding shares, underscoring strong institutional ownership and potential liquidity benefits.
- None.
Insights
TL;DR: Vanguard's 8.4 % passive stake signals institutional support but no governance activism; limited direct impact on Coursera’s strategy.
Coursera gains visibility inside Vanguard’s broad index and ETF complex, potentially enhancing trading liquidity and shareholder base stability. However, Vanguard’s zero sole voting power and standard certification confirm it will not push for strategic changes, limiting immediate catalyst potential. Holdings of this size can dampen volatility and ease future equity raises, yet do not guarantee price appreciation. Overall valuation impact is modest and longer-term.
TL;DR: Passive 13G filing—no activism, governance status quo maintained.
The amendment reaffirms Vanguard’s passive stance under Rule 13d-1(b). With only 1.2 % of shares subject to shared voting rights, Vanguard will rely on its proxy-voting guidelines but lacks concentrated influence. Management retains control latitude, and no poison-pill or board negotiations are implied. Investors should not expect governance shifts stemming from this ownership disclosure.
