Insights
TL;DR Baillie Gifford reveals 6.8 % passive stake in Enphase, confirming solid institutional backing without control intentions.
Baillie Gifford’s 8.98 million-share position makes it one of Enphase’s largest shareholders, adding long-term, fundamentally driven ownership. Because the form is 13G (not 13D), the firm affirms a non-activist stance, reducing governance friction risks. The split between voting (4.96 M) and dispositive (8.98 M) rights is typical of global mandates where some funds lack voting authority. While the filing does not disclose purchase price or timing, surpassing the 5 % threshold can tighten float and may be viewed positively by the market as a vote of confidence from a respected growth manager. However, without evidence of additional buying or strategic intent, the disclosure is largely informational.
