Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and its subsidiary Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC report beneficial ownership of 8,031,366.47 shares of Fortrea Holdings Inc. common stock, representing 8.9% of the class. The filing shows no sole voting or dispositive power and records shared voting power of 8,028,366.47 and shared dispositive power of 8,031,366.47, indicating the position is held collectively rather than by a single controlling party.

LLC as a broker/dealer and registered investment adviser and includes a joint filing agreement (Exhibit 99.1) and subsidiary identification (Exhibit 99.2). The statement certifies the securities were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and not to change or influence control of the issuer.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Goldman Sachs reports a material, non-controlling ~8.9% stake in Fortrea held with shared voting/dispositive power.

The reported 8.03M-share position is above the 5% Schedule 13G disclosure threshold and is therefore material for market transparency. The absence of sole voting or dispositive power suggests Goldman Sachs is not asserting control and is likely managing positions on behalf of clients or trading accounts. The joint filing and Exhibit 99.2 clarify the parent-subsidiary ownership and the regulatory roles of the subsidiary as a broker/dealer and investment adviser, which can affect how the stake is used (e.g., advisory or brokerage activities) while remaining passive per the certification.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Disclosure signals a significant passive holding; governance impact appears limited given no sole voting power.

The filing documents that voting and dispositive authority are shared, with zero sole power, reducing the likelihood of immediate governance influence by Goldman Sachs. The joint filing agreement documents coordinated disclosure obligations between the group members. For stakeholders, this is a material ownership disclosure but does not, on its face, indicate activism or control attempts.
