Wellington Management reports beneficial ownership of 3,244,404 shares of Glaukos Corporation common stock, representing approximately 5.68% of the class. The filing shows no sole voting or dispositive power; voting power is shared for about 2,833,990 shares while shared dispositive power equals the full 3,244,404 shares disclosed.
The securities are owned of record by clients of Wellington investment advisers and are reported as held in the ordinary course of business on a Schedule 13G. Multiple Wellington entities are listed as reporting persons and two classifications appear: several entities as HC (holding companies) and Wellington Management Company LLP as IA (investment adviser).
Positive
Clear disclosure of beneficial ownership totaling 3,244,404 shares (~5.68%) of Glaukos common stock
Filing indicates passive ownership (Schedule 13G) and clarifies the shares are held of record by Wellington advisory clients
Negative
None.
Insights
TL;DR: Wellington reports a passive, just-over-5% stake in Glaukos, disclosed under Schedule 13G, indicating investment exposure but no control intent.
The Schedule 13G discloses beneficial ownership of 3,244,404 shares (~5.68%), with zero sole voting or dispositive power and shared voting power of ~2.83M shares. That ownership level is material by typical thresholds and must be monitored by investors, but the use of Schedule 13G signals the position is passive and not intended to influence control. The filing also clarifies the shares are held of record by clients of Wellington investment advisers, which affects how the stake should be interpreted for governance and market-impact analysis.
TL;DR: A >5% passive stake triggers disclosure obligations but, as a 13G, does not imply activist intent or governance change.
The reporting package names multiple Wellington entities and classifies them largely as holding companies (HC) with one entity as an investment adviser (IA). Shared voting and dispositive powers are reported, and the filing states the securities are owned of record by advisory clients. From a governance perspective, this is a material ownership disclosure but lacks indicators of coordinated control or takeover efforts given the 13G form and the absence of sole voting control.
