Dimensional Fund Advisors LP reported beneficial ownership of 434,569 shares of Johnson Outdoors Inc common stock, representing 4.7% of the class as of 09/30/2025. Dimensional says these shares are owned by client funds it advises and disclaims beneficial ownership, while noting it may possess voting and/or investment power over the securities held by those funds. The filing shows 425,009 shares for which Dimensional has sole voting power and 434,569 shares for which it has sole dispositive power. The statement affirms the securities were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not to influence control of the issuer.
Positive
Clear disclosure of share counts: 434,569 total, 425,009 sole voting power
Passive ownership asserted with ordinary-course certification, consistent with Rule 13g filings
Filed by an established adviser with compliance officer signature, indicating procedural completeness
Negative
Stake below 5%, so limited threshold-triggered influence and fewer mandatory disclosures about fund-level concentration
Beneficial ownership disclaimed, which limits transparency about the economic owners of the shares
Insights
Large passive stake disclosure; influence likely limited.
Holding 434,569 shares, equal to 4.7% of the class, identifies Dimensional as a meaningful institutional holder but below the 5% threshold that often triggers heightened market attention. The filing clarifies ownership is held in client funds, and Dimensional expressly disclaims beneficial ownership, which aligns with typical asset-manager disclosures where legal voting power does not equal economic ownership.
Watch for future filings if the percentage rises above 5% or if any single Fund concentration approaches that level; institutional shifts around quarterly reporting dates can change stewardship dynamics within a short (90‑120 days) window.
Filing appears procedurally complete and compliant.
The Schedule 13G/A includes required items: issuer identity, CUSIP, address, role classification as an investment adviser, and specific voting/dispositive power counts. The signature by the Global Chief Compliance Officer and the certification language state the securities are held in the ordinary course of business, meeting the standard for a passive 13G filing.
Any change in intent to influence control would require an amendment to a different filing form; monitor amendments or Form 13D filings within the next reporting periods for any change in acquisition purpose.
