Insights

Institutional Ownership & Governance Analyst

Vanguard discloses a 15.25% passive stake in MaxLinear.

The Vanguard Group reports beneficial ownership of 13,326,387 MaxLinear shares, or 15.25% of the common stock as of December 31, 2025. It has shared voting power over 654,535 shares and shared dispositive power over the full 13,326,387 shares, with no sole authority.

The filing characterizes this position as held in the ordinary course of business and explicitly states it is not for the purpose of changing or influencing control. This aligns with a typical passive institutional holder under a Schedule 13G, rather than an activist posture or control transaction.

The document also describes an internal realignment on January 12, 2026, after which certain Vanguard subsidiaries may report holdings separately. That may gradually shift how ownership is reported across entities, but the filing indicates investment strategies remain the same, so the economic exposure described here is the key current datapoint.
