Insights

Institutional Ownership Analyst

Large passive stake disclosed by an investment adviser representing multiple client accounts.

The filing shows 16,628,279 shares (8.26%) held by Donald Smith & Co., Inc. and affiliated accounts as of 03/31/2026. The adviser reports sole voting and dispositive power over most of those shares for management purposes.

This schedule frames the position as advisory/discretionary: the filing states the ultimate economic beneficiaries are institutional clients and that no single client exceeds 5%. Subsequent filings may clarify if any client establishes a >5% block or a change in voting arrangements.

Governance & Proxy Specialist

Stake size is meaningful for engagement but not a controlling position.

At 8.26%, the disclosed holding is large enough to be relevant in governance discussions yet below common control thresholds. The filing explicitly notes voting authority resides with the adviser but economic rights rest with various clients.

Material actions (e.g., coordinated voting, election contests) would require further disclosure; monitoring future schedules or proxy statements will show whether the adviser aggregates votes or acts on behalf of a single large client.

4 terms

Schedule 13G regulatory

"Item 1. (a) Name of issuer: Park Hotels & Resorts Inc."

A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.

Beneficial ownership financial

"Item 4. (a) Amount beneficially owned: 16,628,279"

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

Dispositive power regulatory

"Item 4. (iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 16,473,641"

Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.

Advisory/discretionary accounts financial

"Item 6. Donald Smith & Co., Inc. does not serve as custodian of the assets"
