Insights
Dodge & Cox holds a sizable, non‑control stake in Molson Coors.
The filing shows an institutional investment manager with 18,631,224 shares, equal to 10.0% of the Class B stock, and 17,895,949 votes under sole voting power. That scale typically gives meaningful economic exposure without signaling an intent to seek control when the filer checks the ordinary course certification.
Key dependencies include whether the stake is held across multiple client accounts (the filing indicates client holdings) and if any single client (the Dodge & Cox Stock Fund) holds 13,942,525 shares (7.5%). Monitor filings for any change in percent ownership or voting power around typical quarterly reporting windows.
Filing follows Schedule 13G disclosure for passive institutional investors.
The statement is filed under Schedule 13G (amendment) with a certification that the position is held in the ordinary course of business and not to influence control. This classification limits immediate regulatory implications compared with a Schedule 13D that would signal activist intent.
Watch for any amendments that change reporting classification or disclose plans to acquire additional shares; such changes would alter regulatory status and could appear within days of material trading activity or following portfolio rebalancing.
