Fell to 5% or less (2)

Holders whose latest filing says they hold 5% or less. After it they need not file again, so what they hold today is not known.

  • The Vanguard Group0.00%Mar 26, 202613G/A
  • Ameriprise Financial, Inc.2.70%May 15, 202513G/A

From the Schedule 13D and 13G filed with the SEC since Dec 18, 2024, when they became structured data. A holder who has filed nothing since then is not shown here. A 13D is updated within two business days of any material change, a 13G up to 45 days after the quarter of the change, so the shares are those of the filing. The large managers also appear in the 13Fs.

This is not the number of shares sold short today: it measures short sales within each day's trading, and only trades made off the exchanges. Much of it is market makers, who sell shares they do not have to fill buyers' orders and cover soon after, so for a heavily traded stock the share is often around half.
