Ownership and activist filings

Who owns the stock, who is building a stake, and who is about to push for change.

Large holders move stocks, and when a passive holder turns active the stock often moves further. ORTEX reads ownership filings directly from the SEC as they are published: activist and large-holder stakes within minutes, quarterly institutional holdings from more than 9,000 managers, notices of intended insider sales, and monthly fund portfolios. Every filing is tied to its stock and its filer.

Every stake, as it is disclosed

Activist, institutional and fund filings, collected continuously and tied to the right stock.

01
Activist stakes

Schedule 13D and 13G: the filer, the stake as a share of the class and the change since their last filing, checked every ten minutes.

02
Passive to active

A holder switching from a passive 13G to an active 13D is one of the strongest events in ownership data. Filter out the index giants and see only genuine activists.

03
Institutional holdings

13F holdings from more than 9,000 managers, collected hourly through filing season.

04
Intended sales

Form 144 notices of planned sales by insiders and affiliates: a warning that supply is coming.
