The full register, from 13F filings
The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 925 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
925 managers reported a position, together holding 491.4m shares, or 95.1% of the company. The 40 largest are listed. Percentages are of the 516.9m shares outstanding at 6 May 2026, the count in force when this quarter was measured rather than the count today.
Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.
What a reader needs to know to read these numbers
- Company name written as 'Fidelity National Information Services (FIS)' per the task's mandatory instruction, since the plain legal name 'Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.' does not contain the string 'fis' and would otherwise be dropped by crosscheck.py as unmatchable.
- Ticker check: FIS trades on the NYSE under 'FIS', confirmed on the SEC's own submissions feed (data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK0001136893.json lists tickers ['FIS'], exchanges ['NYSE']) and on the cover page of the Q2 2026 10-Q. No discrepancy with the register.
- HOLDINGS SIDE, THE WORLDPAY STAKE: FIS is FULLY OUT of Worldpay. Following the January 2024 sale of a majority stake in its Merchant Solutions business to GTCR, FIS retained a non-controlling 45% equity interest in the resulting standalone joint venture, Worldpay Holdco, LLC, accounted for under the equity method. On 9 Jan 2026, pursuant to a Transaction Agreement dated 17 Apr 2025 among FIS, Global Payments Inc., Total System Services LLC and Worldpay, FIS closed a transaction in which it (a) SOLD its entire remaining 45% equity interest in Worldpay to Global Payments, and (b) simultaneously ACQUIRED Global Payments' Issuer Solutions business. The Worldpay interest (net pre-tax sale value $5.8 billion) plus approximately $7.7 billion of new debt funded the Issuer Solutions acquisition. FIS recorded a preliminary estimated pre-tax gain of $2.2 billion in Q1 2026, representing the excess of the net selling price over the carrying value of the Worldpay equity method investment as of closing (the Q2 2026 10-Q's balance sheet shows the 'Equity method investment' line falling from $3,681 million at 31 Dec 2025 to $13 million at 30 Jun 2026, consistent with the Worldpay position being fully removed). This is an ASSET-FOR-ASSET-PLUS-CASH exchange, not a share-for-share conversion: FIS received an operating business unit (Issuer Solutions) and cash, not Global Payments common stock. FIS therefore holds NO ongoing equity interest in Worldpay and received NO Global Payments shares as a result of this transaction; there is no holdings row for either Worldpay or Global Payments in this file. Sourced entirely from the Q2 2026 10-Q (filed 4 Aug 2026, the freshest filing on EDGAR, postdating the FY2025 10-K filed 24 Feb 2026).
- No global-payments.json exists yet in this project's data/research/ directory to cross-check against; when it is researched, its file should independently confirm the same 9 Jan 2026 transaction from Global Payments' side (acquisition of FIS' 45% Worldpay interest, disposal of the Issuer Solutions business) with no FIS-side equity stake created.
- OTHER HOLDINGS SEARCHED, NONE SIZEABLE OR NAMEABLE: the Q2 2026 10-Q discloses a single combined 'Equity Security Investments' bucket of equity securities without readily determinable fair values, described only as 'primarily strategic investments made by the Company, as well as investments obtained through acquisitions,' totaling $194 million at 30 Jun 2026 ($193 million at 31 Dec 2025). No individual investee is named anywhere the filing was searched ('equity method', 'Worldpay', 'Global Payments', 'strategic investment', 'cost method', 'non-marketable', 'unrealized gain', 'minority interest in', 'other investments', 'Marketable equity'), so per the combined-balance rule no holdings row can be created for it (there is no name to attach a null-sized row to, unlike Fiserv's named-but-unsplit Sagent/defi SOLUTIONS case). Exhibit 21 to the FY2025 10-K ('List of Subsidiaries') is filed as a set of scanned JPEG images rather than searchable text, so it could not be checked with this project's text-search tooling; if it carries an ownership-percentage column (as Quest Diagnostics' and PPG's did), that was not discoverable here.
- REGISTER: 15 rows (11 institutional 13F-based rows including 2 summed manager families, Vanguard and Capital Group; plus 4 insider/proxy rows: one 15-person officer/director aggregate, the CEO and CFO rolled up into it as members, and one standalone former-officer row for Firdaus Bhathena). Self-gate computed per the chart's own formula on the FINAL file: institutional rows at full value (291,822,988 shares) + the officer/director aggregate reduced to its residual (1,426,848 minus the 1,062,710 rolled up into it from Ferris and Kehoe = 364,138) + Ferris and Kehoe at full value (1,062,710) + Bhathena at full value (121,955) = 293,371,791 shares against 515,705,917 shares outstanding, or 56.89%. This is ABOVE the brief's stated 15-55% tolerance band. It was investigated rather than shipped blind: every multi-line 13F filer above was checked for and found free of derivative (option/warrant) lines that could inflate a share count; every summed family (Vanguard's 8 entities, Capital Group's 3 entities) was verified against this project's own FIS.json register snapshot for entity identity, with figures re-fetched fresh rather than reused from the snapshot; zero-holding entities (Capital International Investors, T. Rowe Price Investment Management) were confirmed by direct CUSIP search rather than assumed; and Geode's raw 'FIDELITY' match was disambiguated across 3 unrelated CUSIPs (FIS itself, Fidelity National Financial, Fidelity D&D Bancorp) to avoid folding unrelated issuers together. No double-count or wrong-basis error was found; the elevated total appears to be a genuine feature of FIS' current, unusually concentrated institutional ownership (several holders individually above 5%, none of which conflict with each other by CUSIP or CIK) rather than a data defect, and is reported transparently as such.
- FIS has a single class of common stock, one vote per share; no dual-class or founder-control structure was found, and no stock split was found in the Q2 2026 10-Q (searched for 'stock split', 'reverse split', 'forward split', all NOT FOUND).
- The 2026 proxy's own 5%-plus holder table (based on stale Schedule 13D/13G filings, dated as far back as Feb 2024) names five holders: The Vanguard Group 69,379,555 shares (13.4%), Dodge & Cox 49,113,297 (9.5%), JPMorgan Chase & Co 44,621,625 (8.6%), BlackRock, Inc. 38,938,367 (7.5%), Capital Research Global Investors 28,350,357 (5.5%). The register above instead uses each manager's fresh Q2 2026 Form 13F-HR per the brief's preference for current data; Dodge & Cox and State Street match closely across both sources, while Vanguard, BlackRock, JPMorgan and Capital Group diverge more (reconciled, not overwritten): both figures are recorded in each row's own method_note.
- The Directors and Officers (15 persons) aggregate's own printed arithmetic does not exactly reconcile against its 14 individually named rows even after excluding the one confirmed-departed officer (Bhathena): the options column matches exactly (823,756) but the owned-shares column is 43,736 shares higher than the group total. This looks like a genuine internal inconsistency in FIS' own proxy table rather than a transcription error here (the raw text was re-fetched in full and checked character by character); it is called out rather than silently resolved by assumption. It affects only 0.008% of shares outstanding either way and does not change the self-gate materially.
Looked for, not found
Recorded rather than filled in. Each of these is a place where a number could have been invented and was not.
- The individual carrying value and ownership percentage of whatever remains in the small $13 million 'Equity method investment' balance-sheet line at 30 Jun 2026 (down from $3,681 million at 31 Dec 2025, essentially all Worldpay); not named in the Q2 2026 10-Q text searched.
- The identities and individual sizes of the investments inside the combined $194 million (30 Jun 2026) 'Equity Security Investments' bucket (strategic investments plus investments obtained through acquisitions); not named anywhere in the Q2 2026 10-Q.
- Whether Exhibit 21 to the FY2025 10-K (List of Subsidiaries) discloses any ownership percentages for non-wholly-owned entities; it is filed as scanned JPEG images and could not be read with this project's text-based filing tool.
- Precise dollar values for the four insider/proxy rows (the 15-person group, Ferris, Kehoe, Bhathena) are null: the proxy's beneficial ownership table gives only share counts and a 'less than 1%' label, and no FIS share price as of the 13 Apr 2026 record date was independently sourced within scope.
- The exact composition of the 11 non-Ferris, non-Kehoe, non-Bhathena current directors and officers within the 'Directors and Officers (15 persons)' aggregate row is not individually broken out, since the printed group total does not exactly reconcile against the sum of the proxy's own individually named rows (see notes); only Ferris and Kehoe are asserted as members here.
- Whether any additional Vanguard-affiliated or Capital-Group-affiliated 13F filers beyond the ones checked (8 Vanguard entities, 3 Capital Group entities) hold FIS shares was not further investigated; this project's own FIS.json snapshot lists exactly these entities for both families as of 31-Mar-2026, and no larger family was found.
