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 659 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
659 managers reported a position, together holding 525.4m shares, or 87.2% of the company. The 40 largest are listed. Percentages are of the 602.4m shares outstanding at 18 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
- Rolls-up bookkeeping: 'Pavel Baudis' rolls_up_into 'All Current Directors and Executive Officers as a Group (11 Persons)'. The container's own shares field is left at the full 58,192,040 as filed; the register self-gate below reduces it to its residual (58,192,040 - 49,840,928 = 8,351,112) so Baudis is not double counted.
- Self-gate computed on this final file using the project's exact chart arithmetic (raw shares summed for every row, aggregate containers reduced to their residual over members present): 8 register rows, total charted shares 304,716,920, 50.91% of shares_outstanding (598,587,032). This is above the roughly 25-45% band the brief describes as typical but below its 55% hard-flag threshold. The concentration is real and independently sourced, not an artifact: Gen Digital carries an unusually large, individually verified institutional float (Vanguard family 12.02%, BlackRock 8.93%, FMR 7.74%, State Street 5.22%, Ameriprise 4.63%, Geode 2.64%, all cross-checked to a consistent implied price of approximately $24.85-24.90/sh as of 30 Jun 2026) on top of a large, separately verified founder/insider stake (Pavel Baudis, Avast co-founder, 8.3% via DEF 14A) that overlaps none of the institutional rows.
- UNVERIFIED LEAD (a) from the task brief CONFIRMED and correctly excluded: MoneyLion was acquired by Gen Digital as a full business combination completed 17 Apr 2025 for approximately $951 million (Note 3, Business Combinations, in both the FY2026 10-K and the Q1 FY2027 10-Q). MoneyLion Inc and MoneyLion Technologies Inc appear as wholly owned subsidiaries in Exhibit 21.01 of the FY2026 10-K (filed 21 May 2026). This is a consolidated operating subsidiary, not a minority equity holding, so it is correctly excluded from the holdings array per the project's rules.
- UNVERIFIED LEAD (b) from the task brief CONFIRMED but not sizeable to any named investee: both the FY2026 10-K (period ended 3 Apr 2026) and the Q1 FY2027 10-Q (period ended 3 Jul 2026) disclose 'non-marketable equity investments' (equity investments in privately-held companies without a readily determinable fair value, measured at cost minus impairment) with a carrying value of exactly $16 million at both dates, held in Other long-term assets. The FY2026 10-K also discloses that during fiscal 2026 the company sold an equity interest in one such investment for a mix of cash and non-cash (a further equity investment) proceeds, recognizing an $11 million gain, and that the combined carrying value fell from $109 million (28 Mar 2025) to $16 million (3 Apr 2026) over the year. No individual investee is named anywhere in either filing, so per the project's rule against assigning a combined balance to any one investee, no holdings row is created; the $16 million combined figure is recorded here and in unknowns instead.
- Fiscal year check: Gen Digital's fiscal year ends in late March/early April, not December. The newest filing by date is the Q1 FY2027 10-Q (period ended 3 Jul 2026, filed 7 Aug 2026), which postdates the FY2026 10-K (period ended 3 Apr 2026, filed 21 May 2026) by about 11 weeks. The 10-Q was used as the primary source for shares outstanding and the freshest available financial detail; the 10-K was used for the fuller-year non-marketable-investments narrative and Exhibit 21.
- Exhibit 21.01 of the FY2026 10-K (a bare subsidiary name list with no ownership-percentage column) lists NortonLifeLock Security Holdings Inc, NortonLifeLock Ireland Limited, NortonLifeLock Singapore Pte. Ltd., NortonLifeLock Japan G.K., Avast Software s.r.o, MoneyLion Technologies Inc and MoneyLion Inc: all wholly owned operating subsidiaries, no joint ventures or minority-owned entities, and no percentage column to size anything even if there were. This is treated as a genuine negative per the project's guidance, not evidence of looking in the wrong place.
- Activist/strategic holder check requested by the task brief: Starboard Value LP (an activist investor) appears in the register snapshot data/registers/GEN.json at 7,806,922 shares as of the 31 Mar 2026 (Q1 2026) snapshot period. Its own Q2 2026 13F-HR (CIK 0001517137, filed 14 Aug 2026, period 30 Jun 2026) was checked directly and carries NO Gen Digital / CUSIP 668771108 line at all among its 22 reported positions: Starboard fully exited the position sometime in Q2 2026. Per the project's rule that an exited holder is a note, not a row, no Starboard row is included here.
- Capital Group family check requested by the task brief: Capital World Investors (CIK 0001422849), Capital International Investors (CIK 0001562230) and Capital Research Global Investors (CIK 0001422848) were each individually checked against their own Q2 2026 13F-HR information tables. None reports any position under CUSIP 668771108 / Gen Digital; all three filed real information tables with hundreds of other issuer lines (their 'GEN' name-fragment matches were all different companies: Amgen, General Motors, Generate Biomedicines, argenx, 10x Genomics, Regeneron, General Mills, Casey's General Stores, Versigent, Banco Bilbao, Generac, General Dynamics, Genuine Parts, Legend Biotech). This is a genuine negative, not a gap: Capital Group does not currently hold Gen Digital.
- T. Rowe Price family check requested by the task brief: both T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (CIK 0000080255) and the separate registrant T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. (CIK 0001897612) were checked against their own Q2 2026 13F-HR information tables. Neither reports any position under CUSIP 668771108 / Gen Digital among their (respectively) 59 and 10 'GEN'-fragment-matched but entirely different issuers (Neogen, Repligen, 10x Genomics, NeoGenomics, Cathay General Bancorp, Casey's General Stores, General Motors, Biogen, Allogene, General Dynamics on the Investment Management side; CCC Intelligent Solutions, QIAGEN, Regency Centers and 56 further unrelated issuers on the Associates side). This is a genuine negative: neither T. Rowe Price entity currently holds Gen Digital.
- Register row count check: this file's register array contains exactly 8 rows (Vanguard family, Pavel Baudis, BlackRock, FMR, State Street, Ameriprise, the directors/officers group aggregate, Geode), matching the 'row count' figure asserted above.
- The GEN.json register snapshot (period 31-MAR-2026) was used only to learn WHO holds and to enumerate the Vanguard family's entity list; every share figure in this file was independently re-fetched from each holder's own Q2 2026 (period 2026-06-30) 13F-HR filing, or from the 2026 DEF 14A for the two insider rows, per the project's rule against taking numbers from the snapshot directly.
- Instacash Advances / Sound Point Capital, mentioned in the Q1 FY2027 10-Q, is a receivables purchase and loan-servicing arrangement tied to MoneyLion's Instacash product (Gen sells advances to, and services them for, a counterparty under a Purchase Agreement, with a payable to Sound Point disclosed). This is a financing/servicing relationship, not an equity stake, and is not included as a holding.
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 exact number of separate privately-held companies making up Gen Digital's $16 million combined non-marketable equity investments balance (as of both 3 Apr 2026 and 3 Jul 2026) is not disclosed in either the FY2026 10-K or the Q1 FY2027 10-Q, nor is any investee named. Searched: both filings' full text for 'equity method', 'equity investment', 'non-marketable', 'cost method', 'joint venture', 'variable interest entity', 'investments in affiliates', 'unrealized gain' and 'minority interest', plus Exhibit 21.01 of the FY2026 10-K (subsidiaries list, no percentage column, no joint ventures).
- The identity of the equity interest Gen Digital sold during fiscal 2026 (recognizing an $11 million gain and receiving a further non-cash equity investment as partial consideration) is not disclosed by name in the FY2026 10-K.
- value_usd for Pavel Baudis and for the directors/executive-officers-as-a-group aggregate is left null: Gen's DEF 14A discloses share counts and percentages only, no dollar values, and no value is modelled here to avoid inventing a figure.
