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 1,065 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
1,065 managers reported a position, together holding 120.3m shares, or 87.4% of the company. The 40 largest are listed. Percentages are of the 137.6m shares outstanding at 17 Apr 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
- Holdings side is empty. The FY2025 10-K and the 30 Jun 2026 10-Q were searched for 'equity method', 'unconsolidated', 'joint venture', 'noncontrolling interest', 'affiliate', 'Alliance Automotive', 'Exego', 'Repco', 'ownership interest', 'Motion Industries' and 'minority interest'. GPC's International Automotive segment operates through Alliance Automotive Group (AAG, Europe) and GPC Asia Pacific (Australasia, owner of the Repco brand), both explicitly described in the current 10-K as 'wholly-owned subsidiaries'. GPC Asia Pacific was built from Exego Group, which GPC acquired in stages starting 2013; 'Exego' no longer appears anywhere in the current filings, consistent with that stake having been fully bought in and consolidated to 100% ownership rather than remaining a partly owned or joint-venture position (the Otis/Spain pattern the brief flagged). The Industrial segment (Motion Industries, Motion Asia Pacific) is likewise wholly owned. No named joint venture, equity-method investee, or partly owned public affiliate is disclosed anywhere in either filing.
- The 10-K's 'Other Assets' footnote states that 'other assets consist primarily of cash surrender value of life insurance policies, short-term bond fund, equity method and other investments, guarantee fees receivable, and deferred compensation benefits' inside a combined Other Assets balance of $929.65 million (FY2025) / similar in the 10-Q. No breakdown of the equity-method piece and no investee name is given anywhere in either filing, so under the brief's combined-balance rule this is recorded as a finding in notes/unknowns rather than as a null-valued named holding: there is no named target to attach a null row to.
- The 10-K also discloses, only in the guarantee-obligations note, that GPC 'guarantee[s] the borrowings of certain independently owned automotive parts stores and certain other affiliates in which we have a non-controlling equity ownership interest.' This is unsized (no count, names, or aggregate value disclosed) and structurally resembles GPC's independent NAPA Auto Care / independent-affiliate-store network described elsewhere in the 10-K (over 20,000 independent NAPA Auto Care repair shops; 1,750 independent affiliate stores in Europe/Australasia per the FY2025 store-count table). These are franchise-style or dealer-network relationships, not equity stakes GPC could size or report as holdings, and are explicitly excluded from the holdings array per the brief's rule that inventory/distribution/franchise relationships with independently owned stores are not equity stakes.
- Register self-gate, computed from this final file exactly as the chart computes it: 8 rows (Vanguard family, BlackRock, State Street, Geode, Harris Associates, Capital Group/Capital International Investors, T. Rowe Price Associates, and the Directors/Officers-as-a-group aggregate, which has no member rows in this file and so counts at full value). Share total = 16,636,377 + 13,348,959 + 7,628,741 + 3,900,115 + 3,653,725 + 2,875,076 + 202,752 + 173,884 = 48,419,629 shares. 48,419,629 / 137,859,758 shares outstanding = 35.12%.
- The 2026 DEF 14A's 5%-holder table cites only stale Schedule 13G/A filings for its three institutional holders: Vanguard 17,549,163 shares (12.6%, 13G/A filed 13 Feb 2024), BlackRock 12,094,147 shares (8.7%, 13G/A filed 17 Jul 2025), State Street 7,974,228 shares (5.7%, 13G filed 29 Jan 2024). Per the brief, the fresher 30 Jun 2026 13F figures are used instead (Vanguard 16,636,377 / 12.07%, BlackRock 13,348,959 / 9.68%, State Street 7,628,741 / 5.53%). Consistent with the brief's warning that a stale-to-fresh correction does not run one way: Vanguard and State Street both moved DOWN from the stale 13G figures (partly reflecting GPC's ongoing buyback, which cut shares outstanding from roughly 138.8m at end-2025 to 137.86m by mid-2026) while BlackRock moved UP by about 1.25 million shares.
- No founding-family or foundation 5% holder was found. GPC is a 97-year-old company (founded 1928) but the 2026 DEF 14A's 'more than five percent' table lists only Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street; no Jacobs-family or other founder-descendant entity appears there or in the Security Ownership of Directors and Officers table, and no filing text referencing a founding family, family trust, or foundation was found. The Directors/Officers-as-a-group total of 173,884 shares (0.13% of the company) is itself the smallest register row here, unlike the Walmart or Marriott precedents the brief cites.
- No stock split was found in the period reviewed; shares_outstanding (137,859,758) is taken directly from the 30 Jun 2026 10-Q cover page, dated as of 17 Jul 2026, and used as the single denominator throughout this file.
- Market cap ($18.21bn) and share price ($140.38) are both sourced from stockanalysis.com as of 18 Aug 2026 (today). Multiplying shares_outstanding x share_price_usd gives approximately $19.35bn, about 6% above the site's own displayed market-cap figure; this discrepancy is noted rather than resolved, since both the price and the market-cap figure came from the same page and the site does not explain the gap (possibly a timing difference between the quoted price and the share count it used).
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.
- Any breakdown of the 'equity method and other investments' component of GPC's combined Other Assets balance ($929.65 million at FY2025 year end). Neither the 10-K nor the 10-Q names an investee, states a value, or states an ownership percentage for any equity-method position; searched 'equity method', 'investments in', 'unconsolidated' in both filings with no further detail found.
- The identity, count, and aggregate value of the 'independently owned automotive parts stores and certain other affiliates in which [GPC has] a non-controlling equity ownership interest', referenced only in the 10-K's debt/guarantee footnote. No further detail (names, percentages, dollar figures) is disclosed in either filing searched.
- Whether any Jacobs-family descendant, trust, or foundation holds a stake below the 5% proxy-disclosure threshold. The 2026 DEF 14A's beneficial-ownership tables were searched for family/foundation language and none was found, but a sub-5% family holding would not be independently disclosed and could not be ruled out from the documents reviewed.
- A primary EDINET- or SEC-level confirmation of AAG's and GPC Asia Pacific's exact incorporation/ownership percentage (e.g. any residual minority stub below 100%) was not separately sought beyond the 10-K's plain-text 'wholly-owned subsidiaries' description, since no filing suggested a partly owned structure existed for either.
- BlackRock's full 21-line GPC position was not individually itemized by sub-entity or share class in this file (only the summed total and the first 8 lines were printed by the summing tool); this does not affect the summed total but is noted for completeness.
