McCormick & Company, Incorporated

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 952 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.

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

• DUAL CLASS COMPANY. McCormick has two share classes: Common Stock (voting, ticker MKC.V, 14,796,402 shares outstanding as of 31 May 2026 per the 10-Q cover page) and Common Stock Non-Voting (the widely held, index-tracked class, ticker MKC, 254,055,150 shares outstanding as of 31 May 2026). company.shares_outstanding is set to the NON-VOTING class (254,055,150) because MKC is the ticker this project's register file (data/registers/MKC.json) and every 13F filer's CUSIP (579780206, 'COM NON VTG') attach to: it is the class actually held by the institutional register below. Every register row's pct_of_company uses this same 254,055,150 non-voting denominator; every share figure in the register is non-voting-class shares only, never mixed with voting-class shares, per the one-instrument-one-basis rule.
• VOTING CLASS CONCENTRATION (not sized into the register): per the 10-Q, a beneficial holder of 10% or more of voting Common Stock has certain voting limitations under McCormick's charter, and per the 2026 DEF 14A (record date ~Feb 2026, when 14,847,702 voting shares and 253,590,537 non-voting shares were outstanding), Directors and Executive Officers as a Group (17 persons) held 1,711,408 shares of voting Common Stock, equal to 10.6% of the voting class; CEO Brendan M. Foley individually held 663,938 voting shares (about 4.3% of the voting class). These are voting-class (MKC.V) shares, a different instrument from the non-voting shares.company.shares_outstanding denominator used in the register, so they are described here rather than inserted as a register row, per the brief's guidance for dual-class companies. No McCormick-family surname (e.g. no individual identified simply as a family trust) crossed a disclosed 5% threshold of either class in the sources checked; broader family/employee concentration in the voting class beyond the named officers and directors could not be sized from the documents fetched.
• Two Capital Group registrants (Capital World Investors CIK 0001422849, Capital International Investors CIK 0001562230, Capital Research Global Investors CIK 0001422848) were each checked in their own Q2 2026 (period 2026-06-30) 13F-HR information table and none held McCormick (CUSIP 579780206 or 579780107) as of that date. This is a checked-and-zero finding, not a gap, so no row is included for Capital Group.
• T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. (CIK 0001897612) was checked in its Q2 2026 13F-HR and held no McCormick position as of 2026-06-30; only T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (CIK 0000080255) holds. T. Rowe Price Associates files its 13F information-table VALUES IN THOUSANDS: the raw filing shows 1,425,857 shares against a raw value figure of $71,892 (thousands), i.e. $71,892,000; this was cross-checked against the implied price of ~$50.42/share that every other filer's raw (whole-dollar) value divides out to for the same 30 June 2026 period (BlackRock, State Street, Geode, Vanguard entities all imply ~$50.42/share), confirming the thousands basis rather than a literal $0.05/share reading. This is a full EXIT during Q2 2026, not an entity that never held: this project's own 13F-derived register (data/registers/MKC.json, period 31 Mar 2026) lists T. Rowe Price Investment Management at 5,700,426 shares, its 7th largest holder at 2.24% of the non-voting class. Verified independently by fetching that entity's Q2 2026 information table (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1897612/000189761226000578/infotable.xml): 738 rows, 734 distinct issuers, no row for either McCormick CUSIP (579780206 or 579780107) and no McCormick issuer name in any spelling. Recorded as a note with NO row, because a null row would render a completed exit as 'current holder, size unknown'. Both figures are noted here because the page shows the curated register and the 31 Mar 2026 13F register together, so the difference would otherwise read as a disagreement rather than a quarter's trading.
• Vanguard reports McCormick through 8 active entities, not 2: Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Co (1,425,898 sh), Vanguard Investments Australia (129,339 sh), Vanguard Asset Management Ltd (567,429 sh), Vanguard Personalized Indexing Management (40,259 sh), Vanguard Global Advisers (549,974 sh), Vanguard Capital Management LLC (16,607,445 sh), Vanguard Portfolio Management LLC (13,850,739 sh), and Vanguard National Trust Co (289 sh), summing to 33,171,372 shares / $1,672,500,575 as of 2026-06-30. The parent, The Vanguard Group, Inc. (CIK 0000102909), filed Form 13F-NT (a notice carrying no holdings) for this period, so the family total is genuinely the sum of these successor entities rather than a substitution for one parent row. Three further Vanguard-named entities checked in the same sweep (Vanguard Marketing Corporation CIK 0000217448, Vanguard Advisers Inc CIK 0000947529, Vanguard Capital Wealth Advisors CIK 0001730578) filed 13F-HR for the period but held zero McCormick shares; a further CIK (0001105567, Vanguard V Venture Partners LLC) is an unrelated, long-defunct filer (last filed 2001) and was excluded. This full entity list was enumerated from data/registers/MKC.json (a 31 Mar 2026 snapshot) for names only; every share and value figure above was refetched from each entity's own fresh Q2 2026 13F-HR filing per the brief.
• Morgan Stanley (CIK 0000895421) holds both classes: 4,932,093 shares of Common Stock Non-Voting (CUSIP 579780206, $248,676,204) included in the register row above, plus a separate 81,235 shares of voting Common Stock (CUSIP 579780107, $4,102,386) as of 2026-06-30, reported in the same 13F-HR. The voting-class shares are excluded from the register row's shares/pct_of_company (which use the non-voting denominator) to avoid mixing instruments; noted here instead. BlackRock's filing likewise shows 3 voting-class shares ($152) alongside its 20,948,941 non-voting shares; the voting shares are excluded from the register row for the same reason.
• HOLDINGS SIDE: McCormick de Mexico was McCormick's largest joint venture, held as a 50% equity-method investment through the FY2025 10-K (year ended 30 Nov 2025), where 'Investments in affiliates' was a single combined balance of $167.8 million (2025) / $152.2 million (2024) covering McCormick de Mexico AND smaller, unnamed joint ventures (McCormick de Mexico alone represented 93% of FY2025 income from unconsolidated operations, but the balance-sheet carrying value is not split by venture in the filing, so that combined balance is not assigned to any one venture and is not used as value_usd anywhere in this file). On 2 Jan 2026, McCormick acquired an additional 25% of McCormick de Mexico from Grupo Herdez for $750.0 million cash, taking its stake to a 75% controlling interest that is now fully consolidated (10-Q for the period ended 31 May 2026). Exhibit 21 of the FY2025 10-K is a bare subsidiary name list with no ownership-percentage column, so it could not be used to size any other joint venture.
• Self-gate computed on the final file exactly as the register chart computes it (sum of raw shares across all rows; no is_aggregate/rolls_up_into rows are present in this register, so no reduction applies): 10 rows, 122,663,122 shares, against company.shares_outstanding of 254,055,150 (Common Stock Non-Voting, the same instrument as every row's pct_of_company). That is 48.28% of the company, within the 15-55% acceptable band described in the research brief.
• company.market_cap_usd is approximate: computed as (voting shares 14,796,402 + non-voting shares 254,055,150) x a ~$54.85/share price sourced from a web search of aggregator sites (Yahoo Finance / Tipranks / Macrotrends) reporting prices around $54.20-$55.23 for the week of 17 Aug 2026, not from a filing fetched with filing.py; treat this figure as approximate rather than filed.
