Nordson Corporation

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 699 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

• Shares outstanding (55,717,948) is taken from the cover page of the 10-Q for the quarter ended 30 Apr 2026 (filed 21 May 2026, 'as of May 19, 2026'). This is the newest cover-page count available: Nordson's fiscal year ends in late October, so its FY2026 10-K will not be filed until around December 2026, and no Q3 FY2026 10-Q (period ending 31 Jul 2026) had been filed as of 19 Aug 2026, only an 8-K/press release (filed 19 Aug 2026) reporting weighted-average share counts for EPS, which is a different figure from shares outstanding and was not used here.
• Holdings side: searched Nordson's FY2025 10-K (filed 17 Dec 2025, period ended 31 Oct 2025), its Q1 FY2026 10-Q (period 31 Jan 2026) and Q2 FY2026 10-Q (period 30 Apr 2026) for 'equity method', 'equity investment', 'investment in', 'non-marketable', 'joint venture', 'unconsolidated', 'minority interest', and 'affiliate'. Nordson discloses only generic accounting policy language for equity-method affiliates/joint ventures (no dollar figures, no names) and a combined 'minority interests in certain companies that do not have readily determinable fair values' balance under the ASC 321 measurement alternative: $13,996 thousand at 31 Oct 2025 and $5,040 thousand at 30 Apr 2026 (the drop reflects one investment moving out of this bucket into fair-value accounting, see the holdings entry above). This remaining $5.04m combined balance still covers multiple unnamed companies with no disclosed split, so per the brief it is not assigned to any named holding; it is recorded here and in unknowns instead.
• Exhibit 21 to the FY2025 10-K (List of Subsidiaries) was checked for an ownership-percentage column, per the Pentair technique. It carries none: it is a plain two-column table of subsidiary name and jurisdiction of incorporation, and its own header states every listed entity 'is included in the Registrant's consolidated financial statements' (i.e. 100%-owned and controlled). No joint ventures, no percentage-owned footnotes, no equity-method affiliates appear in it. This is treated as a genuine negative (the Labcorp/Darden pattern), not evidence of looking in the wrong place.
• Nord family / founder ownership: Jennifer A. Savage (Nord family descendant, trustee of several Nord family trusts including Eric T. Nord Trusts) holds 2,945,523 shares (5.29% of current shares outstanding) per her Schedule 13G filed 2 Jan 2025. She is not a director, nominee, or executive officer of Nordson and does not appear in the 2026 proxy's director or NEO tables, so her position sits outside 'Directors and Executive Officers as a Group' and is not rolled up into or double counted with that row.
• The 2026 proxy's Five Percent Beneficial Owners table DID include Vanguard (10.9%, from a stale Feb 2024 13G/A), unlike the Allegion/Emcor gap described in the chunk prompt; all three institutional 13G citations in the proxy (Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street) were refreshed here against each filer's own Q2 2026 13F-HR, which is more current.
• Capital Group: the project's own registers/NDSN.json snapshot (31 Mar 2026, entity list only) contains no Capital Group entity at all, down to its smallest listed holder (189,616 shares, 0.34%). Checked directly against each of the three commonly-cited Capital Group registrants' own Q2 2026 13F-HR information tables (Capital World Investors CIK 0001422849, Capital International Investors CIK 0001562230, Capital Research Global Investors CIK 0001422848, and by CUSIP 655663102 directly): none holds Nordson as of 30 Jun 2026. Recorded as a checked-and-found-nothing negative, not a row, per the Snap-on precedent.
• T. Rowe Price: T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (CIK 0000080255) holds 77,478 shares ($23,375 thousand, i.e. $23,375,000; T. Rowe reports values in thousands) as of 30 Jun 2026, implied price ~$301.68/share, i.e. 0.14% of the company. T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. (CIK 0001897612) holds none. Given the position is small relative to the top 8-12 threshold used for this register (below FMR/Fidelity's 840,395 shares), it was checked but not added as a row.
• Implied-price check: every institutional row above (Vanguard family, BlackRock, State Street, Geode, Kayne Anderson Rudnick, Morgan Stanley, Invesco, FMR, and the checked-but-excluded T. Rowe Price Associates row) implies a per-share price between $300.79 and $302.47 as of 30 Jun 2026, i.e. internally consistent with no values-in-thousands mismatches on any included row.
• Self-gate (computed from this final file on disk, chart arithmetic: every row counts at full value because the one is_aggregate row, Directors and Executive Officers as a Group, has no separate member rows rolled into it): 10 register rows, 24,017,511 total shares, 55,717,948 shares outstanding, 43.11% of the company.
