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 775 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
775 managers reported a position, together holding 38.9m shares, or 65.3% of the company. The 40 largest are listed. Percentages are of a share count taken later than this quarter, because the count in force at the snapshot is not published as a structured fact for this company. Where the count has moved since, the figures are off by that much.
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 STRUCTURE, one basis chosen: shares_outstanding (59,582,239) is the TOTAL of Class A (37,700,963, NYSE: RL, 1 vote/share) and Class B (21,881,276, unlisted, 10 votes/share, convertible 1-for-1 into Class A at the holder's election), both from the 10-Q cover page dated 31 Jul 2026. Every register row's `shares` and `pct_of_company` is stated on this combined, total-company basis. Institutional 13F holders hold Class A only (CUSIP 751212101); their percentage of Class A alone (stated in each row's method_note) is roughly 60% higher than their percentage of the whole company, because Class A is only 63.3% of total shares outstanding. Ralph Lauren himself holds both a small Class A stake and effectively all Class B; his row states the combined economic total, with voting power (85.5%, driven by Class B's 10x vote) kept out of the shares/pct_of_company fields and stated only in his method_note, per the brief's instruction that pct_of_company is economic ownership, not voting power.
- Cross-check against the proxy's own stated splits: the 2026 DEF 14A states Class A currently represents 'approximately 14% of the voting power and 64% of the economic ownership' and Class B 'approximately 86% of the voting power and 36% of the economic ownership'. Recomputed independently from the cover-page share counts: Class A economic = 37,700,963 / 59,582,239 = 63.28% (~64%, matches); Class B economic = 21,881,276 / 59,582,239 = 36.72% (~36%, matches); Class A voting = 37,700,963 votes / 256,513,723 total votes (37,700,963 x1 + 21,881,276 x10) = 14.70% (~14%, matches); Class B voting = 218,812,760 / 256,513,723 = 85.30% (~86%, matches). This independent recomputation from the raw share counts agrees with the proxy's rounded prose, cross-validating both the share counts and the 10-votes-per-share figure.
- Holdings side: searched Ralph Lauren's most recent 10-Q (period 27 Jun 2026, filed 6 Aug 2026) and most recent 10-K (fiscal year ended 28 Mar 2026, filed 21 May 2026, plus Exhibit 21.1 subsidiaries list) for 'equity method', 'equity investment', 'joint venture', 'non-marketable', 'unconsolidated', 'minority interest'. The only hit in either filing is a generic accounting-policy paragraph describing how the equity method is applied when RL owns 20-50% of an investee (boilerplate, names no investee), and a single balance-sheet line 'Equity method and other investments' inside Other non-current assets: $10.2m (27 Jun 2026), $5.9m (28 Mar 2026), $3.1m (29 Mar 2025). This is a combined balance covering an unknown number of unnamed investees; per the brief's rule on combined balances, it is NOT attributed to any single holding and no holdings row is recorded for it. Exhibit 21.1 lists ~70 subsidiaries, every one Ralph Lauren/Polo/PRL-branded and wholly owned (Delaware, Hong Kong, France, China, etc.), no ownership-percentage column, and no joint-venture or third-party-named entity. Conclusion: Ralph Lauren Corporation holds no material identifiable equity stake in any other listed or private company; holdings is legitimately empty, and the $10.2m combined 'equity method and other investments' balance is reported here rather than sized to any target.
- Capital Group checked and found to hold NOTHING in Ralph Lauren as of Q2 2026: all three registrants read directly from their own Q2 2026 13F-HR information tables (Capital World Investors CIK 0001422849, filed 12 Aug 2026, 637 rows; Capital International Investors CIK 0001562230, filed 12 Aug 2026, 446 rows; Capital Research Global Investors CIK 0001422848, filed 12 Aug 2026, 426 rows). No row in any of the three matches 'RALPH LAUREN' or CUSIP 751212101. No row recorded; this is a genuine negative rather than an omission.
- T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. (CIK 0001897612) checked and found to hold NOTHING in Ralph Lauren as of Q2 2026 (own 13F-HR, filed 14 Aug 2026, 738 rows, no match for 'LAUREN' or the CUSIP). Only T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (CIK 0000080255) holds a position; see its register row. Both T. Rowe registrants file 13F values in THOUSANDS, applied correctly in the Associates row.
- Self-gate computed from this final file, using the chart's own arithmetic (members roll up into their container at full value, the aggregate they roll into is reduced by exactly that amount, everything else counts at full value): 9 register rows. Members map: Ralph Lauren (21,954,383 shares) rolls into 'All directors and executive officers as a group (15 persons)'. The group row's `shares` field stores its RAW filed total (22,140,326, required so it is at least the sum of its members per scripts/overlap.py); the gate reduces it by the member amount to its residual (22,140,326 - 21,954,383 = 185,943) and uses THAT reduced figure in the sum below, per the brief's own gate formula. Total = 21,954,383 (Ralph Lauren) + 4,717,591 (Vanguard family) + 3,023,566 (BlackRock) + 1,869,070 (Fidelity) + 1,474,842 (State Street) + 1,179,488 (Geode) + 1,128,550 (Invesco) + 729,542 (T. Rowe Associates) + 185,943 (directors/officers group residual) = 36,262,975 shares. Divided by shares_outstanding 59,582,239 = 60.87% of the company, on the combined Class A + Class B basis.
- This 60.87% figure is above the brief's 55% flag threshold and was checked for the three usual causes of an inflated register before shipping: (1) mixed instrument: every institutional row is the same CUSIP 751212101 Class A common stock, read directly from each holder's own Q2 2026 13F-HR, cross-validated by a tight implied-price band of ~$400-402/share across all seven institutional filers including the thousands-corrected T. Rowe Associates row; (2) mixed basis: Ralph Lauren's row and the directors/officers group are both stated on the same combined-class economic basis as every other row, with voting power kept out of the shares field entirely; (3) double counting: Ralph Lauren's Class B and small Class A stake are counted once, in his own row, and explicitly subtracted from the officers group's filed total via `rolls_up_into`/residual so they are not counted twice; Vanguard is one summed family row (parent filed 13F-NT, successors are the position, no double-add); Capital Group and T. Rowe Investment Management were checked and found to hold zero, so they contribute no phantom shares. The elevated total is a real, sourced feature of this company rather than an artifact: one founder beneficially owns literally 100% of the Class B share class, which alone is 36.85% of the combined-class denominator, and that is added to substantial (though not exhaustively swept beyond the top 7) institutional ownership of the separately-traded Class A pool. This is exactly the founder/dual-class case the brief anticipates running above the normal band.
- Market cap methodology: 59,582,239 total shares (31 Jul 2026 cover-page count, both classes, since Class B converts 1-for-1 into Class A and both classes participate equally per share in dividends and liquidation per the 10-Q equity note) multiplied by a live Class A quote of $378.75 (Nasdaq API, 19 Aug 2026, 3:22pm ET) = $22,566,773,021. This assumes Class B carries the same per-share economic value as Class A (true given the 1-for-1 conversion right and identical dividend/liquidation terms disclosed in the 10-Q); it is a computed figure, not one read directly off a single page that states market cap, and the price date (19 Aug) and share-count date (31 Jul) do not exactly match because no single filing carries both.
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.
- No independent 13D/13G sweep was run beyond what the DEF 14A's own 5%-owner table and the Q2 2026 13F-HR filings surfaced, so any strategic or sovereign holder below 5% and outside the top institutions checked here (Vanguard, BlackRock, Fidelity, State Street, Geode, Invesco, T. Rowe Price) would be missed. data/registers/RL.json lists many further institutional names (AQR, Two Sigma, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Qube, First Trust, Boston Partners, Jennison, Morgan Stanley, Fuller & Thaler, Ameriprise, Allianz, Voya, Dimensional, BNY Mellon, Truist, Charles Schwab, Bank of America, Fisher, Northern Trust, Quantinno, UBS x2, Wellington, Millennium, Envestnet, Alyeska, Pictet, American Century, D.E. Shaw, Point72, Amundi, Victory Capital) that were not individually refreshed for Q2 2026 here; none is disclosed in the proxy as a 5%+ Class A holder, so all are presumed smaller than the 8 institutional rows recorded, but this was not verified for every name.
- Named individual director and executive officer holdings below the group aggregate (Louvet, Ranftl, Picicci, Alagoz, D. Lauren, Ahrendts, Bennack, Conde, Cupp, Findley, George, Jarrett, Walker, Zhang) were read from the 2026 proxy but not itemized as separate register rows, all being below 1% of Class A individually; only the 15-person aggregate (net of Ralph Lauren) is recorded.
- Market cap is a computed figure (live intraday price times the 31 Jul 2026 combined-class share count), not a figure read directly off one page that states market cap for both classes together; see the note on the date mismatch and the Class A/Class B equivalence assumption.
