Regions Financial Corporation
No equity stake in another company appears in Regions Financial Corporation's filings. That is the sourced answer, not a hole in the research.

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 1,057 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
1,057 managers reported a position, together holding 703.1m shares, or 82.4% of the company. The 40 largest are listed. Percentages are of the 853.4m shares outstanding at 6 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
- The 13F exclusion, the Regions case. Regions Financial Corporation itself files a Form 13F: for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 (filed 10 Aug 2026, accession 0001281761-26-000058, CIK 0001281761), the cover page is a '13F COMBINATION REPORT' naming Regions Bank, Regions Investment Management, Inc. (CIK 0001082809) and Highland Associates Inc (CIK 0000716187) as included managers. Its summary page reports tableEntryTotal 1,041 positions with tableValueTotal $16,750,869,578 (about $16.75 billion). This is Regions' wealth management, trust and investment advisory book, client assets managed on behalf of others, not the Bancorp's own strategic balance-sheet stakes. Per the brief's exclusion of client-held positions, no line item from this filing appears in holdings, the same treatment this project's fifth-third.json applies to that bank's own 13F.
- The securities investment portfolio is excluded as a category, not sized as holdings. The FY2025 10-K balance sheet shows debt securities held to maturity of $5,606 million (fair value $5,584 million) and debt securities available for sale of $27,560 million (amortized cost $28,134 million) at 31 Dec 2025, overwhelmingly Treasuries, agency and non-agency mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities held for liquidity and interest-rate management, not equity stakes in named companies. A separate 'marketable equity securities' line of $946 million (2025) / $819 million (2024), disclosed in Note 7 'Other Earning Assets', 'primarily consist of assets held for certain employee benefits and money market funds', not disclosed by issuer, and is excluded on the same basis: no individual investee is named or sized.
- FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock are excluded and are not equity stakes. The FY2025 10-K's Note 7 'Other Earning Assets' states Regions held Federal Reserve Bank stock of $492 million and FHLB stock of $104 million at 31 Dec 2025 (both $492 million and $140 million respectively at 31 Dec 2024), 'a requirement for all banks seeking membership into and access to the services provided by these banking systems'. These are non-transferable membership stock, carried at cost and redeemable at par, correctly excluded from holdings per the brief.
- Regions does NOT currently hold Visa Class B shares. Both the FY2025 10-K and the Q2 2026 10-Q state 'Visa class B shares expense is associated with previously sold shares. The Visa class B shares have restrictions tied to finalization of certain covered litigation', describing a residual escrow-funding expense tied to a swap on shares Regions already sold in a prior period, a derivative-adjacent liability rather than a current equity position. No Visa Class B share count or conversion ratio was found because none currently exists to report; no Visa holding was added to holdings.
- Equity method investments are a combined balance covering unnamed investees, not assigned to any one investee. The FY2025 10-K's Note 7 states equity method investments 'consist primarily of investments in SBICs [Small Business Investment Companies] and private equity funds', with net balances of approximately $217 million (2025) and $198 million (2024) recognized in other assets. No individual fund or underlying company is named and no split by investee is disclosed, so per the rule against assigning a combined balance to one investee, no holdings row was created and this is reported here and in unknowns instead.
- A second combined, unnamed bucket: equity investments carried at cost under the measurement-alternative to fair value, disclosed in the same Note 7 as consisting 'primarily of investments in strategic partners and certain CRA [Community Reinvestment Act] projects', with a carrying amount of $64 million (2025) and $65 million (2024). Again no individual strategic partner or project is named, so no holdings row was created for this bucket either; reported here and in unknowns.
- Low income housing tax credit and economic development limited partnerships are reasoned about explicitly as financing structures, not operating-company stakes, and excluded. The FY2025 10-K's VIE note states Regions 'periodically invests in various limited partnerships that sponsor affordable housing projects and economic development projects, which then provide tax credits to Regions', is 'not the primary beneficiary of these partnerships' (so they are not consolidated), and discloses 'tax credit investments included in other assets' of $1,608 million (2025) / $1,471 million (2024) as Regions' maximum exposure to loss across all such partnerships combined. This is a combined, unnamed-investee balance in a vehicle whose purpose is generating tax credits under the proportional-amortization method of accounting, not an operating-company equity stake; excluded per the brief's guidance on tax-credit and low-income-housing vehicles, and reported here and in unknowns rather than assigned to holdings.
- Separately, Regions' FY2025 10-K shareholders'-equity note discloses total equity included noncontrolling interest of $60 million (2025) / $31 million (2024) representing the unowned portion of ONE low income housing tax credit fund syndication that Regions DOES consolidate (an unconsolidated-VIE label in the filing notwithstanding, the presence of a Regions-side noncontrolling interest indicates Regions is the controlling sponsor of this particular syndication). This is the reverse direction from a Regions equity stake in another company: it describes minority investors' claim on a vehicle Regions itself controls, so it is excluded from holdings as a financing/sponsorship structure rather than an investment Regions holds in someone else.
- Holdings are empty by design, a sourced finding rather than a gap. Both the Q2 2026 10-Q and the FY2025 10-K were searched for 'equity method', 'unconsolidated', 'joint venture', 'non-marketable', 'low income housing', 'tax credit', 'Federal Home Loan Bank', 'Federal Reserve Bank' and 'Visa Class B'. No named, individually sized operating-company equity stake was found in either filing; every equity-flavored balance disclosed is either a combined bucket covering multiple unnamed investees, a tax-credit financing vehicle, membership stock, or securities/trading inventory excluded per the brief.
- Regions has a single class of common stock (plus non-voting preferred series RF-PC, RF-PE, RF-PF, not part of this register). No merger or large share issuance was found in the period covered: the SEC XBRL dei:EntityCommonStockSharesOutstanding series declines steadily and smoothly from 908,863,765 (4 Nov 2024) to 851,929,506 (5 Aug 2026), consistent with ongoing share buybacks (the FY2025 10-K states common stock repurchased during 2025 decreased shareholders' equity by $1.1 billion, all shares immediately retired) and inconsistent with a merger-driven jump; company.shares_outstanding uses the Q2 2026 10-Q cover-page figure (851,929,506 at 5 Aug 2026), and every register row's pct_of_company uses that same denominator regardless of the as-filed date of the underlying source, so no basis-date split by row was needed.
- The proxy's own 5-percent-holder table (based on filers' own Schedule 13G/13G-A calculations, dated between Jan 2024 and Dec 2025 depending on the filer) lists The Vanguard Group, Inc. at 117,699,356 shares (13.58%), BlackRock, Inc. at 88,029,893 shares (10.15%), and State Street Corporation at 57,570,108 shares (6.64%), each stale by more than a year relative to Q2 2026. Per this project's chunk-19-to-27 lessons, fresher Q2 2026 13F-HR figures are used instead for all three; each is materially SMALLER than its stale proxy-quoted 13G figure (see each row's method_note), demonstrating a stale 13G can overstate as easily as understate.
- Capital Group holds no Regions position. All three Capital Group Q2 2026 13F-HR filers, Capital World Investors (CIK 0001422849), Capital International Investors (CIK 0001562230) and Capital Research Global Investors (CIK 0001422848), were checked directly and none reports a CUSIP 7591EP100 line or a 'REGIONS' name-fragment match; unlike this project's fifth-third.json, where the Capital Group family was a top-4 holder, Regions is not a Capital Group position at all as of Q2 2026.
- Self-gate check, computed with the exact chart formula in the research brief and the chunk-prompt's aggregation rules: 10 register rows. Every row counts at full value except the aggregate 'Directors and executive officers as a group (22 persons)' row, which is reduced by the one member that rolls into it (John M. Turner, Jr., 1,104,576 shares) to a residual of 1,758,473. Total: 104,921,278 + 81,326,428 + 50,667,092 + 24,125,742 + 17,977,505 + 8,849,540 + 3,342,035 + 1,271,689 + 1,104,576 + 1,758,473 = 295,344,358 shares, against 851,929,506 shares outstanding, or 34.67%, within the expected 25 to 45 percent range.
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.
- Whether any Vanguard-affiliated 13F filer beyond the 8 entities enumerated from data/registers/RF.json holds additional Regions shares; all 8 known family entities were checked directly for Q2 2026 and summed, but a ninth or further entity outside that pre-built list was not separately searched for.
- Whether a Wellington-affiliated entity holds Regions shares; not checked in this pass given the time budget, and Regions' own proxy 5-percent table does not name Wellington.
- The identity and individual sizing of the SBICs and private equity funds inside Regions' $217 million (2025) / $198 million (2024) equity method investment balance; the FY2025 10-K's Note 7 gives only the combined total and does not name any individual fund or portfolio company.
- The identity and individual sizing of the 'strategic partners and certain CRA projects' inside Regions' $64 million (2025) / $65 million (2024) measurement-alternative equity investment balance; no individual strategic partner is named in the 10-K.
- The identity of the individual limited partnerships inside Regions' $1,608 million (2025) tax credit investments balance (affordable housing and economic development projects); the 10-K discloses only the aggregate maximum exposure to loss, not a per-partnership breakdown.
- Dollar values for the two insider register rows (John M. Turner, Jr. and the 22-person directors/officers group) are null: the proxy's beneficial ownership table gives share counts as of 31 Dec 2025 but not a dollar value, and no sourced RF share price as of that specific date was obtained.
- Regions' Q3 2026 10-Q was not yet filed as of 18 Aug 2026 per its EDGAR submissions feed, so any equity-investment, tax-credit or Visa-litigation activity in that quarter is not reflected here.
