AI Cybersecurity Threat Cycle: Palo Alto's Top Active Holders
AI-generated phishing, deepfake-driven social-engineering, and automated vulnerability discovery are dominating cybersecurity headlines this week. Palo Alto Networks is the largest US-listed pure-play cybersecurity name. The institutional book carries the conviction layer underneath the headline cycle.
April Building Materials Spike: Home Depot's Active Holder Tilt
April US retail sales beat at +0.5% was driven primarily by autos and building materials. Home Depot is the levered building-materials read, and the institutional book carries two distinctive Capital Group overweights at 0.72% and 0.76% portfolio weight.
Wells Fargo Holders If Warsh Gets the Fed: Wellington at 4x Index
Yesterday's piece covered Berkshire's 10.38% Bank of America position as the levered bet on a hawkish-bias Fed. Wells Fargo's holder book reveals a different conviction signature: Wellington Management at 1.18% portfolio, roughly 4x the WFC index weight, is the largest active overweight.
Stryker Heiress Trims SYK; Family Trust at 51% Portfolio
Ronda Stryker, granddaughter of Stryker Corporation's founder, sold $91.7 million of SYK in February at $361-369. The cumulative ledger is now $1.85 billion. Read the Form 4 alongside the family trust's Schedule 13D and the concentration story changes — the heiress retains a 4% beneficial stake while Greenleaf Trust holds SYK at 51.45% of its portfolio.
Tim Cook Bought Nike Twice — $58.97 in Dec, $42.43 in April
Tim Cook sits on Nike's board. His Form 4 reports two open-market Nike purchases: 50,000 shares at $58.97 in December 2025, and 25,000 more at $42.43 in April 2026. The Apple CEO is averaging down on Nike inside his outside-board fiduciary capacity — and most retail readers will miss that the signal exists.
Hormuz Tape Meets Chevron: Berkshire's 7.24% Conviction Position
If the Hormuz tanker corridor tension persists, integrated oil majors get a sustained free-cash-flow tailwind. The single largest conviction position in Chevron is Berkshire Hathaway at 7.24% of its $274 billion portfolio. The second is Fisher Asset Management at 1.54%.
Warsh Fed Chair: Berkshire Owns 10% of Bank of America

Target (TGT) Tape: Active Managers Underweight Into Retail Beat
Commerce Department reported April retail sales up 0.5% — better than consensus. Target should be the levered beneficiary in a consumer-discretionary 13F screen. Open the book, however, and the conviction layer is conspicuously thin.
Zoom Founder Yuan's Class A Now at 36,796 — AQR Holds 0.55%
Eric Yuan's April 13-14 sales took his direct Class A holdings of Zoom to just 36,796 shares — a number that looks like an exit but isn't, given the founder's Class B economics. Meanwhile AQR's 0.55% portfolio overweight reads as the active conviction signal.
DDOG CTO Le-Quoc Cashless Exercise Hidden in Form 4 M Codes
Datadog's CTO and co-founder Alexis Le-Quoc filed a Form 4 covering Class A sales at $130-133 in late April. The Table I S codes are not the whole story — paired Table II M codes show the cashless exercise pattern that converts option strike economics into open-market sales.
CLARITY Act and MSTR: Tidal Holds 6.08% Portfolio Stake
The crypto industry is making its loudest CLARITY Act push of the year. Strategy (MSTR) — formerly MicroStrategy — sits at the center of the institutional crypto-equity book. The top 6 holders are mostly market makers; the real active conviction is at Tidal Investments at 6.08% portfolio.
Hormuz Oil Crisis: Reading Exxon's 4,970-Institution Holder Book

TMUS Coverage JV: SoftBank Still Holds 37% of Its 13F in T-Mobile
AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon announced a three-way coverage JV. The most interesting T-Mobile holder isn't a US asset manager — it's SoftBank Group, still sitting on a $5.79 billion stake that represents 37.42% of SoftBank's entire 13F portfolio.
Kurtz Sells CRWD at $549; Jennison Holds 1.55% Overweight
George Kurtz unloaded a granular block of CrowdStrike between $541 and $549 on May 12. The CEO's cumulative ledger is now over $700 million. The institutional book reaction is the more interesting tell — Jennison Associates is still 1.55% portfolio overweight.
Roku Founder Wood Drains Class A on May 11 Pop — Class B Intact
Anthony Wood ran his Class A position at Roku to zero across four days in May after the stock cleared $128. Read the Form 4 wrong and you'd conclude the founder exited. Read it right and the 16.2 million Class B shares — and the voting control — are still there.
JPM Wins Tech IB Lead — But 5,277 Holders Are All Index-Weight
JPMorgan's early-stage banking bet is paying off in tech IB league tables, Reuters reports. The catch: with 5,277 institutional holders and almost every one of them sitting near 1% portfolio weight, no active manager is positioned for the IB rebound specifically.

Capital Research Global Investors filed a SC 13G on May 14, 2026 disclosing 7.60% / 10.85M Carvana shares. CEO Ernie Garcia III's recent Form 4 activity is RSU vesting plus tax-withholding, not discretionary selling. The 13D/G stack on CVNA is unusually active.
Honda Scraps EV Targets: HMC's Value-Manager Holder Base
Honda is scrapping its 2030 EV sales targets after disclosing a $9B annual loss tied largely to the EV transition. The 13F record on HMC's US-listed ADRs shows a holder base dominated by deep-value managers — the exact cohort least surprised by this decision.
