RESEARCH — THE FILING TAPE #89

Twelve of 147: One Holder Is 61.3% of the Superinvestors' Prologis Stake. Its Insiders Have Bought Once.

October 15, 2026

GetCoattail Research — The Filing Tape #89. Prologis reported third-quarter earnings today and beat the FFO consensus, and the filings describe a logistics landlord the full market kept adding to while the tracked cohort stayed concentrated: 12 of the 147 superinvestors we track hold it and one is 61.3% of that stake, six of the twelve trimmed in Q2, its insiders sold once in 90 days against exactly one open-market purchase — of 13 shares — in the entire parsed record, Congress appears in none of our three aggregates, the 5% register holds no 13D-family filing at all, and the borrow has risen 61.1% in a year to 2.03% of the share count.

The Hype

Prologis is the San Francisco logistics landlord behind much of the world's warehouse space, and today is its earnings day. It reported third-quarter 2026 results on October 15, with funds from operations of $1.60 per share against a $1.58 Zacks consensus — a 1.27% surprise — on revenues of $2.21 billion that topped the consensus by 0.24%, against $2.05 billion a year ago, according to Zacks, which notes it has beaten FFO estimates in three of the last four quarters. The quarter being followed was also a beat: second-quarter FFO, reported July 16, came in at $1.63 against a $1.53 consensus, on revenues of $2.18 billion that beat by 1.68%. Barchart's earnings spotlight named Prologis second among Thursday's reporters, behind only Charles Schwab and ahead of BNY, U.S. Bancorp and PNC, and StockTwits' premarket rundown carried it in the same list. It also paid its quarterly dividend of $1.07 a share on September 30. Shares opened Thursday at $130.50. Our price file is more muted: the stock closed October 2 at $128.91, down 14.1% from its 252-session closing high of $150.06 on July 16, and up just 1.0% year to date. The filings below describe who held it, who sold it, and who was borrowing it.

The Tape

For Prologis — the eighty-ninth Filing Tape audit, on the expanded roster described in the notes — the tape shows a 12-name cohort whose largest holder is almost two-thirds of the position, a full market that added filers and shares, an insider record with 1 sale in a quarter against one 13-share purchase in its whole history here, no congressional row in any aggregate, a 5% register with no 13D-family filing, and a borrow that has built for a year while staying below its 2022 peak.

Lens 1 — the superinvestors: 12 holders, one of them 61.3% of the stake. We now track 149 large, mostly long-only managers whose 13F portfolios we collect directly from SEC EDGAR — 147 filed for the second quarter (see the roster note below). As of June 30, 2026, 12 held Prologis long, totalling 11,366,218 shares worth $1,535,923,387, with no option rows, under a single CUSIP. CenterSquare Investment Management is the largest holder, with 6,971,950 shares worth $944,490,067 — 61.3% of the cohort — at an 8.06% portfolio weight, labelled INCREASED (+11.9%). Resolution Capital holds 1,788,986 shares worth $242,353,933 — 15.7% of the cohort — labelled DECREASED (-24.1%), the deepest cut in the register; the top two together are 77.1% of the position. Mondrian Investment Partners is third at 1,033,598 shares, labelled INCREASED (+9.5%); the remaining nine run from Sarasin & Partners' 685,281 shares down to Guinness Asset Management's 2,264. Of the 12 continuing holders, 6 are labelled DECREASED, 4 INCREASED and 2 UNCHANGED, and no manager is NEW or exited in full. This audit does not publish a quarter-to-quarter cohort total: 11 of the 12 continuing holders verify row by row and one does not, and we do not publish a cohort total built on partial verification (see methodology). 13F figures are as of June 30, 2026; funds have up to 45 days to file, so this picture is complete — and always lagging.

Prologis through six filing lenses
Chart 1: Signal presence by cohort (n = 12 superinvestor holders of 147 filing managers). Superinvestors: 2026Q2 13F, as of Jun 30, 2026. Institutions: full-market 13F aggregation, same date (n = 1,726 filers). Insiders: Form 4 through Oct 2, 2026 (n = 147 filings). Congress: PTR aggregates through Oct 3, 2026 (Senate file through Oct 1, 2026) — no row for this name in any of the three. 13D/G: parsed filings through Jun 4, 2026 (n = 5 filings). Short interest: FINRA settlements through Sep 15, 2026 (n = 137 settlements). Source: SEC EDGAR; FINRA; GetCoattail collections.

Lens 2 — institutions: 80 more filers, 128.8 million more shares. At June 30, 2026, 1,726 institutions reported positions, up 80 from 1,646 at March 31 (+4.86%); 1,719 are long. Reported shares rose 17.26%, from 746,266,389 to 875,048,142 — a gain of 128,781,753 shares. Reported value rose 22.43% to $112,750,463,822, labelled "reported" because the aggregate includes option rows (see methodology). The flow fields agree: 1,414 filers entered and 1,334 exited, a net of +80 matching the holder-count change.

Lens 3 — insiders: 1 sale in 90 days, and one purchase of 13 shares in the entire parsed record. The parsed Form 4 record holds 147 filings through October 2, 2026, and across all of it there is exactly one open-market purchase transaction: 13 shares for $1,395.42, by 1 buyer — and it is not an officer purchase. It sits inside the one-year window: the last 90 days hold 0 purchases, and the one-year window holds that same single purchase. Sale transactions number 14 across the full record: 172,326 shares for $22,572,878.60, by 7 sellers. The last 90 days hold 1 sale: 50,000 shares for $7,495,500.00, by 1 seller. The one-year window holds 10 sales (134,829 shares, $18,315,034.82, 5 sellers) beside the single 13-share purchase.

Lens 4 — Congress: no row in any of the three aggregates. The combined record (as of October 3, 2026), the House aggregate (same date) and the Senate aggregate (as of October 1, 2026) each carry no row for this name — a recorded absence in all three files, not an estimate of zero trades by any other route.

Lens 5 — the 5% register: five filings, all passive, no 13D at all. Our full parse holds 5 SC 13D/G filings matching the site aggregate exactly — no SC 13D-family filing and five SC 13G-family filings (three SC 13G/A and two SC 13G), three of the five amendments, with five reporting-person rows across four names — most recently filed June 4, 2026. The register maximum is 10.0%: BlackRock, Inc. reports 93,407,943 shares as of May 31, 2026, filed June 4, 2026 as SC 13G/A, and that filing is also the register's latest. BlackRock's earlier row prints 86,220,147 shares at 9.3% as of June 30, 2025. The Vanguard rows are separate reporting persons as filed: Vanguard Capital Management at 70,146,227 shares and 7.52% as of March 31, 2026, Vanguard Portfolio Management at 53,991,110 shares and 5.79% on the same date, and The Vanguard Group at 0 shares (0.0%).

Lens 6 — short interest: 18,883,429 shares, up 61.1% in a year, 11.8% below the 2022 peak. The series covers all 137 FINRA settlements in the collection, from January 15, 2021 to September 15, 2026, with a Prologis row at every settlement — no symbol gap. As of September 15, 2026, 18,883,429 shares were sold short, up 6.60% from the prior settlement (17,714,037 on August 31, 2026), at 5.94 days to cover. The series maximum is 21,408,598 shares on September 30, 2022 (verified by a maximum query over the series), so the latest reading sits 11.8% below the peak; the series minimum is 7,174,118 shares on April 15, 2021. Against the year-ago settlement (11,720,242 on September 15, 2025) the latest is up 61.1%, and against the June 30, 2026 settlement of 13,048,598 shares it is up 44.7%. Against 932,338,000 shares outstanding, the borrow is 2.03% of the share count.

The Gap

The narrative arriving with today's report is delivery: an FFO beat this morning — $1.60 against $1.58 — after a larger one in July, revenue beats in both quarters, a $1.07 dividend paid in September, and a full market that spent Q2 adding this landlord: 80 more filers and 128,781,753 more shares, a 17.26% build, in a quarter when the price rose just 2.5%. The filings describe the tracked cohort's part in narrower terms. Twelve of 147 managers hold the name at all. The position is concentrated — CenterSquare alone is 61.3% of it, the top two are 77.1% — and it leaned both ways: six holders are labelled DECREASED, including the second-largest, whose -24.1% is the deepest cut, against four increases led by the largest holder's +11.9%. The insider record is thinner still: one purchase of 13 shares in the entire parsed record, none in the last 90 days, against 14 sales, 1 of them in the last 90 days for $7,495,500.00. Congress is not a small print here; it is no print at all — no row in the combined, House or Senate aggregates. The 5% register holds no activist and no 13D-family filing: its five prints are BlackRock and Vanguard entities, the largest at 10.0%. And the borrow is the one lens moving the other way: 18,883,429 shares, 2.03% of the share count, up 61.1% from a year ago and 44.7% since the June 30 settlement, even as it stays 11.8% below its September 2022 peak. One plausible reading is that the quarter's buying was broad and institutional while the tracked cohort's conviction stayed narrow and concentrated, and the borrow quietly rebuilt against it. The record supports each clause separately; it does not say what this morning's earnings change.

Six of the 83 superinvestors we track hold Tesla — one name is 84.8% of the cohort — and the cohort cut its aggregate share count 33.2% in the second quarter while all institutions added 27.9%, insiders filed one report in 90 days with zero purchases in a year, and short interest sits at 1.74% of shares outstanding.
80% Overlap, No Copycat Signal: Congress vs. the Superinvestors
Four of five congressional stock buys land in a stock the superinvestors hold — 688 shared names. But ticker by ticker, how often Congress buys a stock has almost nothing to do with how many managers hold it (ρ = 0.099), and the shared names did not pay better.
