Reported 13F long positions as filed for 2026-Q1 (change vs 2025-Q4). 13F covers US-listed long equity only — the sum is a LOWER BOUND on institutional ownership, never a total. Institutional 13F holdings sum to 107.2% of shares outstanding. Readings above 100% reflect securities-lending double counting: shares on loan to short sellers are reported long by both the lending institution and the one that bought them. FINRA short interest of 2,236,574 shares (settlement 2026-04-30) accounts for the excess.

EPS and revenue as reported in this filer's own XBRL — our extraction of the filings, not a vendor consensus feed, and never a beat/miss claim (we carry no estimates). YoY compares the same fiscal quarter a year earlier. Next report 2026-08-10 is ESTIMATED from filing cadence (median gap 91d) — not company-confirmed.

product & service · each slice's share of TAGGED segment revenue in the latest annual filing (XBRL, as filed). Untagged revenue is excluded from the denominator, so slices need not sum to consolidated sales.

Basis & disclosures

End-of-day only. Every price on this sheet is a stored CLOSE — the last one is 2026-07-30. Nothing here is live, intraday or delayed-real-time, and the sheet does not update after it is printed.
Nothing is imputed. A figure that is not in the underlying filing or feed renders as “—”. We never fill a gap with an estimate, a peer median or a carried-forward value.
Mixed as-of dates by design. Prices are at the last close; fundamentals are at the latest reported fiscal period; 13F ownership is at the latest filed quarter (45+ days in arrears); short interest is the latest FINRA settlement. Each block states its own basis above.
Not investment advice. Model fair values, reverse-DCF grades and confidence labels are the output of published, disclosed methods on public filings — they are analysis, not a recommendation, a price target or a solicitation.
Fundamentals and ownership derive from SEC EDGAR (and equivalent foreign registers); prices from a licensed end-of-day vendor, shown under a neutral source label. Full methodology at spzco.com/methodology.
