What it does

  • Activist vs passive: Schedule 13D (intent to influence) scored far above a passive 13G index holding.
  • Direction: inbound (someone is taking a stake IN this company) vs outbound (this company is taking a stake in another).
  • Filer identification: the actual holder/activist pulled from the filing header.
  • Item 4 purpose text: for every activist 13D, the filer's own stated intent (board seats, strategic review, sale) extracted from "Purpose of Transaction".
  • New vs amendment, plus an impact score 0-100 driven by filing type and recency.
  • A direct SEC.gov link for every filing.

Who uses activist-stake data

  • Traders and quants building event-driven and activist-campaign screens.
  • Fintech and research apps embedding 13D/G stake signals.
  • Competitive-intelligence teams tracking who is accumulating a position.

How it works

The tool reads the official SEC EDGAR submissions API (free, public, JSON), maps each ticker to its CIK, filters the 13D/13G filings, then reads each filing header to identify the holder and classify activist vs passive, new vs amendment. Clean and stable.

Example

GME in live data: GameStop itself disclosed a new Schedule 13D activist stake in eBay (outbound, impact 88), while RC Ventures / Ryan Cohen appear as inbound 13D/A amendments on GameStop.
