How this is computed

  • Each verified move is counted once, in the month and on the weekday of its 8-K filing date (the filed field, as EDGAR records it).
  • Weekdays are computed from the calendar date; EDGAR's acceptance time of day is not used.
  • Only verified records count: drafts never build. A share whose base is zero is shown as not established, never as 0%.

What the record cannot tell you

  • The earliest filing on the record is from June 2026, and the newest month may still be in progress, so month totals are not comparable to a full year.
  • A filing month says when the 8-K was filed, not when the change took effect; see the notice period study for that gap.
  • The record holds the filings CFO Tribune has read and verified, not every filing made. Each figure describes that record only.
