General Dynamics Corporation

The full register, from 13F filings

The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 2,179 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.

Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.

What a reader needs to know to read these numbers

• The Crown family block is the reason this company matters for the register. It is captured entirely through Longview Asset Management, LLC (CIK 0001086477), the Henry Crown and Company family office's asset manager, which reported 27,060,944 shares (10.0%) on both its own Form 13F-HR (quarter ended 30 Jun 2026, filed 14 Aug 2026) and the 2026 DEF 14A's 5%-holder table. The 2026 proxy statement was searched for the string 'Crown' and returned zero hits: no individual named Crown appears anywhere in the Security Ownership of Management table, the director-nominee biographies, or elsewhere in the filing. This means no roll-up is needed between the Longview row and any insider row: the Crown family currently has no board seat and no individually disclosed beneficial-ownership line, so the entire family position sits in the single Longview row with holder_type 'strategic' (closest fit; it is a family-office managed block, not a passive index fund, hence not 'index' despite Longview technically being an investment adviser). Historically a Crown family member (James D. Crown) sat on the General Dynamics board and was reported to hold shares individually in past proxies, in addition to the Longview-managed family block, but James Crown died in June 2023 and no successor Crown family member currently appears as a director or named executive officer in the 2026 proxy, so there is no current-year double-counting risk to guard against with a rolls_up_into tag.
• General Dynamics does not file Form 13F under its own CIK 0000040533. The EDGAR submissions JSON for this CIK (checked 17 August 2026) lists 10-K, 10-Q and DEF 14A filings going back to 2019 and contains no 13F-HR or 13F-NT of any vintage, consistent with GD being an operating company (a defense contractor and aircraft manufacturer) rather than an institutional investment manager.
• The holdings list is empty and that is the sourced finding, not a gap. Both the FY2025 Form 10-K (period ended 31 December 2025, filed 30 January 2026) and the Q2 FY2026 Form 10-Q (period ended 5 July 2026, filed 29 July 2026) were fetched and searched for 'equity method', 'unconsolidated', 'joint venture', 'non-marketable', 'nonmarketable', 'measurement alternative', 'cost method', 'strategic investment', 'minority investment' and 'equity investment'. The only substantive hit in either filing is a single sentence in the fair-value-measurement accounting policy note: 'Our Level 3 assets include direct private equity investments that are measured using inputs unobservable to a marketplace participant,' tied to a Level 1/2/3 fair-value table line item 'Other investments' totalling $40 million, of which $12 million is the Level 3 (private equity) slice, $28 million is Level 1. No investee name, ownership percentage, or per-position value is disclosed for any part of this $12 million, so per the brief it is recorded as null in holdings rather than assigned to any single company; the combined $12 million figure is recorded here instead. This is immaterial (0.01% of GD's ~$107bn market cap) and almost certainly reflects diversified fund-of-funds style private-equity fund commitments rather than a single strategic operating stake.
• GD's own accounting policy note separately states 'We record equity method investments initially at cost, and periodically update the carrying value based on activity associated with our investment,' but neither the FY2025 10-K nor the Q2 FY2026 10-Q discloses a dollar balance, an investee name, or an ownership percentage for any equity-method investment; the only dollar figure findable anywhere near these terms is the $40 million 'Other investments' / $12 million Level 3 line above.
• Shares outstanding used for company.shares_outstanding (270,557,195) is the Q2 FY2026 10-Q cover-page count as of 5 July 2026, filed 29 July 2026. This differs from stockanalysis.com's rounded 270.15 million (14 August 2026) and from the FY2025 10-K cover-page count of 270,389,759 (31 December 2025); all three are noted here to show consistency rather than a conflict, they are simply measured on different dates as share buybacks and issuances continue. Register rows dated 30 June 2026 use the 10-Q's 270,557,195 as the closest available denominator; the Vanguard row (dated 31 December 2025) uses the FY2025 10-K's 270,389,759; the three proxy-sourced insider rows and the Longview cross-check use the proxy's own 270,845,862 as of its 11 March 2026 record date.
• GD has a single class of common stock, $1 par value, one vote per share. There is no dual-class structure.
• Market capitalisation of $106.92 billion is the figure published by stockanalysis.com as of 14 August 2026 at a closing price of $395.78. Cross-check: 270,557,195 shares x $395.78 implies approximately $107.1 billion, consistent within rounding.
• Newport Trust Company, LLC's own 13F-HR share count (13,398,261, as of 30 June 2026) is lower than the 2026 DEF 14A's 13,576,419 (undated but presumably close to the 11 March 2026 record date); both are recorded here (the 13F figure in the register row, the proxy figure in this note) rather than overwritten, since the small difference is plausibly ordinary 401(k) plan participant flows between the two dates rather than a genuine disagreement.
