Shareholders
5
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. is a widely held, publicly traded company with no majority shareholder. The Zavia registry card lists five institutional holders based on aggregated fund-level ownership data verified as of 4 September 2026: Vanguard Group Inc, reported at approximately 18.1% of outstanding shares; Vanguard Index Funds – Vanguard 500 Index Fund, at approximately 4.5%; UBS Group AG, at approximately 2.4%; Fidelity Concord Street Trust – Fidelity 500 Index Fund, at approximately 2.3%; and Vanguard World Fund – Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund, at approximately 1.2%. These are institutional beneficial-ownership positions and do not represent a complete list of all shareholders.
Ownership by large institutional asset managers such as Vanguard, UBS and Fidelity is typical for a Nasdaq-listed company of this size and reflects predominantly passive index and mutual-fund holdings rather than strategic or controlling stakes. Separate U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Schedule 13G filings made in 2026 show individual Vanguard-affiliated filers reporting holdings of roughly 7% following an internal reorganisation of Vanguard Group’s reporting structure in January 2026, indicating that aggregated “Vanguard Group Inc” figures may combine multiple affiliated filers and can shift as that reorganisation is reflected across future filings.
### Data availability
Major shareholders only: publicly available disclosure for a Nasdaq-listed issuer such as Palo Alto Networks, Inc. covers institutional holders that file beneficial-ownership reports with the SEC (Schedules 13D/13G/13F); it does not cover the complete shareholder register, which is not publicly disclosed for listed U.S. companies.
