Shareholders of Werner Enterprises, Inc.

Werner Enterprises, Inc. is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (ticker: WERN), so its shareholder base consists of public shareholders and institutional investors rather than a fixed private shareholder register. Under U.S. securities law, only investors holding 5% or more of a class of stock must publicly disclose their position, via Schedule 13D or 13G filings with the SEC; smaller holdings are not individually reported. Based on the most recent Schedule 13G filings located, disclosed 5%+ holders include FMR LLC (Fidelity), reporting approximately 6.3% of shares outstanding; Vanguard-affiliated funds, which reported approximately 5.93% in one 2026 filing before a related amendment reassigned certain holdings among affiliated Vanguard reporting entities; DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc., an investment adviser based in Winter Park, Florida, reporting 3,055,017 shares (5.1%) on a Schedule 13G filed 13 April 2026; and American Century Investment Management, Inc., reporting approximately 5.1%. All of these positions were filed on Schedule 13G, which is used for passive investment positions rather than filings that assert an intent to influence or control the company. No shareholder holds a majority stake.

Data availability

Shareholder disclosure for Werner Enterprises is major-shareholders-only: SEC rules require public reporting only for holders of 5% or more of outstanding shares, so the company’s full shareholder base, including the majority of its shares held by smaller institutional and retail investors, is not individually disclosed at this level.

Data availability

Officer and director information for Werner Enterprises is current-only, drawn primarily from its 2026 proxy statement and related SEC filings; historical appointment and resignation dates are not itemized in the sources reviewed. Filings routed through a state’s statement-of-information process, such as the California registration referenced in this profile’s information card, typically capture only a limited subset of officers (commonly a chief executive, secretary, chief financial officer and one director), which is why fewer individuals appear there than in the company’s full slate of nine executive officers and board members.
