42/ 70
Level 3Stakeholder

Dell owns 45.7% of Dell Technologies Inc., worth $142.92B at the last close.

SEC filings
316
Stake 45.7% of the class on the latest 13G/A — a stake no board can route around 35/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed
Tenure No start date on record, so tenure scores nothing 0/10
Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction Net seller — 6.3M shares ($1.00B) sold in the last year 0/15
Discipline 2 late Form 4s in 316 filings 7/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Why the two headline numbers differ

The 13G/A cover page counts the 265.7M shares the person can vote today. The Forms 4 add 30.0M more — typically an award that has not vested, which the person disclaims until it does. Never add them together.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.
