13D stands for Schedule 13D, a stock market & investing abbreviation.
SEC disclosure an investor or group must file after acquiring more than 5 percent of a public company's voting shares with an intent to influence control, revealing the stake, funding sources and plans. Activist investors' 13D filings often move share prices.
Example: The activist fund's 13D says it will push the board to sell the company's consumer division.
Usage notes
Since 2024, the filing deadline is five business days after crossing the 5 percent threshold, down from ten calendar days. Passive investors without control intent can file the shorter Schedule 13G instead. Amendments are required for material changes, such as a 1 percent change in holdings.
