Dimensional Fund Advisors LP reported a [5.5% position in Gap](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000354204/000035420426001090/xslSCHEDULE%5F13G%5FX01/primary%5Fdoc.xml?ref=bullished.co), or 19,186,720 common shares, in a passive ownership filing (Schedule 13G) dated Thursday. The event date in the filing is September 30.

## What the filing says

Dimensional reports [sole voting power over 18,820,280 shares](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000354204/000035420426001090/xslSCHEDULE%5F13G%5FX01/primary%5Fdoc.xml?ref=bullished.co) and no shared voting power. The firm is an investment adviser based in Austin, Texas.

The shares are owned by funds Dimensional advises or manages, including four registered investment companies plus commingled funds, group trusts and separate accounts. The filing says Dimensional disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities.

It also says that, to Dimensional's knowledge, no single fund holds more than 5% of the class. Dimensional certified that the shares were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business, not to change or influence control of Gap.

## What it changes

Little changes in control terms. A passive 13G is the lighter filing used by holders who say they are not seeking influence, and this one says exactly that.

Gap shares traded at $23.27 in Thursday trading, down about 1.4% from the prior close of $23.61 (market data). The stock's market cap was $8.3 billion. The shares remain below their 52-week high of $29.36.

A [Zacks report on Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/gap-stock-climbs-25-3-133600655.html?.tsrc=rss&ref=bullished.co) said the stock rose about 25% over three months while the apparel retail industry declined. It added that the Gap brand posted positive comparable sales for an 11th straight quarter, while Old Navy faced weaker seasonal assortments and slowing traffic.

## Dividend dates

Gap's quarterly dividend is $0.18 a share, with an ex-dividend date of October 7 and payment due October 28, according to a [Yahoo Finance analysis](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/gap-incs-dividend-analysis-110115258.html?ref=bullished.co).

Payment of the $0.18 dividend is due October 28.
