Six-year record

Ownership flow

13 institutions tracked — 8 added, 4 reduced, 1 opened a new position.

NORGES BANK holds a position with no prior filing to compare against, so its change is unknown rather than zero — and it is left out of the totals above.

From 13F filings, which cover institutions managing over $100m and are filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — so this is a considered position, not a live one, and it is not the whole shareholder register.

Capital returned

What the company actually paid out and bought back, as reported — the record behind any yield figure.

Other general industrial machinery & equipment, nec companies

NORDSON CORP files under SIC 3569 — all 4 general industrial machinery & equipment, nec companies compared on assets and F-score.
