What did Gerald J. Ford report?

The SEC Schedule 13D shows that Gerald J. Ford filed a Schedule 13D/A on Oct 16, 2026. The filing reports 15,651,329.97 shares, 27.3% of the class of Hilltop Holdings Inc. (HTH).

A Schedule 13D/A is an ownership filing. The figures describe the reported ownership, not the dates on which shares may have been bought.

How does the filing date relate to company results?

The filing was made 85 days after Hilltop Holdings’ results announcement on Jul 23, 2026, recorded as an 8-K Item 2.02. The pack does not state that the filing was caused by or connected to that announcement.

What other records are available for HTH?

The CFPB complaint database recorded 5 complaints naming the company over the 4 months from Jun 1, 2026. A complaint is a consumer’s own account, not a finding.

FINRA short interest for HTH on the settlement date of Sep 30, 2026 was 2,403,875 shares, down −5.89% on the previous report, and about 5.44 days of average volume.

In 13F filings for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, the largest positions that grew were Hotchkis & Wiley Capital Management LLC, which increased 9,640 shares, and Zacks Investment Management, which increased 9,126 shares. Royce & Associates LP and Caxton Associates LLP were the largest positions that shrank; both sold out. A 13F is a quarter-end snapshot with no trade date.

What was reported around the filing date?

Press coverage listed by Finnhub included “Hilltop Holdings Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call and Webcast,” published by Yahoo, Oct 14, 2026. The headline is listed as published by the outlet; OQRO has not checked it and does not summarize the article.

HTH closed at $36.77 on Oct 15, 2026, the last session on or before the filing date. From Sep 15, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026, the close moved from $38.99 to $36.77, a change of −5.7%. These price moves are context only; the filing does not explain them, and other news can move a price. More public filings and records are available on Hilltop Holdings Inc. on OQRO.

What this does not tell you?

A Schedule 13D or 13G is an ownership filing, not a trade, and does not say when shares were bought. The filing does not explain the share-price moves; other news can move a price.

The complaint records are consumers’ own accounts, not findings. The 13F information is a quarter-end snapshot with no trade date. Headlines are listed as published by the outlets; OQRO has not checked them and does not summarize articles.

This describes public filings. It is not investment advice.
