The short answer

PACIFIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CO LLC filed a Schedule 13D/A on Oct 16, 2026, reporting 16,815,352 shares, or 48.8% of Freightcar America’s class. The filing records an ownership position, not when shares were bought. Other public records include a company Form 8-K filed the day before and market and ownership data from earlier dates.

What did PACIFIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CO LLC file?

The SEC Schedule 13D is a Schedule 13D/A filed by PACIFIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CO LLC on Oct 16, 2026. It reports 16,815,352 shares, 48.8% of the class of Freightcar America (RAIL).

The filing puts that reported ownership stake on record as of the filing. A Schedule 13D or 13G is an ownership filing, not a trade, and does not say when shares were bought.

How does the filing date relate to Freightcar America’s results?

The filing came 72 days after Freightcar America’s results announcement on Aug 3, 2026, reported in an 8-K Item 2.02. That timing places the ownership filing after the results announcement, but the filing does not state that the announcement was connected to the reported stake.

What other company filing came around the same time?

Freightcar America filed a Form 8-K of Oct 15, 2026 covering Items 1.01, 1.02 and 3.03, 1 day after the events described in the filing. OQRO classes the report as signed an important agreement, and ended an important agreement, with 1 more item.

An 8-K item says what the company reported, not what it means for the share price. The record provides the filing date and item numbers, not a conclusion about the effect of the reported matters.

What do the short-interest and 13F records show?

FINRA short interest for RAIL on the settlement date of Sep 30, 2026 was 1,190,169 shares, up 34.37% on the previous report, or about 3.39 days of average volume.

For the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, 13F filings show Kennedy Capital Management LLC as the largest position that grew, with a new position. Diamond Hill Capital Management, LLC (Investment Advisor) increased its position to 295,982 shares. Omers Administration Corp was the largest position that shrank and sold out. A 13F is a quarter-end snapshot with no trade date.

How did RAIL trade around the filing date?

RAIL closed at $6.02 on Oct 14, 2026, the last session on or before the filing date. From Sep 14, 2026 to Oct 14, 2026, the close moved from $6.82 to $6.02, a change of −11.7%.

These price moves are context only. The filing does not explain them, and other news can move a price. More company information is available on Freightcar America on OQRO.

What this does not tell you?

The Schedule 13D/A reports ownership, not the timing of purchases, and it does not explain the reported stake. The nearby 8-K describes what Freightcar America reported, not what those items mean for the share price. The 13F records are quarter-end snapshots without trade dates.

Share price moves are included as context only; the filing does not explain them, and other news can move a price. This article describes public filings and is not investment advice.
