The short answer

D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P. filed a Schedule 13G on Oct 16, 2026, reporting 5,471,380 shares, or 5.1% of Sweetgreen (SG). The filing records an ownership position, not the date shares were bought. Other public records include short-interest data, quarter-end 13F positions, press headlines and share-price moves around the filing.

What did D. E. Shaw report in the filing?

The SEC Schedule 13G filed by D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P. on Oct 16, 2026 reports 5,471,380 shares, 5.1% of the class of Sweetgreen (SG).

A Schedule 13G is an ownership filing, not a trade record. The filing does not say when shares were bought.

How does the filing date relate to Sweetgreen’s results?

The filing was made 63 days after Sweetgreen’s results announcement on Aug 6, 2026, recorded as 8-K Item 2.02.

The date of the results announcement gives timing context. The filing does not explain the reported ownership in relation to that announcement.

What other ownership and short-interest records are available?

FINRA short interest for SG on the settlement date of Sep 30, 2026 was 24,914,611 shares, -1.8% on the previous report, or about 4.52 days of average volume.

In 13F filings for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, the largest positions that grew were Susquehanna Portfolio Strategies, LLC, which increased 323,761 shares, and Divisadero Street Capital Management, LP, which increased 15,331 shares. The largest positions that shrank were Baillie Gifford & Co, which reduced 159,553 shares, and Voleon Capital Management LP, which reduced 85,692 shares.

A 13F is a quarter-end snapshot with no trade date. These positions do not provide the timing of trades.

What headlines and share-price moves were listed around the filing?

Finnhub listed the headlines “Sweetgreen Finds More Ways to Grow” from Yahoo on Oct 12, 2026, and “Sweetgreen: Needs More Than A Wrap” from SeekingAlpha on Oct 12, 2026. Finnhub also listed “Sweetgreen to Announce Third Quarter 2026 Results on November 5, 2026” from Yahoo on Oct 8, 2026. OQRO has not checked the headlines and does not summarise the articles.

SG closed at $9.57 on Oct 8, 2026, the last session on or before the filing date. From Sep 8, 2026 to Oct 8, 2026, the close moved from $6.95 to $9.57, a change of +37.7%. From Oct 8, 2026 to Oct 16, 2026, the close moved from $9.57 to $10.04, a change of +4.9%.

What this does not tell you?

The Schedule 13G reports ownership, not a trade date, and does not explain share-price moves. Other news can move a price. The listed headlines are presented as published by the outlets; OQRO has not checked them and does not summarise the articles.
