The short answer

BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA filed a Schedule 13G reporting 11,044,470 shares, or 5.49% of Sable Offshore’s class. The filing was made Oct 19, 2026, 51 days after the company’s Aug 10, 2026 results announcement. The filing reports ownership, not the date or details of any purchase.

What did Bank of Nova Scotia file?

BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA filed a Schedule 13G on Oct 19, 2026, reporting 11,044,470 shares, 5.49% of the class of Sable Offshore (SOC).

The filing is an ownership disclosure. It does not state when shares were bought, and the pack does not give a transaction date for the reported position.

How does the filing line up with company results?

The Schedule 13G was made 51 days after Sable Offshore’s results announcement on Aug 10, 2026, recorded as an 8-K Item 2.02. That timing places the ownership disclosure after the results announcement, but the filing does not explain the timing or describe any relationship between the events.

What other ownership filings are on record?

Fund 13F filings recorded in the 90 days to Oct 19, 2026 show 1 new or larger position and 0 smaller or closed positions in Sable Offshore. In 13F filings for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, BW Gestao de Investimentos Ltda. increased its position to 885,448 shares, while Longaeva Partners L.P. had a new position.

SCS Capital Management LLC and Alyeska Investment Group, L.P. were listed among the largest positions that shrank, with both marked sold out. A 13F is a quarter-end snapshot with no trade date, so those filings do not establish when a position changed.

What records and market context surround the filing?

FINRA short interest for SOC on the settlement date of Sep 30, 2026 was 54,185,657 shares, up 16.16% on the previous report, or about 6 days of average volume. SOC closed at $3.46 on Sep 30, 2026, the last session on or before the filing date. From Aug 31, 2026 to Sep 30, 2026, the close moved from $4.83 to $3.46, a change of −28.4%. From Sep 30, 2026 to Oct 16, 2026, it moved from $3.46 to $3.32, a change of −4.0%.

Finnhub listed the headlines “William Blair Initiates Coverage of Sable Offshore at Outperform” from Fintel and “William Blair Initiates Coverage On Sable Offshore with Outperform Rating”, both dated Oct 5, 2026. Finnhub also listed “Sable Offshore Corp. Provides Operational Update” from Yahoo, dated Sep 28, 2026.

What does the court record show?

Federal court records list 1 securities suit naming Sable Offshore filed since Jul 2, 2025. The latest, “Tracy Johnson v. Sable Offshore Corp.”, was filed Jul 28, 2025 in the District Court, C.D. California and is still open.

A filed suit is a claim, not a finding. Many securities suits are dismissed or settled without any finding of fault.

What this does not tell you?

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

The headlines are listed as published by the outlets. OQRO has not checked them and does not summarize the articles. This describes public filings and is not investment advice.
