Quarters are the three-month figures the company reports; a fourth quarter marked derived is the fiscal year less the three reported quarters, since companies report it only inside the 10-K. Fiscal years are the annual figures. Buybacks are the cash the company paid to repurchase its common stock in the year, not the amount authorized. Balance sheet lines are as of 2026-03-31; shares outstanding as of 2026-04-22 from the cover page.

What this page is

Principal Financial Group in the regulatory record

Regulators publish company data in separate files that never sit next to each other: FINRA's twice-monthly short interest, its daily short sale volume, the SEC's fails-to-deliver counts, and each insider's Form 4. A company page puts those series for one ticker on one URL, with planned sales, large holders, 13F holders and financials beside them, so the short position, the daily flow, the settlement fails and what insiders are doing can be read together.

Each section has its own history table, a one-line summary of the latest figures and its own JSON and CSV links, and says when its source last updated.

This page follows Principal Financial Group (PFG), SEC CIK 1126328, listed on Nasdaq, classified by the SEC as accident & health insurance. The cross-market tables live on the short interest and insider transactions hubs.

How to read it

  • Read the position against the flow: rising short interest with a high daily short share is new shorting; rising short interest with a normal short share is old shorts holding on.
  • Insider buys next to a large short position are rare and stand out; insider sells next to one are common and mean little.
  • Fails to deliver matter relative to the float, not in absolute shares; a million failed shares in a mega cap is noise.
