Millennium's slight reduction below 5% removes the need for ongoing 13D/G filing obligations, but the passive certification and small reduction suggest no imminent activist campaign. Monitor the company's Q3 full earnings call for further operational details and any commentary on shareholder engagement.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Millennium Management (via Integrated Core Strategies) filed an amended Schedule 13G disclosing a 4.5% passive stake in Better Home & Finance as of September 30, 2026, down from 5.2% in the prior filing. The filing confirms the group remains a passive investor below the 5% threshold, with no activist intent. This comes just after the company reported preliminary Q3 results that missed revenue guidance and showed a wider-than-expected EBITDA loss, partly due to proxy-related expenses.
