These reports are filed quarterly and disclose the institutional investor's holdings of publicly-traded companies.

In the Q4 2022 13F filing, Greenwood Gearhart Inc disclosed a total of 54 holdings, which is five more than in the previous quarter. The total value of its holdings increased from $392,102,000 in Q3 2022 to $407,253,000 in Q4 2022, a growth of 3.86%.
