What happened
A Franklin Templeton fund reported a value of $279.27 per share for Plaid Class A shares as of July 31, 2026. The figure comes from a monthly portfolio holdings report on Form N-PORT, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2026 for the period ending July 31, 2026. The SEC filing index names the filer as Franklin Strategic Series and the report as covering its Franklin Growth Opportunities Fund series.
Hottub Ventures, which publishes Plaid share price marks and links to the filing, listed the previous Franklin Templeton mark for Plaid Class A at $258.92 per share, as of June 30, 2026, and put the July 31 holding at $24M. It said only the last month of each fiscal quarter is made public, within 60 days. The mark was the fund's own reported value for the shares, and neither page described a transaction at that price. The pages read did not state a valuation for Plaid as a whole or a share count.

Why it matters
The filing gives a per-share reference for Plaid Class A dated July 31, 2026, set next to the $258.92 Franklin Templeton mark from June 30, 2026.
The sources describe a reported value and no sale. They do not show that any holder sold shares at $279.27, so the figure informs how Class A is valued rather than what a seller received.
Per Hottub Ventures, only the last month of each fiscal quarter is made public, within 60 days, so new public marks arrive with a delay.
