"Berkshire Hathaway’s R. Ted Weschler Bought Up Dillard’s Stock"

"Berkshire Hathaway investment manager and one of Warren Buffett ’s lieutenants R. Ted Weschler disclosed a large position in embattled retailer Dillard’s.

Dillard’s (ticker: DDS) stock has tumbled nearly 43% so far this year through Friday’s close. The department-store chain had seen sales tumble and losses widen even before the coronavirus pandemic. Dillard’s stock was removed from the S&P 400 in June 2020 as the company “is no longer representative of the midcap market space,” S&P Dow Jones Indices said in a press release at the time. One observer noted that Dillard’s was among retailers that “face elevated bankruptcy risks.”

Weschler disclosed he had overall ownership of 1.08 million Dillard’s shares, a 5.89% stake, as of Friday. The timing of his purchases of Dillard’s stock wasn’t noted, but he crossed the 5% threshold on Sept. 29, necessitating the filing of a form with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The stake doesn’t represent a Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.B ) investment.

He noted in the form, “Certain securities reported in this Schedule 13G are held in a trust for the benefit of family members. "
