Johnny HopkinsStock Screener2 Comments

As part of the weekly research here at The Acquirer’s Multiple we’re always interested in superinvestors who hold the same stocks that appear in our Acquirer’s Multiple Stock Screeners, based on their latest 13F’s. Investors such as Warren Buffett, Joel Greenblatt, Carl Icahn, Jim Simons, Prem Watsa, Jeremy Grantham, Seth Klarman, Ray Dalio, and Howard Marks.

While doing this research we’ve also uncovered a number of stocks that superinvestors have sold, or reduced in their portfolios, according to their latest 13f’s. So we’re now providing a new weekly feature article called ‘One Stock Superinvestors Are Selling‘. This week we’ll take a look at:

Oracle Corp (ORCL)

Oracle provides database technology and enterprise resource planning, or ERP, software to enterprises around the world. Founded in 1977, Oracle pioneered the first commercial SQL-based relational database management system. Today, Oracle has 430,000 customers in 175 countries, supported by its base of 136,000 employees.

A quick look at the price chart below for the company shows us that the stock is up 16.84% in the past twelve months.

  1. This is confusing and unclear to me.
    Is this the number of shares they sold, the number of shares they are still holding onto?
    Without two numbers I don’t see how the data has value.
    If they had 2mil shares and now have zero, then that needs to be clearly shown, otherwise there is no valuable information here.

    Example:
    Ken Fisher – 17,587,320 sold, zero still held
    OR
    Ken Fisher – 3,000,000 sold, 17,587,320 still held

    This is objective and usable information and gives weight to your comments.

    Thank you for your time.

    1. Thanks for your comment.

      The data includes only the number of shares remaining in the investor’s portfolio after they sold the stock, according to their latest 13f.

      You will notice the heading shows (Remaining shares). E.g. David Tepper – 2,000,000 (Remaining shares).
