Shares of department store Dillard's are surging close to 30% on Monday after a regulatory filing revealed that Ted Weschler, one of the highest ranking money managers at Warren Buffett's storied conglomerate and investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway, owns a nearly 6% stake.
Weschler now owns 1,081,000 shares of Little Rock, Ark.-based Dillard's–equal to roughly 5.89% of the firm's shares outstanding, the filing notes. Shares of Dillard's soared as much as 40% on Monday, pushing the firm's market capitalization well past $1 billion, and settling at about $55 per share as of 3 p.m. EDT, about 30% higher than Friday's closing prices.
Dillard's stock is still down nearly 22% for the year, but the retailer is now doing much better than its peers: The S&P 500 Department Stores Index is down about 54% in 2020.that Weschler also has substantial personal stakes in healthcare company DaVita and Liberty Media Corp, which owns stakes in SiriusXM, the Atlanta Braves and Formula One; both are firms in which Berkshire also has large stakes.
