In a recent 13F filing from July 7, 2026, it was revealed that Olstein Capital Management, founded by value investor Robert Olstein, sold its entire stake in Microsoft (MSFT). The filing, which reflects holdings as of June 30, 2026, showed the firm sold 16,700 shares, liquidating a position previously valued at approximately $6.18 million. Investors are reminded that 13F filings disclose past positions and do not represent current trading activity.
This move comes as Olstein Capital Management's fund business was in the process of being acquired by Easterly Asset Management, a transaction that was expected to be voted on by shareholders around the end of the reporting period. Olstein's investment approach is rooted in a deep analysis of a company's financial statements and free cash flow to find undervalued securities.
