Charles de Vaulx’s International Value Advisors disclosed a nearly 20% activist position in Devry Education Group Inc. (NYSE:DV) back in June when the shares of the education company were trading around $17. Devry’s shares didn’t disappoint its new activist value investor and returned about 50% since then. Charles de Vaulx must have been satisfied with the progress and has been trimming his position since the stock hit $22 in July. Today, International Value Advisors amended its 13D filing and disclosing that its stake in Devry went down to 16.8%. You can see the details of the filing below or access the original SEC filing by clicking here.
We don’t think this is a negative indicator or a sign of loss of confidence. Devry’s weight in Charles de Vaulx’s portfolio is higher today than it was in June mainly because of the 50% gain in share price.
