Caption Management 13F: Cuts Peabody Energy (BTU) Stake by $4.8M

Caption Management Trims Peabody Energy Holding

Caption Management scaled back its investment in Peabody Energy Corporation NYSE:BTU, according to a Form 13F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The fund cut its position by 56.4%, selling 206,000 shares during the period. That adjustment left the firm holding 159,000 shares at the close of the quarter.

Inside the Reduced Position

The reduction brought a notable shift to the fund's portfolio exposure in the energy sector. Caption Management started the period with 365,000 shares of the coal producer. After offloading more than half of that stake, the remaining holdings carried a total value of roughly $3.68 million. Because 13F filings look backward at past quarters, this snapshot reflects holdings as of May 15, 2026, and may not represent the fund's exact current position today.
