Trian has purchased roughly 500,000 more shares since the end of March, giving it a total of 6.4 million, the report said, citing a person familiar with Peltz’s holdings.
The fund started the year with 9.4 million Disney shares, before cutting its stake by 34% by the end of March, according to the report.
Billionaire Peltz ended his quest for a board seat at Walt Disney after Chief Executive Bob Iger laid out plans for cutting 7,000 jobs as part of an effort to save $5.5 billion in costs and make the company’s streaming business profitable.
Walt Disney and Trian Fund Management did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
