Baidu, the search colossus turned AI pioneer, stands at a crossroads of paradoxes. Its $41.02 billion market cap looms over China’s digital landscape, yet its shares-a 42.85% surge year-to-date-reflect a hunger that outpaces the S&P 500 by nearly 30 points. The company’s dual nature-Baidu Core’s ad-cloud engine and iQIYI’s streaming ambitions-mirrors the duality of modern capitalism: relentless growth versus the weight of human expectation.

According to the cryptic scrolls of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Oaktree initiated a new position in Core Scientific during the third quarter. The fund, in its infinite quest for value, purchased 6.4 million shares, their worth estimated at $114.8 million as of September 30. This addition swelled Oaktree’s collection of 13F reportable positions to 62, each a fragment of a larger, unknowable tapestry.

On November 13, 2025, the SEC filed a report revealing Appaloosa LP had added 5,233,908 shares of Whirlpool Corporation (WHR) during Q3. The total position now clocks in at $432.30 million, making Whirlpool the fund’s third-largest holding. For context, that’s roughly the amount I spent on my last vacation-minus the part where I actually went anywhere.

VOO’s expense ratio is so low, it’s basically a coupon for 10% off at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Meanwhile, QQQ charges more than your gym membership-but promises returns that’ll make your head spin faster than a NASDAQ ticker board.

The sale reduced BOND’s presence in the fund’s portfolio from 7.5% of reportable assets under management to a mere 0.4%, a diminution as stark as the fading light of a waning star. The top holdings that followed bore the weight of their own histories, each a testament to the capriciousness of markets: DCOR, DFIC, UDFEM, FAS, and SPIB, their values etched in percentages that spoke of both triumph and trepidation.

The filing reads like a confession: Triata sold every share of Baidu (BIDU) it owned. The stock, now trading at $122.59, had climbed 45.8% year-to-date, a performance that left the S&P 500 in its dust. Yet the fund, once holding 7.9% of its assets in Baidu, now holds none. The transaction is not a verdict on the company’s soul but a shuffle of the deck, a rearrangement of chips in a game where the house always wins.

Norwood’s filing reads like a financial thriller. They sold 538,610 shares of Driven Brands in Q3, reducing their position by over 70%. The fund’s DRVN stake plummeted from 10.24% to 3.32% of 13F assets under management. I’m imagining the analysts at Norwood whispering in hushed tones, “Maybe we overestimated this one.”
The remaining 239,438 shares now sit at the 11th-largest holding in their 15-stock portfolio. Poor DRVN-downgraded from fourth to eleventh in a single quarter. If stocks had social media, it would be a DM storm of “Why did you leave me?”

November 12, 2025, saw a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that revealed Sierra Summit Advisors LLC’s complete abandonment of Baidu stock. The sale of the 128,915 shares effectively ended the fund’s position in the Chinese tech giant. A modest sum of $11.06 million marks the ‘net change’ – a fancy term that signifies the amount of profit or loss that the fund claims to have incurred.

As the third quarter waned, Seven Grand Managers, with a flourish befitting a master of chess, increased its stake in Galaxy Digital by an additional 750,000 shares. With this maneuver, their total holdings now stand at 2 million shares, valued at a notable $67.6 million. The increase of $40.2 million, based on quarterly pricing, was-naturally-disclosed to the public via an SEC filing. The kind of paperwork that makes you wonder if the money’s made in investments or in creating these official documents.

A recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that venerable arbiter of all that is public and proper, confirms the rather theatrical curtain fall on Roubaix’s engagement with TriMas. The firm, once a modestholder, sold some 212,822 shares-an act that could be mistaken for a firm’s attempt to exit stage left-estimates place the final tally at a rather neat $6.09 million, derived from average quarterly prices. As of this moment, the portfolio stands as barren as a saint’s cell, with TriMas vanishing entirely from their holdings. One might conclude that in a dance of the stock market, Roubaix has gracefully bowed out just as the orchestra hit the crescendo.
