AI Analysis · Q4 2025

Dollar General's position in Beddow Capital Management's book gained nearly $2.4 million in value this quarter — and the manager was selling the whole time, cutting its share count by 7.1%. The same pattern shows up at Mesabi Trust (shares down 3.6%, value up $2.9 million) and Investor AB (shares down 3.3%, value up $1.8 million): all three trims were more than offset by rallying prices. That's not the dominant story, though — of roughly 50 tracked positions, 33 were trimmed in share count this quarter against only 10 increased, and total assets slipped 2.4% to $264.9 million. Oracle took the sharpest real cut, down 86.8% in shares. One number needs a caveat: Texas Pacific Land, still the largest position at 7.4% of the book, shows a share count that roughly tripled quarter over quarter while its dollar value fell slightly — a mismatch too large to read as a straightforward purchase, more likely a technical adjustment to the reported share count than fresh buying.

The breadth behind those individual trims is the real headline. Of the roughly 50 positions tracked this quarter, 33 were cut in share count and only 10 were added to — a heavily lopsided quarter toward selling, even before accounting for the price-masked trims above. Total assets slipped 2.4%, from $271.3 million to $264.9 million. Oracle took the sharpest genuine cut in the book: shares down 86.8%, a position that shrank from $5.3 million to $480,000 and effectively became a rounding error. IBM (down 8.4%), AbbVie (down 15.4%) and Berkshire Hathaway Class B (down 7.5%) were trimmed at a smaller, steadier pace.

The real adds were narrower and smaller. Copart's share count grew 44.4% to a $3.7 million stake, the most meaningful build of the quarter. Beddow also picked up one additional share of Berkshire Hathaway Class A — at roughly $755,000 a share, even a single-share add moves the needle — and modestly grew Diamondback Energy (up 6.7%) and Novartis (up 11%). Organon is worth flagging for the opposite reason from Dollar General: the manager added shares (up 2.4%) even as the position's dollar value fell more than $2.2 million, a case where buying more couldn't keep pace with a falling stock.
