The filing also notes that 84.09% of SPOT is owned by hedge funds and other institutional investors.

For CMS Energy, Delta bought 13,377 shares worth about $935,000 in the fourth quarter. The article adds that institutional investors and hedge funds own 93.57% of CMS, and it highlights Pictet Asset Management Holding SA’s 70.9% increase—rising to 3,571,251 shares after buying an additional 1,481,779 shares.

For Bullish (BLSH), Delta initiated a position by buying 23,500 shares in the fourth quarter, valued at roughly $890,000. The piece also provides company trading/valuation context: BLSH opened at $25.98, had a market cap of $3.92 billion, and a price-to-earnings ratio of -3.97.

For Ross Stores, Delta cut its stake by 83.0% in the fourth quarter, leaving it with 2,853 shares after selling 13,899 shares; the holding was valued at about $514,000 in its most recent SEC filing.
5
For Modine Manufacturing, Delta purchased a new position of 9,280 shares worth approximately $1.239 million in the fourth quarter. The article also notes that institutional investors own 95.23% of MOD and cites recent analyst actions: Wall Street Zen upgraded Modine from “hold” to “buy” on May 30, and Oppenheimer raised its price target to $325 while reiterating an “outperform” rating.
Delta Global Management LP quietly reshaped its $1.22 billion portfolio in the fourth quarter, boosting its Spotify Technology stake to 59,697 shares and slashing its Ross Stores position by 83%. The moves signal a deliberate rotation away from discount retail and toward technology, utilities, and emerging financial platforms, according to Watchlist News.
The fund added shares in CMS Energy and Modine Manufacturing, and initiated a brand-new position in crypto-trading platform Bullish — all while cutting 13,899 shares of Ross Stores down to a token 2,853-share holding worth just $514,000.
Spotify and Bullish Bets Anchor Delta's Tech Pivot
Delta's Spotify stake grew modestly by 2.9%, adding 1,672 shares in Q4. At the end of the reporting period, the 59,697-share position was worth roughly $34.67 million, making it about 1.6% of the portfolio and its 12th-largest holding, Watchlist News reported. Hedge funds and institutional investors collectively own 84.09% of Spotify's outstanding shares.
The fund also took a fresh 23,500-share stake in Bullish, the crypto exchange platform trading under the ticker BLSH, valued at approximately $890,000. Bullish carries a market cap of $3.92 billion but a price-to-earnings ratio of -3.97, meaning the company is not yet profitable. The bet looks risky: JPMorgan slashed its price target on BLSH from $43.00 to $26.00 in June 2026, while Wall Street Zen downgraded the stock to "Sell."
Modine Manufacturing Shines as AI Cooling Play
Delta bought a new position of 9,280 shares in Modine Manufacturing, worth about $1.239 million. The timing looks sharp. In May 2026, Modine announced a $4 billion long-term cooling capacity deal with a major hyperscale cloud provider, according to Reuters. That contract includes a $165 million upfront cash payment, securing expansion without taking on heavy debt.
Analysts piled in after the news. Oppenheimer raised its price target on Modine to $325 and kept an "Outperform" rating, while Roth MKM pushed its target to $341. Wall Street Zen upgraded the stock to "Buy" on May 30. Institutional investors own 95.23% of Modine's shares, and the stock posted a 199% year-over-year return, according to Watchlist News.
CMS Energy Purchase Adds Defensive Ballast to Portfolio
Delta added 13,377 shares of CMS Energy in Q4, worth roughly $935,000. The utility stock serves as a stabilizer against the fund's higher-risk bets. Institutional investors own 93.57% of CMS Energy — one of the highest ownership rates in the portfolio, Watchlist News noted.
Delta was not alone in buying in. Pictet Asset Management Holding SA raised its CMS stake by 70.9%, adding 1,481,779 shares to reach a total of 3,571,251. That kind of large-scale accumulation by a global manager reinforces the view that utilities offer reliable cash flow in an uncertain macro environment.
Ross Stores Exit Reflects Fears Over Discount Retail
The sharpest move in Delta's Q4 filing was the 83% cut to its Ross Stores position. The fund sold 13,899 shares, leaving just 2,853 shares worth $514,000. The exit reflects broader concern about lower-income consumers. J.D. Joyce of Joyce Wealth Management warned that "a little bit higher fuel costs is going to be harmful to the lower side" of the consumer economy, citing rising oil prices tied to geopolitical tensions.
With Iran-Israel conflict driving oil prices higher through early 2026, discount retailers that serve price-sensitive shoppers face real pressure on margins and foot traffic. Delta's near-full exit from Ross Stores suggests the fund sees that pressure as lasting, not temporary.
