Warren Buffett sells remaining Constellation shares
Investor Warren Buffett has sold the last remaining shares he got when he attempted to take over Constellation Energy Group Inc.
The last of the stock, about 11 million shares, were sold to Barclays Capital Inc. for $27.25 apiece on Monday. Constellation shares rose 23 cents to $27.51 for the day.
Buffett, his company Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B), and that company’s subsidiary MidAmerican Energy, are each no longer stockholders in Constellation (NYSE: CEG), according to a form with the Securities and Exchange Commission filed Monday.
