No Street Capital sold 265,000 shares of Chart Industries (worth ~$53.7 million) in Q4 2025, reducing its stake despite the company achieving $1.01 billion in adjusted EBITDA. The sale likely reflects portfolio rebalancing toward higher-growth tech and consumer names, as Chart's 9% annual return underperforms the S&P 500's 17% gain. The pending Baker Hughes acquisition at $210/share also limits upside potential.
