Nelson Peltz sells entire Disney stake weeks after losing proxy battle

Activist investor Nelson Peltz has sold his entire stake in Disney, a person familiar with the matter tells CNBC.

Peltz sold all of his stock at close to $120 dollars a share, the person said, making about $1 billion on the position. The stock currently trades for about $100 per share.

The exit comes weeks after Trian's Peltz lost a proxy battle at Disney in early April as shareholders reelected the company's full slate of board nominees. Peltz had been seeking to elect himself and former Disney Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo to the company's board.

Peltz had long taken issue with Disney governance, taking particular aim at the company's streaming strategy and a failed succession plan for CEO Bob Iger.
