Trian Partners founder Nelson Peltz said he’s holding on to DuPont stock after losing a high-profile proxy battle earlier this year. Noting the stock has fallen from around $80 a share at the time of the vote to around $59, Peltz told the Delivering Alpha conference sponsored by CNBC and Institutional Investor. “If the election was held today, what do you think the results would be?” Peltz asked during a panel discussion. Peltz said he was holding on to shares of DuPont, saying he would rather be “rich than right.”
