Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 32) – Oil-Dri Corporation of America (NYSE: ODC) was filed on 26 June 2025, updating the share ownership of a long-standing group of investment entities led by Mario Gabelli.
The filing lists seven principal reporting entities, with GAMCO Asset Management Inc. holding the largest stake at 794,512 shares, representing 7.7 % of ODC’s outstanding common stock. Gabelli Funds LLC reports ownership of 164,200 shares (1.6 %), while Teton Advisors Inc. controls 15,000 shares (0.1 %). GGCP Inc., GGCP Holdings LLC, Associated Capital Group Inc., and Mario J. Gabelli personally report no direct beneficial ownership in this amendment.
All reported positions are disclosed as having sole voting and dispositive power; no shared power is indicated. Source of funds is primarily investment advisory or working capital ("OO" or "WC"). The disclosure does not detail any new acquisition transactions, financing arrangements, or intentions regarding corporate actions – it is limited to the updated share counts and ownership percentages.
The combined holdings disclosed elevate the Gabelli/GAMCO group’s influence within ODC, with the largest single block near 8 %. While not constituting formal control, such a position can be material in proxy matters and strategic decisions, especially given Mario Gabelli’s activist track record. However, the amendment provides no commentary on plans or proposals under Item 4, leaving the group’s strategic intent undisclosed.
