Activist investor Daniel Loeb’s Third Point LLC has bought new stakes in T-Mobile US Inc. and Colgate Palmolive Co. , and sold off holdings on EV maker Rivian Automotive Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., among other investment decisions, according to a filing late Monday.

In a letter to Disney /zigman2/quotes/203410047/composite DIS +0.21% , the fund, which manages about $14 billion in assets, suggested cost cuts, a continuation of the dividend halt in order to conserve cash, and a spinoff of Disney’s ESPN business, among other proposals.

Third Point also bought more nearly 1.99 million shares of Colgate Palmolive /zigman2/quotes/200774077/composite CL +1.14% , and nearly half a million shares of T-Mobile /zigman2/quotes/204659678/composite TMUS +1.04% .
