CNBC/Institutional Investor held its fourth-annual Delivering Alpha conference Wednesday at the Pierre Hotel in Manhattan.

During the event, hedge-fund managers Carl Icahn, John Paulson, Leon Cooperman, Nelson Peltz and Ken Griffin mentioned a raft of stocks that were headlined in real time by Benzinga and widely covered by other media.

Some the stocks moved, some didn’t, and correlation doesn’t necessarily imply causation. Here’s a few of the stocks mentioned:

•At 3:50 p.m. Nelson Peltz told the gathering he’s dissatisfied with the performance of Family Dollar Stores Inc. (NYSE: FDO). At 3:35 p.m., Carl Icahn said Family Dollar “could use a partner.” Family Dollar closed at $61.43, up 0.16 percent.

•At 3:03 p.m. Jeff Smith of Starboard Capital said he has urged the board of MeadWestvaco Corp. (NYSE: MWV) to take action to maximize shareholder value. Shares closed up 0.18 percent to $44.06.
