Berkshire Hathaway Discloses $4.3 Billion Stake in Alphabet, Reduces Apple Holdings
2025-11-15 09:32

Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a $4.3 billion stake in Alphabet, making it the company's tenth largest holding. This move deviates from Warren Buffett's long-standing strategy of holding value stocks. In the third quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also reduced its Apple holdings by approximately $11 billion. The company's other major holdings, including American Express, Bank of America, and Coca-Cola, remained largely unchanged during the same period. This could be one of the last new stock positions added before Buffett's retirement.
