À propos de cet audio
Berkshire Hathaway has been everywhere in the headlines this week as the latest 13F filings offered the world a peek behind the curtain, igniting Wall Street and Main Street gossip alike. According to The Acquirer’s Multiple and confirmed by Morningstar, Berkshire revealed a careful but unmistakable strategy shift: trimming oversized winners and quietly branching into new territory. The company sold another 20 million shares of Apple, reducing its stake by 6.7 percent to 280 million shares—a move that took some by surprise since Apple remains its single biggest holding at more than 57 billion dollars. Bank of America also got the pruning shears with more than 26 million shares sold, continuing what Morningstar describes as an overall 41 percent reduction in that position since last year. This cautious harvesting didn’t stop Buffett’s team from planting new seeds: they bulked up significantly in Chevron, Constellation Brands, and revealed long-concealed stakes in housing names like D.R. Horton and Lennar as well as steel producer Nucor. Notably, the company took an entirely new and hefty position in UnitedHealth Group, fresh off a bruising downturn. This marks a distinct tilt toward durable demand sectors—healthcare, housing, and industrials—signaling Berkshire’s desire for stability over speculative growth.
Drama wasn’t in short supply. Berkshire completely exited its T-Mobile stake, pocketing gains from a run that saw the stock more than double since they got in. Analysts and investors alike were abuzz on MarketBeat and AOL, cutting into whether the continued selling, huge cash pile—reportedly 344 billion in cash and Treasuries as AOL reports more than the Federal Reserve—and halt on Berkshire’s own buybacks (since late 2024) spells caution or opportunity. The biggest headline, though? Buffett stunned fans announcing at this past shareholders meeting that he’ll step down as CEO by year’s end, with Greg Abel taking the reins while Buffett remains on as board chair.
On the market front, Ainvest and Morningstar noted that after lagging the market for the first time in five years, Berkshire’s stock surged midweek on a 36 percent volume spike, ranking it the 34th most traded US stock for the day, reflecting heightened investor intrigue rather than a clear up or down move.
Social media was predictably electric, with #Berkshire and #Buffett trending after the Fortune story highlighting Buffett’s belief that character and raw business talent matter more than degrees—a philosophy getting renewed attention as he moves toward retirement. Most telling, the overall tone is watchful: is Berkshire’s pivot the start of a defensive era, a new chapter under Abel, or vintage Buffett setting the table for the next market swoon? No unconfirmed rumors have proven material, and all signals point to a methodical, high-stakes passing of the torch in one of capitalism’s most watched dynasties.
