Berkshire Hathaway maintains its 228 million-share Apple position, ending a two-year selling streak under Greg Abel’s leadership.
Berkshire Hathaway kept its Apple stake unchanged at 228 million shares, valued at approximately $17 billion, according to its latest 13-F filing. The move halts a multi-quarter trend of trimming the position under former CEO Warren Buffett, signaling confidence in the tech giant under new leadership.
The conglomerate’s peak Apple holding exceeded 900 million shares before the sell-down began. Berkshire also expanded its Alphabet position by more than threefold, reinforcing a shift toward big tech under CEO Greg Abel, who previously oversaw Berkshire’s utilities operations.
The filing suggests Abel’s approach may prioritize long-term holdings over portfolio rebalancing, contrasting with Buffett’s prior adjustments. Market reaction to the 13-F was muted, with no immediate price swings in either stock.
