It was reported on May 15 that Berkshire Hathaway has trimmed its stake in Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) by selling around $8 billion worth of its stock in the first quarter. The Omaha-based conglomerate capitalized on the soaring oil prices, which pushed the oil giant’s stock to a record high. The transaction, which occurred at a volume-weighted average price of $182.59 a share, reduced Berkshire’s position in Chevron by around a third.
However, despite the sale, the conglomerate still owns a 4.2% stake in the integrated energy major and remains its fourth-largest shareholder.
