Berkshire Hathaway Sells Small Portion of Apple Shares amid Portfolio Adjustments
Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate led by legendary investor Warren Buffett, has recently sold a small portion of its Apple shares. The sale amounted to just over 10 million shares in the fourth quarter.
However, despite this reduction in holdings, Berkshire Hathaway still maintains a significant stake in Apple, with over 905.5 million shares valued at approximately $174.3 billion. The sale is part of the company’s ongoing investment adjustments, which also involved selling some shares of HP Inc. and acquiring more shares in Chevron and Occidental Petroleum Corp.
Apple, along with other significant holdings such as Amazon, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, and Visa, contributes to Berkshire Hathaway’s substantial collective stock value, which currently stands at nearly $374.4 billion. Notably, Apple represents roughly half of that value.
It is worth noting that Warren Buffett’s personal wealth largely stems from his stake in Berkshire Hathaway. As one of the most successful investors in the world, Buffett’s investment decisions are closely watched by both institutional and retail investors.

Berkshire’s diverse stock portfolio, with Apple being a significant holding, contributes to its collective stock value of nearly $374.4 billion. As an analyst, I expect the market to remain stable with potential adjustments in Berkshire’s portfolio based on market conditions and investment opportunities.
