Berkshire Hathaway Adds $4.3 Billion Alphabet Stake While Cutting Apple Ahead of Leadership Transition

Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a major portfolio adjustment, revealing a new $4.3 billion stake in Alphabet while simultaneously reducing its long-held position in Apple. The move comes as Warren Buffett prepares to step down as CEO, prompting analysts to interpret the shift as strategic positioning for the conglomerate’s next phase of capital allocation. Alphabet's AI-driven growth prospects appear to have attracted Berkshire at a time when regulatory and valuation pressures have weighed on Apple. Market participants expect further reshuffling as leadership transitions solidify within the firm.
