Key Points
Berkshire Hathaway, under the leadership of Warren Buffett, has significantly adjusted its equity positions, notably selling over 52 million shares of Apple in the past year, reducing its stake to approximately 228 million shares, which now accounts for around 21% of its portfolio. Meanwhile, Berkshire has invested more than $10 billion in Alphabet, holding over 86 million shares, which represents about 8% of its portfolio.
In terms of performance, Alphabet has delivered higher shareholder returns over the past one and five years, despite Apple’s recent revenue growth due to a device upgrade cycle. Currently, Alphabet has a P/E ratio of 25, significantly lower than Apple’s 39, indicating a more attractive valuation for investors. Buffett has expressed regret over selling Apple shares “too soon,” yet Berkshire’s recent actions show a preference for Alphabet.
