Berkshire Hathaway Accelerates Stock Sell-Off Amid Record Cash Buildup
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway liquidated $6.1 billion in equities during Q3, extending its divestment streak to twelve consecutive quarters. The Omaha-based conglomerate now holds unprecedented cash reserves as market valuations stretch to historic highs.
Filings reveal asymmetric trading activity: $12.5 billion in stock sales offset by just $6.4 billion in purchases. This disciplined capital reallocation coincides with Buffett's impending transition from CEO to chairman, with Greg Abel positioned to assume operational control.
