Buffett Adjusts the Sails: Berkshire’s Quiet Portfolio Repositioning
Berkshire Hathaway’s latest quarterly filing reveals a strategic reshuffling rather than a radical overhaul. The $267.3 billion portfolio shows Warren Buffett doubling down on durability, trimming tech and financial heavyweights while reinforcing insurance and consumer staples.
Apple and Bank of America saw meaningful reductions, with Verisign experiencing the steepest cut at nearly one-third of its position. The moves signal cooling enthusiasm for pricey tech and banking names that have long dominated Berkshire’s balance sheet.
Fresh capital flowed into insurance plays like Chubb, underscoring Buffett’s enduring faith in predictable cash FLOW generators. The rotation mirrors his trademark preference for steady compounders over flashy growth stories.
