Berkshire Hathaway’s Strategic Shifts: Apple Trim and Telecom Exit

Berkshire Hathaway's recent 13F filing reveals a series of bold portfolio adjustments, signaling potential caution in Warren Buffett's investment strategy. The conglomerate slashed its Apple position by 20 million shares—a $9.2 billion reduction—while maintaining the tech giant as its largest holding. This technical weakness in Berkshire's Class A shares, struggling to breach long-term resistance since July, raises eyebrows given the broader market rally.

More striking is the complete liquidation of its $1 billion T-Mobile US stake, a clean break from telecom exposure. Simultaneously, Berkshire pared back its longstanding Bank of America position by 26 million shares, trimming the stake to 8%. These moves suggest a defensive posture amid market highs, with Buffett potentially reallocating capital toward sectors with clearer moats or valuation advantages.
