Berkshire Breaks Long Selling Streak With $23.5B Q2 Stock Buy, Including $10B Alphabet Private Placement
Berkshire Hathaway ended a 14-quarter net-selloff by buying about $23.5 billion of stocks in the second quarter, including roughly $10 billion of Alphabet shares purchased directly from Alphabet in a private placement at about $351.81 for Class A and $348.20 for Class C, cheaper than the public pricing. Alphabet becomes a major Berkshire holding, alongside other large stakes, while Berkshire’s cash pile fell to about $365.5 billion; the quarter also included notable activity like the Taylor Morrison deal and higher buybacks.
