Berkshire Hathaway Drops for 8th Straight Day, Fueling Buyback Bets

Berkshire Hathaway Drops for 8th Straight Day, Fueling Buyback Bets

Berkshire Hathaway’s Class B shares fell for an eighth consecutive session in 2026, down about 6.8% for the year and lagging the broad market, even as the company sits on a sizable cash pile and owns defensive, non-cyclical businesses. The pullback could enable more aggressive investing and a ramp-up of stock buybacks (which resumed in March), with the stock trading near 1.4x book value and the potential for further repurchases under new leadership ahead of the May 2 quarterly results and shareholder meeting.

Buffett Trims Apple, Sells Amazon, Bets on The New York Times' Turnaround

Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway ended his tenure with a selling streak, trimming Apple and beginning to shed Amazon for about $4.5B last quarter, while initiating a new stake in The New York Times, a 174-year-old publisher that has benefited from its digital transformation. Apple remains Berkshire's largest holding at about 19% of the portfolio, down from more than 50% after the sale; Amazon's multiple has cooled as it funds AI infrastructure. The moves suggest selective rotation, not a broad market bet.

Berkshire Resumes Buybacks as New CEO Abel Buys $15 Million in Class A Shares

Berkshire Hathaway has restarted its stock repurchase program under new CEO Greg Abel, who also bought $15 million of Class A shares, signaling alignment with shareholders. Abel consulted Buffett on the timing and value, and says buybacks will continue when the price is below intrinsic value, while Berkshire maintains a large cash pile and Buffett’s long‑standing preference for reinvesting in equities rather than paying dividends.

Buffett Sells Big Bets in Q4 2025 as Berkshire Builds Cash

Berkshire Hathaway’s Q4 2025 saw Buffett’s team trim or sell Amazon, Apple, and Bank of America, buy about $352 million of The New York Times, and keep a cash pile near $400 billion, signaling valuation-driven moves rather than a clear bearish stance; individual investors should align decisions with their own risk tolerance and goals rather than imitate Buffett.

Berkshire’s Q4 Profit Slide Narrowed by a Noncash Impairment

Berkshire’s Q4 Profit Slide Narrowed by a Noncash Impairment

Berkshire Hathaway’s fourth-quarter operating earnings declined about 30% to $10.2 billion, but a $1.56 billion noncash goodwill impairment (linked to Pilot and three other units) dimmed the headline drop; after adjusting for impairment and other one-time items, the decline would be closer to 20%. The company holds a near-record cash pile (~$373 billion) and did not repurchase shares in Q4 2025 or January 2026. Berkshire also signaled no dividend, as CEO Greg Abel continues Buffett’s capital-allocation approach, while insurance profits remained under pressure.

Abel vows Berkshire’s Buffett-era discipline endures

Greg Abel, in his first annual Berkshire letter as CEO, pledges to preserve Buffett’s disciplined investing and fortress balance sheet, maintains a no-dividend policy with ample cash as dry powder, and will run a concentrated equity portfolio (Ted Weschler manages about 6%) as part of a long-term, patient approach that eschews quarterly earnings cadence.

Buffett’s Final Quarter: Berkshire Slows as Insurance Slump Signals New Era

Berkshire Hathaway reported Q4 2025 operating earnings of $10.2B, down about 29% from a year earlier, with insurance underwriting profits down 54% to $1.56B and insurance investment income down ~25% to $3.1B. This was Buffett’s final quarter as CEO before Greg Abel begins 2026. For 2025, operating earnings totaled $44.49B and overall earnings $66.97B, pressured by a $4.5B impairment from Kraft Heinz and Occidental; investment gains helped but overall earnings still fell. Berkshire did not buy back shares and its cash hoard eased to $373.3B, while its stock rose ~10% in 2025, lagging the S&P 500.}

Build a Buffett-Style Starter Portfolio With $300

Build a Buffett-Style Starter Portfolio With $300

The Motley Fool argues Warren Buffett’s investing approach remains relevant and spotlights three Buffett-style picks—Apple, Kroger, and Bank of America—as solid, defensive holdings. With $300 you can deploy about $100 into each stock using fractional shares to create a beginner portfolio built on Buffett’s criteria (strong management, durable moat, steady earnings). Apple remains a major Berkshire Hathaway holding (recently trimmed for rebalancing), Kroger offers budget-conscious appeal and a dividend, and Bank of America reflects Buffett’s continued preference for leading financials. The piece highlights long-term, high-conviction investing over chasing hot trends, and notes Fool promotion of further stock ideas.
