Buffett Slashes Apple, Bets on Alphabet’s AI!

by

Oh, the mighty Buffett, ever the alchemist, now swaps his golden goose for a new fowl of the future! 🐔🤖

  • Berkshire sold 41.7M Apple shares-like tossing a pebble into the ocean, yet Apple still floats on revenue and EPS growth. 🌊📈
  • Apple now leans on a 2.35B-device installed base, offering free AI tools-because who needs money when you can have free magic? ✨
  • Berkshire opened a 17.8M-share Alphabet stake, adding exposure to search ads, cloud, and autonomy. What’s next, a robot valet? 🤖🚗

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. reduced its holdings in Apple Inc. and purchased shares of Alphabet Inc. during the third quarter, according to regulatory filings. 📜💼

Berkshire sold 41.7 million Apple shares during the period, lowering the company’s portfolio weighting in the technology giant to 21 percent-like a lover’s farewell. 🥺💔

Apple heading into 2026 🕰️

Apple reported $102 billion in revenue for the September quarter, an 8% increase from the previous year-yet Buffett turns his back, perhaps thinking, “I’d rather invest in a parrot than a phone!” 🦜

The iPhone maker’s installed base exceeds 2.35 billion devices-enough to outfit every human, and a few aliens, perhaps. 🌍👽

Berkshire acquired 17.8 million shares of Alphabet during the quarter, representing approximately 2% of the investment firm’s portfolio. Alphabet, with its 12,180% return since 2004, is the new king of the tech realm. 🏰👑

The investment marks a shift for Buffett, who historically avoided technology stocks. Alphabet’s business spans digital advertising, cloud computing, and autonomous driving technologies. What’s next, a flying car? 🚁

The transactions reflect Berkshire’s reallocation within the technology sector, reducing exposure to Apple while adding positions in companies with artificial intelligence capabilities. A true Renaissance man, this Buffett! 🎭
