Before Retiring, Warren Buffett Dumped $4.5 Billion Worth of 2 AI Stocks and Established a New Position in This 174-Year-Old Company
2026-03-07 13:35:00 ET
As Warren Buffett approached the end of his tenure as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) , he went on a selling streak unlike any in history. He sold more stock than he bought in each of the last 13 quarters of his time in charge of Berkshire's massive marketable equity portfolio. That led to an astounding cash pile of $373 billion at the end of 2025.
Buffett took the axe to some of Berkshire's biggest positions, and last quarter was no different. He continued to trim its massive stake in Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and began selling Berkshire's Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) shares as well. Those sales totaled an estimated $4.5 billion. Meanwhile, Buffett started a new position in a company that's been around since the 1850s.
