Berkshire Hathaway’s second-quarter 13F filing, its second since Warren Buffett stepped down as CEO, showed a notable reshuffling of the firm’s U.S. equity portfolio. As of the end of the quarter, the portfolio was valued at about $299.3 billion, up 12.09% from roughly $263.1 billion at the end of the first quarter. During the period, Berkshire opened one new position, added to seven holdings, trimmed six, and exited one stock entirely. The filing shows Berkshire leaning more heavily into Alphabet, housing-related names and airlines, while continuing to reduce exposure to traditional financial stocks and some consumer holdings. On a combined basis, Alphabet’s Class A and Class C shares rose to Berkshire’s third-largest holding, behind Apple and American Express, and ahead of Coca-Cola. Bank of America was the only top-10 holding that Berkshire reduced in the quarter, marking the second consecutive quarter of cuts. Outside the largest positions, Berkshire increased its stakes in Delta Air Lines, Lennar, Macy’s and The New York Times. It also initiated a small position in D.R. Horton and fully exited Constellation Brands after sharply reducing that position in the first quarter.
