Warren Buffett Trims Apple and Amazon Stakes Ahead of Berkshire Hathaway Retirement

The final 13F filing from Berkshire Hathaway has revealed significant portfolio adjustments made by Warren Buffett prior to his retirement as CEO on December 31. Buffett executed substantial sell-offs in major holdings, including tech giants Apple and Amazon, as well as Bank of America. These divestments are widely interpreted as a strategic rebalancing and a cautious signal regarding the current valuations of market leaders. Despite the broad reductions, Berkshire Hathaway introduced a brand-new position to its portfolio during Buffett’s final quarter in charge. This selective addition suggests that the legendary investor maintained his signature value-hunting approach until the very end of his tenure. Market participants are closely analyzing these moves as they represent the final chapter of Buffett's direct influence over the conglomerate’s massive equity portfolio.
