Sign InIn a move reflecting a fundamental shift in Berkshire Hathaway's investment priorities, Alphabet has become one of the group's largest holdings under Greg Abel's management. According to reports, Abel is backing Alphabet's AI infrastructure expansion with a $10 billion private placement. This direction highlights the changing strategy of Warren Buffett's successor toward the technology sector and digital infrastructure.
Surpassing the historic stake in Coca-Cola represents a symbolic turning point, as KO has been a cornerstone of Buffett's value-based strategy for decades. Per market data, Alphabet (GOOGL) closed at $358.89 on July 9, 2026, while Coca-Cola (KO) stood at $84.05 on July 7, 2026. This shift occurs amid intensifying tech competition, with peers like Microsoft (MSFT) trading at $84.05 and Meta at $631.48 as of July 9, 2026 close.
Investors should watch GOOGL price levels, which hit a daily high of $359.65 before the July 9, 2026 close. As portfolio rebalancing continues, focus will shift to Alphabet's upcoming earnings to evaluate the returns on these massive AI investments. Traders are also monitoring BRK.B, which closed at $495.45 on July 9, 2026, to gauge the impact of this technological pivot on the group's overall performance.
