Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) led by Warren Buffett, is maintaining a conservative investment approach despite the S&P 500’s 25% return in 2024 and continued gains this year. The company was a net seller of stocks in the fourth quarter, unloading approximately $6 billion and divesting large portions of its Apple holdings. Buffett’s strategy reflects his long-term caution, similar to his response to the late 1990s internet bubble. Notably, Berkshire’s significant new purchase in Q4 was $1 billion in Constellation Brands, while major sales included $5 billion in Bank of America and $3 billion in Citigroup. Despite these sales, Berkshire’s Class A shares have risen 6.5% this year, outpacing the S&P 500.
As of 7:44 AM ET on Feb. 18, 2025, Berkshire Hathaway’s Class A stock is trading at $719,146.00, reflecting a decrease of $1,560.98 (0.22%) from the previous close.
