Summary · why it matters

Nearly 59% of Berkshire Hathaway's equity portfolio is concentrated in five Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks, and Apple is the top pick among them right now. Apple makes up 21% of the portfolio, a position Warren Buffett began building in 2016, and the company has repurchased over $700 billion in stock since then. American Express accounts for 15%, a holding dating to the early 1990s that now yields hundreds of millions in annual dividends. Coca-Cola represents 9.3%, a Dividend King that has raised its payout for 64 consecutive years. Alphabet, at 8.6%, was initiated by Buffett last year and expanded by new CEO Greg Abel with over $20 billion in purchases, while Chevron rounds out the group at 4.5% as Berkshire has loaded up on energy stocks since the pandemic. Apple is favored for its patient AI strategy, potential to generate referral revenue and iCloud monetization as AI use grows on its devices, and its stock has risen nearly 21% this year, outperforming the broader market and many Magnificent Seven peers.
