Summary · why it matters

Greg Abel, in his first quarter as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, trimmed the company's equity portfolio from 42 to 29 positions, the lowest in over a decade, while expanding the stake in Alphabet. Abel's moves reflect his stated principles of concentrating in high-conviction stocks and avoiding companies that could tarnish Berkshire's reputation. He closed out the position in Amazon, leaving Apple and Alphabet as the two artificial-intelligence-related holdings, though Apple is viewed more as a consumer goods company. New positions in Macy's and Delta Air Lines align with classic Buffett-style investing, but the increased bet on Alphabet may signal Abel's comfort with pure-play tech as the digital shift accelerates.
