Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, has decreased its investment in Apple and initiated a new position in The New York Times during the fourth quarter, as revealed by a recent securities filing.
The Omaha-based conglomerate reported a 4.3% reduction in its holdings in the iPhone maker, bringing the total value down to $61.96 billion, according to InsiderScore. Despite this reduction, Apple continues to be Berkshire's largest equity portfolio component.
Berkshire also announced it had reduced its Apple stake and initiated a holding in Alphabet, another member of the 'Magnificent Seven,' in the third quarter. The company had also diminished its stake in Apple during the second quarter of the previous year after a two-thirds reduction in 2024.
Apple ended its third consecutive profitable year in 2025 with a 9% increase, though it fell short of the S&P 500's over 16% gain last year. The stock's performance has continued to lag this year, dropping about 3%. Notably, it recently suffered its worst trading day since April 2025.
