Berkshire Hathaway, the investment group led by Warren Buffett, has further reduced its holdings in Apple, while simultaneously embarking on a new stake in The New York Times, as outlined in a recent securities filing covering the fourth quarter.
The Omaha-based company revealed it had cut down its position in the tech giant Apple by 4.3%, bringing the value to $61.96 billion, based on data provided by InsiderScore. Despite this reduction, Apple continues to be the largest equity holding within Berkshire's extensive portfolio.
Berkshire Hathaway made moves earlier by trimming its Apple stakes and initiating a position in Alphabet, another major player in technology, during the third quarter. The company had previously reduced its Apple equity position in the second quarter of last year, following a significant stake cut by two-thirds in 2024.
In 2025, Apple experienced its third consecutive year of gains, rising approximately 9%, yet underperformed compared to the broader S&P 500 index which rose over 16%. This year, Apple shares have faced further challenges, declining about 3%, with a notable drop marking its worst performance day since April 2025 occurring just last week.
