Berkshire Hathaway to Release Q4 Share Movements: Apple, Bank of America Cut; Alphabet Holding Under Watch (BRK.B, AAPL, BAC, GOOGL)
Berkshire Hathaway is scheduled to release its Q4 share movements after the New York stock market on February 17, 2026, as investors closely watch whether it will continue减持 Apple and Bank of America, following a potential shift as Warren Buffett’s CEO tenure ends at year-end 2025. In Q3, the company reduced Apple by about 15 million shares (roughly 15%) and Bank of America by about 6 million shares (roughly 6%), with Apple now valued at roughly $60 billion and down about 75% from its peak. Bank of America holdings were cut nearly in half since early 2024. Alphabet gained significantly in Q3, with about 18 million shares bought at an average cost of about $210, and its position is valued at roughly $55 billion at current prices of about $305 per share; investors are watching for further accumulation. The departure of portfolio manager Todd Combs may influence the firm’s holdings, with a potential reallocation of assets previously managed by Combs, including Amazon, Visa, and Mastercard, and could lead to further reductions in those areas. Berkshire ended Q3 with a net outflow of about $105 billion in shares, reflecting a challenging environment for significant gains. Markets are also eyeing whether the firm will continue to add to its insurance holdings, particularly Chubb (CBRE).
