Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway cut its Apple (AAPL) holdings in half during Q2 2024

As a seasoned gamer and investor with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve learned to keep a keen eye on the moves of industry titans like Warren Buffett. The recent announcement that Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has reduced its stake in Apple by nearly 50% in just three months is certainly raising some eyebrows in the investment community.


As a seasoned investor with over two decades of experience under my belt, I find the recent move by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. to significantly reduce its stake in Apple intriguing. Having closely followed Warren Buffett’s investment strategies for many years, it is evident that this decision was not made lightly. With a balance sheet now boasting $277 billion in cash, it seems that the Oracle of Omaha is taking some risk off the table. While I can’t say for certain what the future holds, one thing is clear: Berkshire Hathaway remains a formidable force in the world of finance and their decisions continue to shape the investment landscape. I’ll be keeping a close eye on this development and will adjust my own portfolio accordingly.

As a devoted gamer, I’ve always admired the smart moves of the Oracle of Omaha. In the second and third quarters of 2024, his portfolio company maintained a whopping $84.2 billion investment in Apple shares. However, it’s been a twice-in-a-row quarter reduction in holdings for them. During Q3 2024, Apple reported impressive earnings that surpassed analyst predictions, but there was a slight dip in iPhone sales during that period.

During the recent quarter, Berkshire Hathaway disposed of a significant portion of its second-largest investment, which is Bank of America (BAC). In May, Warren Buffett expressed his view that there aren’t many appealing investment prospects within the stock market.

As a fellow gaming enthusiast dabbling in the world of investments, let me clarify that while I’m sharing my insights here for educational purposes, it is essential to remember they should not be construed as financial advice. Each gamer’s investment journey is unique, encompassing factors like time horizon and risk tolerance. Therefore, always consult a trusted financial advisor before making any investment decisions based on this information. Happy gaming, and happy investing!
