Further Reading from MarketBeat Media Berkshire & AI Hyperscalers: Buffett Holds GOOGL, Dumps AMZNAuthored by Leo Miller. Published: 2/17/2026. Investment giant Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B) has released its Q4 2025 portfolio moves. The company's 13F filing details the trades it made during the quarter, providing insight into how it views several notable names. Included in the firm's key portfolio changes are one of the world's best-known media companies and multiple Magnificent Seven stocks. This round of trades is particularly noteworthy because at the end of 2025 Berkshire founder Warren Buffett officially retired as CEO. These were Berkshire's last moves while Buffett held the firm's top executive role. Greg Abel has since stepped in as CEO, while Buffett remains influential as Chairman of the Board. As Buffett exits the CEO role after an incredible 60 years, here are Berkshire's most significant trades in Q4 2025. The New York Times: Berkshire's Shiny New Holding Watch Now! Porter Stansberry & Luke Lango join forces to unveil:
The Three Titanic Forces Converging To Unleash A New 1776 Moment
"We have never seen wealth created at this size and speed" MIT Researcher Click here for the stocks to buy and sell now Key Points - Berkshire Hathaway's latest 13F filing revealed its highly interesting moves in Q4 2025, especially as it relates to AI hyperscalers.
- The company also initiated a position in a top media company pushing hard into the digital economy.
- While Berkshire sold AAPL, its position in the Magnificent Seven stock remains huge.
In Q4, Berkshire initiated a position in The New York Times (NYSE: NYT), buying nearly 5.1 million shares. While modest relative to Berkshire's overall portfolio, the position was worth about $352 million at quarter-end, roughly 0.13% of Berkshire's equity holdings. NYT shares performed well in Q4, rising about 21%, and the stock has continued to climb in 2026. NYT's November earnings report helped fuel the rally: the company added 460,000 net new digital subscribers that quarter, a 77% year-over-year increase, and digital advertising revenue rose 20%. That growth has accelerated each quarter since Q4 2023 and reached 25% in NYT's latest results. Berkshire's purchase signals confidence in NYT's digital transformation, which has made clear progress. Berkshire Reduces Apple Stake, Trims Several Key Names Berkshire reduced its stake in Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) by 4% during Q4, continuing a recent trend of trimming the position. In Q2 2025 it cut Apple holdings by about 7%, and in Q3 2025 it reduced the position by 15%. Despite the cuts, Apple remains Berkshire's largest holding, valued at nearly $62 billion at the end of Q4 — almost 23% of Berkshire's equity portfolio — indicating continued long-term confidence in the iPhone maker. Other notable reductions included selling roughly 48% of its Atlanta Braves (NASDAQ: BATRK) stake, trimming Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) by 9% and Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) by 3%. The biggest headline, however, was Berkshire's large reduction in hyperscaler and Magnificent Seven giant Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN). AMZN vs GOOGL: Berkshire Dumps One, Holds the Other Steady During the quarter, Berkshire sold more than 7.7 million Amazon shares, cutting its stake from about 10 million shares to roughly 2.3 million — a 77% decrease. Unlike the gradual Apple sales, Berkshire's Amazon reductions were sudden; this was its first meaningful AMZN sale since moving from 11 million to 10 million shares in Q3 2023. The rationale for such a large sale is open to interpretation. Notably, Amazon reached an all-time high closing price of $254 in Q4 and is down roughly 20% since then, making that peak a likely selling point for investors. It's also possible Berkshire anticipated Amazon's aggressive capital expenditure guidance: Amazon plans to spend $200 billion on CapEx in 2026, the highest among hyperscalers and about $50 billion above analyst expectations. Amazon's CapEx outlook was a key factor putting downward pressure on its shares after the company's latest earnings report. Interestingly, Berkshire left its position in Amazon's cloud-data-center competitor, Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), unchanged, even though Alphabet also hit several new all-time highs in Q4. That suggests Berkshire may favor Google's cloud and artificial intelligence strategy over Amazon's. Analyst Forecasts Clash with Berkshire's Long-Term Perspective The most notable takeaway from Berkshire's Q4 13F is as much about what the firm bought and sold as what it held steady. By reducing Amazon and maintaining Alphabet, Berkshire signaled a clear preference for Google among the two. Analysts' price targets don't fully mirror that view. The MarketBeat consensus price target for AMZN implies roughly 43% upside, while the consensus target for GOOGL implies about 20% upside. Keep in mind, however, that price targets are 12-month forecasts; Berkshire typically invests with a multi-year horizon and is likely signaling where it sees long-term value.
