Berkshire Hathaway shifted to net stock buying in Q2 2026 under CEO Greg Abel, purchasing $39.4 billion in equities during the first half of the year compared to $7.1 billion a year earlier. The company's most notable addition was Alphabet, making it the third-largest portfolio position. Despite a frothy market with elevated valuations, Abel is playing offense while managing $365.5 billion in cash and Treasuries awaiting deployment.
Berkshire Hathaway reduced its positions in three bank stocks during Q2 2026: Capital One (58% reduction), Bank of America ($1.7B sale), and Ally Financial (7% reduction). While the exact reasons are unclear, potential factors include concerns about consumer credit deterioration, interest rate risks, and profit-taking in a well-performing financial sector. Berkshire remains heavily invested in banks despite these sales.
