"A true living legend, Warren Buffett is known as the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway ( NYSE:BRK-B) and a brilliant stock picker. He focuses on value and, other than Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL) stock and Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN), Buffett doesn't often buy many mega-cap technology stocks. Hence, it's of great interest that Buffett's company recently sold some stock shares, and even trimmed his Apple stock position, but bought shares of a famous technology firm."
"This represents one of Buffett's most intriguing moves as he prepares to retire as Berkshire Hathaway's CEO at the end of the year. Buffett generally doesn't provide reasons why he chooses to buy specific stocks. Nevertheless, we can take a look at Berkshire Hathaway's recent purchase and then consider why Buffett and his associates may have added shares of one particular technology stock. At the end of the day, you might want to buy a few shares, too."
Berkshire Hathaway increased its position in Alphabet Class A shares during Q3 2025, acquiring 17.85 million shares valued at about $4 billion. The average purchase price was $225 per share, and the Alphabet purchase was Berkshire's largest buy that quarter. Buying Class A shares grants Berkshire voting rights in Alphabet. Berkshire trimmed its Apple position while making other sales. The Alphabet stake represents roughly 1.8% of Berkshire's portfolio. Incoming CEO Greg Abel may have influenced the purchase, although the buy occurred while Buffett remained CEO as he prepares to retire at year end.
