    Berkshire Hathaway Deploys Capital into Taylor Morrison, Alphabet, and Macy's

    Question

    Berkshire Hathaway Deploys Capital into Taylor Morrison, Alphabet, and Macy's

    Direct answer

    Berkshire Hathaway continues to execute its cash reinvestment playbook under Greg Abel, deploying tens of billions into both outright takeovers and public equities without initiating shareholder dividends. The $8.5 billion purchase of Taylor Morrison expands Berkshire's footprint in residential construction, while the $17 billion increase in Alphabet demonstrates continued institutional demand for top-tier digital advertising and cloud infrastructure cash generators. Separately, the initiation of a 7.3 million share stake in Macy's valued at $173 million targets value retail trading at single-digit earnings multiples. — bullish pressure on BRK.B.
