Extended read
Under the leadership of Greg Abel, Berkshire Hathaway is correcting what Warren Buffett called a 'mistake' by avoiding Alphabet for years. The rapid accumulation of $30 billion in shares, including a massive private placement, indicates high conviction in Google's AI and cloud infrastructure. This move also highlights Berkshire's massive cash pile (nearly $400 billion) being deployed into high-quality tech, providing a significant floor for Alphabet's valuation amid broader market volatility.
