    Berkshire Establishes Major Alphabet Holding Under Abel Portfolio Shift

    Question

    Berkshire Establishes Major Alphabet Holding Under Abel Portfolio Shift

    Direct answer

    Berkshire Hathaway has scaled Alphabet into one of its largest core public equity investments, a position initially established in Q3 2025 under Greg Abel and Warren Buffett. The move reflects growing confidence in Alphabet's cash generation and dominant search/cloud moat. Buffett previously acknowledged missing Alphabet's earlier growth trajectory due to strict historical avoidance of tech offerings. The allocation under Abel establishes a long-term institutional anchor in the stock amid broader tech market volatility.
