Performance & Momentum
Berkshire Reallocates Portfolio Under Greg Abel
Berkshire Hathaway has unveiled its first portfolio moves under Greg Abel, marked by heavy sales of Amazon, Visa, Mastercard and UnitedHealth, as well as a reduction in the total number of holdings. The group also increased its stake in Alphabet and opened a new position in Delta Air Lines, signaling an active shift in capital allocation. These moves reflect a strategic transition after the Buffett era, with a more selective but also more cautious approach to several large-cap names. For BRK-B, the impact is likely neutral to slightly positive in the short term, as the market may view this as disciplined portfolio management, even if visibility on the post-Buffett strategy remains a point of concern.
Strategic Analysis
Berkshire Hathaway Inc - Class B • 2026
Berkshire Hathaway is an investment and operating conglomerate built around a powerful core of insurance, recurring cash flows, and a highly diversified portfolio of industrial, financial, and consumer holdings. Its strength lies in disciplined capital allocation, a decentralized structure, and broad exposure to the U.S. economy without relying on a single growth driver.
- Extremely broad diversification that reduces dependence on any single sector
- Strong balance sheet quality and a long track record of reallocating capital with discipline
- The structuring role of insurance, which generates cash and supports investment firepower
- Growth is often steadier than spectacular, with more limited outperformance potential in very growth-driven markets
- Sensitivity to the performance of its holdings and to the U.S. macroeconomic environment
Momentum appears neutral to slightly constructive, with a recent consolidation profile following a still-solid long-term trajectory. The strategic view remains favorable for a medium- to long-term investor: the stock retains its defensive qualities and resilience, even if its immediate market momentum is less supportive than during its strongest historical phases.
