🚨 Warren Buffett Just Bought This Stock!
Warren Buffett's Final Trade 👋
Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway recently released their latest Form 13F.
With Buffett retiring at the end of 2025, this document reveals the LAST moves Buffett made before he stepped down.
I spent hours reviewing it, and found 10 key takeaways for us to review. 👇
1. 💰 Buys & Sells
In the most recent quarter, Buffett added to 4 positions, and added 1 entirely new position, The New York Times (NYT).
He reduced the size of 9 positions.
2. 🔻 Buffett is a Net Seller of Stocks
The last 3 years, Buffett has been a net seller of stocks every quarter.
While the official amount isn’t out yet, here is my rough math for Q4 2025 based on average prices for the stocks he bought and sold:
🟢 Total Buys ≈ $2.5B
🔴 Total Sells ≈ $7.6B
That’s net outflows of over $5 billion.
3. 💵 Buffett’s MASSIVE Cash Pile
In Q3 of 2025, Buffett’s cash position hit a staggering $382 billion.
Based on the fact he was again a net seller of stocks, we can safely assume this cash position is closer to $400 billion now.
4. 🍎 Still Selling Apple
Buffett had previously claimed over a year ago that he trimmed his Apple position for tax purposes...
But his actions tell us differently.
Q4 2023: Reduced AAPL -1.09%
Q1 2024: Reduced AAPL -12.83%
Q2 2024: Reduced AAPL -49.33%
Q4 2024: Reduced AAPL -25%
Q1 2025: No change
Q2 2025: Reduced AAPL -6.67%
Q3 2025: Reduced AAPL -14.92%
Q4 2025: Reduced AAPL -4.32%
He has now trimmed his Apple position in 7 of the last 8 quarters.
His Apple position has gone from 51% of his portfolio to around 22.6% in 2 years.
5. 🛒 His New Buy
Buffett only added 1 new position to his portfolio.
The New York Times (NYT).
The company is currently up over 50% in the last year.
Forward P/E: 27.23
Projected 5YR EPS CAGR: 11%
Dividend Yield: 1.22%
5YR Dividend CAGR: 24.57%
6. 📊 Outperformance is Dwindling
Buffett is the greatest of all time.
He has outperformed in every decade, but that outperformance has started to grow smaller.
2025 S&P 500: 17.3%
2025 Berkshire Hathaway: 11.43%
7. 🛢️ Betting On Energy
Buffett’s biggest purchase in the recent quarter was CVX.
His Chevron position grew from 122,064,792 shares to 130,156,362 shares, making it his 5th largest position.
Energy has been the best performing sector in 2026 so far.
8. 💻 Leaving Tech And Financials... (Or Not)
The biggest moves in Buffett’s portfolio were reducing his positions in:
Apple - AAPL
Amazon - AMZN
Bank of America - BAC
Despite this, tech and financials still account for the majority of his capital allocation, with the 2 sectors making up over 65% of his portfolio.
9. 🎯 Buffett’s Big Bets
There are currently 42 holdings in Buffett’s portfolio.
Buffett’s top 10 holdings make up 88.27% of his portfolio.
The top 5 holdings make up 70.88% of the portfolio.
10. 📋 Buffett’s Portfolio
