Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has revealed a new position in internet and AI giant Alphabet, according to a recent filing. This investment makes the Google parent company the conglomerate’s 10th largest equity holding as of the end of September.
The filing showed that Berkshire disclosed a $4.3 billion stake in Alphabet at the close of the third quarter. This move comes as a surprise to many, given Buffett’s traditional value investing philosophy and his usual reluctance toward high-growth, tech-driven companies.
While Berkshire Hathaway has owned Apple for years, Buffett has often described Apple more as a consumer products company rather than a pure technology play. It is also likely that Berkshire’s investment managers, Ted Weschler and Todd Combs, were responsible for purchasing the Alphabet shares. Notably, one of them initiated an investment in Amazon back in 2019, and Berkshire Hathaway still holds $2.2 billion worth of Amazon’s e-commerce shares.
