Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate led by Warren Buffett, filed its 13F form with the SEC for Q3 2026, revealing a total stock portfolio valued at $299.3 billion. The fund holds 26 positions, with the top ten representing nearly 90% of the total value. Apple remains in first place with $65.95 billion, or 22.0% of the portfolio, followed by American Express ($51.28 billion, 17.1%) and Alphabet ($37.76 billion, 12.6%).
The current portfolio reflects this approach: consumer companies (Coca-Cola, Kraft Heinz), financial institutions (American Express, Bank of America, Moody's), and tech giants (Apple, Alphabet). His investments in Chevron and Occidental Petroleum indicate a taste for energy.
Key New Positions and Strengthens
The Q3 2026 13F filing shows variations in existing positions, but no new positions were reported in the provided data. Notable strengthens include Apple, which increased its stake to 227,917,808 shares. Similarly, Alphabet was strengthened with 105,979,600 shares, representing 12.6% of the portfolio. American Express and Coca-Cola also saw their positions increase, reinforcing the financial and consumer staples sectors.
Cuts and Exits â What Buffett is Leaving Behind
According to the provided data, no position was entirely sold in Q3 2026. However, some positions were reduced. For example, Bank of America, with 483,394,015 shares, represents 9.2% of the portfolio. Similarly, Chevron and Occidental Petroleum saw slight reductions in their stakes, although exact figures are not specified. Kraft Heinz, with 325,634,818 shares, is also down. It's important to note that the 13F only shows long equity positions and does not reveal short sales or options, which could provide a more complete picture of Buffett's strategy.
Limitations of the 13F: What This Filing DOESN'T Say
The 13F is a quarterly filing requirement for asset managers with over $100 million in assets, but it has significant limitations. First, it is filed within 45 days after the end of the quarter, meaning the data can be several weeks outdated. Second, it only lists long equity positions traded on exchanges, excluding short sales or options, which could provide a more comprehensive view of Buffett's strategy.
