Berkshire Hathaway Reports $299.3 Billion in Listed Securities in Q3 2026, with Apple at 22%
As of September 30, 2026, Berkshire Hathaway holds $299.3 billion in listed assets, with 22% ($65.95 billion) in Apple. The top 10 holdings represent over 90% of the portfolio, with American Express and Alphabet in second and third places.
Berkshire Hathawayâs investment fund, led by Warren Buffett, reported $299.3 billion in listed securities as of September 30, 2026, spread across 26 positions. The largest holding is Apple Inc., valued at $65.95 billion (22.0% of the portfolio), followed by American Express ($51.28 billion, 17.1%) and Alphabet ($37.76 billion, 12.6%). These figures are based on the 13F-HR filing submitted to the SECâs website on August 14, 2026.
Warren Buffett employs an investment approach focused on long-term value, seeking businesses with sustainable competitive advantages, predictable cash flows, and the ability to generate returns exceeding the cost of capital. Historically, the conglomerate has favored sectors such as consumer staples, financial services, and energy, while gradually adding large-cap technology stocks that meet its quality and stability criteria. This strategy has enabled Berkshire Hathaway to build a decades-long track record with net worth growth significantly outpacing market averages.
Key New Positions and Reinforcements
According to available information, the third-quarter 2026 filing indicates no new positions or notable reinforcements compared to previous disclosures. The ten listed assets account for nearly the entirety of the portfolio, representing 90.5% of total value. The lack of significant movements reflects Buffettâs decision to maintain current exposures, consistent with a long-term holding perspective.
Cuttings and Exits â What Buffett is Leaving Behind
The same filing reveals no reductions in stakes or complete exits from any holdings. None of the major ten assets have seen their weight decrease substantially, and no positions were liquidated. This stability underscores Buffettâs confidence in the strength of the companies held and the relevance of their business models within the current macroeconomic context.
Sector Breakdown of Top 10 and Macro Insights
By aggregating values, the most represented sectors are technology (Apple and Alphabet, totaling 34.6% of the portfolio), financial services (American Express and Bank of America, 26.3%), consumer staples (Coca-Cola and Kraft Heinz, 13.5%), and energy (Chevron and Occidental, 9.0%). This mix demonstrates Berkshire Hathawayâs strong exposure to high-margin businesses with the ability to withstand economic cycles, while increasingly integrating technology into its portfolio for diversification of growth sources. The weight of energy, despite oil price uncertainties, highlights Buffettâs preference for companies with stable cash flows and attractive dividends.
Limitations of the 13F: What This Filing DOESNâT Say
The 13F form, required by the SEC, only includes long positions in U.S. listed stocks and does not cover short sales, options, futures contracts, or non-U.S. securities. Additionally, the filing must be submitted within 45 days after the end of the quarter, creating a temporal lag between portfolio reality and published data. Thus, adjustments made after the quarterâs final day remain invisible in the report, as do exposures through funds or affiliated companies. Investors should therefore supplement 13F analysis with other information sources to gain a comprehensive view of Berkshire Hathawayâs strategy.
