Warren Buffett's Apple Bet Is Still Berkshire Hathaway's Biggest Stock Holding at 22% of the Portfolio
Berkshire's Apple trim is a lesson in diversification, and the stake it held on to shows conviction.
Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, continues to maintain Apple (AAPL) as the single largest holding in the conglomerate's investment portfolio, representing approximately 22% of the total portfolio. This is despite Berkshire selling off hundreds of millions of Apple shares during Buffett's tenure as CEO. The current stake signifies confidence in Apple's prospects, as indicated by the company's record-breaking revenue and installed base of active devices.
Apple's services segment, including the App Store and subscriptions, generated $30.7 billion in revenue, showcasing a gross margin of about 76%. Buffett, who once sold his Apple shares too early, has indicated that he would buy more Apple stock at the right price. Berkshire Hathaway reduced its stake from around 915 million shares in mid-2023 to its current holding of 227.9 million shares, a reduction of roughly 75%.
While Apple's stake still poses a risk to the diversified portfolio, it remains the largest holding, and Berkshire hasn't sold any Apple shares since the end of 2025. Apple is expected to report on November 2 under its new CEO, John Ternus, and Berkshire's next 13F filing is due by November 16.
