Berkshire Hathaway’s Q3 Form 13F filed Nov. 14, 2025, showed it established a new position in Alphabet and further trimmed its Apple holdings, signaling a late-quarter portfolio reweighting as Warren Buffett prepares to step down as CEO at year-end.

The SEC filing for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025, showed Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A, BRK-B) held 17.85 million Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) shares valued at $4.3 billion. The filing also revealed additional reductions in Berkshire’s Apple (AAPL) stake during the quarter, continuing its trend of lowering exposure to the consumer-technology company.

This quarter’s portfolio update is the last overseen by Warren Buffett as CEO. Greg Abel is set to succeed him at year-end, while Buffett will remain chairman and continue writing the annual shareholder letter. Berkshire was a net seller of equities for the twelfth consecutive quarter and did not repurchase its own shares for the fifth straight quarter. The filing and related communications included no formal forward-looking guidance.

Together, the new Alphabet holding and further Apple trimming represent a late-quarter reallocation of Berkshire’s technology exposure coinciding with the CEO transition. This provides investors with a factual context to reassess the conglomerate’s sector positioning.
