Berkshire Reveals $352 Million New York Times Stake, Slashes Amazon in Buffett’s Final Quarter as CEO

The filing provides the last portfolio snapshot of Warren Buffett’s tenure as CEO.

Overview

  • Berkshire disclosed a new position of about 5.1 million New York Times shares valued near $351.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.
  • The conglomerate sold roughly 7.7 million Amazon shares, cutting the holding by about 75–77% to around 2.3 million shares.
  • Apple was trimmed by about 4.3%, yet remained Berkshire’s largest equity position at roughly $62 billion at year-end.
  • Holdings in energy and insurance rose as Berkshire added to Chevron and Chubb, while stakes such as Bank of America were pared.
  • The February 17 SEC filing does not identify who placed the trades, and New York Times stock rose in after-hours trading after the disclosure, the last under Buffett before Greg Abel became CEO.
