Berkshire Hathaway cuts Amazon, Apple stakes, invests in New York Times

Berkshire Hathaway trimmed its stake in Amazon by more than 75% in Q4 2025

Berkshire Hathaway trimmed its stake in Amazon by more than 75% in the fourth quarter of 2025, while Warren Buffett was still serving as CEO, and disclosed a new $350 million investment in The New York Times.

The US investment group acquired 5.1 million shares of The New York Times in the three months ending December 2025, valued at $351.7 million.

This marks a return to the media sector six years after Buffett sold all of Berkshire’s newspaper holdings, a move revealed in the company’s quarterly filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) detailing its year-end stock holdings.

The filing showed Berkshire increased its stake in oil giant Chevron to 6.5%, while continuing to sell shares in Bank of America and Apple, bringing its holdings to 7.1% and 1.5%, respectively.

Berkshire also reduced its investment in e-commerce firm Amazon to about 2.3 million shares, following its initial purchase in 2019.
