Berkshire Hathaway’s cash reserves dipped to $365 billion, signaling a strategic pivot under new CEO Greg Abel—now a net buyer after three years of selling. Abel streamlined holdings, exiting smaller plays like Amazon and Constellation Brands while acquiring Occidental’s chemicals for $9.7 billion and homebuilder Taylor Morrison for $6.8 billion. Share buybacks hit $4 billion in Q2, and Alphabet surged into a core holding with a $10 billion private placement. Despite the shift, Berkshire still holds over $360 billion in cash, betting big on specific opportunities rather than the market at large.
