What Is Berkshire Hathaway Buying Now?

The short answer. Berkshire's most recent 13F and the tables below are read from it live. The headline move of 2026 was Alphabet, raised 45% in Class A shares in the second quarter — roughly $17 billion — disclosed in the filing due 14 August 2026.

Checked 1 October 2026. Last change to the facts below: the Q2 2026 13F filings of 14 August 2026. If those dates are far apart, the legislative position may have moved since this was last edited.

Who is making these decisions now?

Greg Abel has been chief executive since January 2026. Warren Buffett stepped down as chairman on 18 September 2026, succeeded by his son Howard Buffett, and stayed on the board. Berkshire's listed equities are managed by Todd Combs and Ted Weschler alongside the chief executive, and the 13F does not attribute any individual position to any of them.

How current is this?

Not very, and that is structural rather than a failing of this page. A 13F reports positions as at the quarter end and is due 45 days later. So on any day of the year the newest institutional ownership data available to anyone is between 45 and 135 days old. Everything above carries that lag.

Can I just copy it?

You can see it, which is not the same thing. The filing omits the cost basis, the reasoning, the time horizon, everything held outside US-listed equities, and — for Berkshire in particular — the wholly owned operating businesses that make up most of the company. Buying a name because Berkshire did, without its balance sheet or its holding period, is not the same trade.

The whole filed portfolio is on Berkshire Hathaway's fund page. The Alphabet stake has its own explainer, and whether you can simply copy the portfolio is a separate question.

What this page cannot tell you

What Berkshire owns today, what it paid, or why. Only what it held on the last quarter end it has reported.
