Buffett's "final masterpiece": Sold more Apple in Q4, reduced holdings in Bank of America and Amazon, first-time investment in The New York Times.

```

Berkshire Hathaway continued to adjust its holdings of tech giants in the last quarter before "stock god" Buffett stepped down as CEO, reducing several heavyweight stocks and, for the first time, establishing a position in traditional media company New York Times.

After the US stock market closed on Tuesday, February 17 Eastern Time, Berkshire submitted its 13F filing to the SEC, revealing that in the fourth quarter of 2025, it had sharply reduced its Amazon holdings by more than 77%, and had trimmed Apple holdings for the third consecutive quarter. Berkshire also continued selling Bank of America shares, bringing its ownership stake to just below 7%.

The New York Times was the only new stock position initiated by Berkshire in the fourth quarter, buying more than 5.06 million shares, with a market value of about $352 million. After the news was released, New York Times' stock price rose more than 10% in after-hours trading.

The report released this Tuesday was the last 13F holding report under Buffett after 60 years at the helm of Berkshire. Buffett's successor Greg Abel officially assumed the position of CEO on January 1, 2026. Berkshire will announce its full-year performance on February 28, when Abel will issue his first shareholder letter as CEO.
