Warren Buffett's secret portfolio is selling Alphabet shares despite their promising future

From Nasdaq: 2025-01-16 05:06:00

Warren Buffett’s successful investing track record with Berkshire Hathaway has gained attention from investors over the years, with a cumulative gain of over 5,385,000% in Class A shares.

Form 13F filings give insight into Buffett’s 44-stock, $292 billion portfolio at Berkshire Hathaway, but they don’t reveal the entirety of the securities held by the company.

Berkshire Hathaway’s acquisition of General Re in 1998 included ownership of New England Asset Management, leading to a $642 million “secret” portfolio managed by NEAM. Buffett’s hidden portfolio has been a seller of high-growth tech stocks lately.

NEAM’s selling of Alphabet shares has reduced its holdings by 83% over 15 months, despite AI’s promising future growth potential. Google Cloud’s strong market position and Alphabet’s solid financials make it an attractive investment opportunity.

Buffett’s secret portfolio’s reduction of its Alphabet stake could be a mistake, as the stock remains historically cheap compared to other AI stocks with premium valuations. Alphabet’s dominant search engine and cash-rich balance sheet add to its investment appeal.
