- Berkshire Hathaway broke a 14-quarter net selling streak with $23.5B in stock purchases, and its cash balances retreated as the company deployed capital.
- Greg Abel directed a big chunk of Berkshire's cash into markets, with $10B of the total going to a single company at a private price — a negotiated deal rather than open-market buying.
Why it matters: After 14 straight quarters of selling, Berkshire has flipped to deploying roughly $23.5B into equities, and the $10B single-company, private-price allocation shows Abel is willing to strike concentrated, bespoke deals — not just shop the open market. With cash balances retreating, the build-up phase that defined the late-Buffett era is over.
