Warren Buffett gave an interview to CNBC and offered several interesting insights into Berkshire Hathaway’s holdings, including Apple. Given his remarkable track record, investors always scrutinize what the Oracle of Omaha has to say.
While speaking with CNBC’s Becky Quick, Buffett discussed Berkshire’s decade-long position in Apple, which, at one point, accounted for roughly 40% of Berkshire’s huge equity portfolio.
In recent years, Berkshire has sold a significant portion of its Apple stake, prompting some investors to wonder whether the company is headed for a complete exit. New Berkshire CEO Greg Abel confirmed in a recent letter to shareholders that Berkshire plans to retain its current Apple position, which accounted for 23% of Berkshire’s stock portfolio at the end of 2025.
Buffett confirmed, saying, “I’m very happy to have it be our largest holding.” Buffett also added, “It’s not impossible that Apple would get to a price, we would buy a lot of it,” he added, “but not in this market.”
At the end of the day, it’s impossible to predict what the market will do in the near term. In such an uncertain environment, investors should listen to Buffett but also heed his advice of having a long-term mindset. Long-term investors will likely be able to ride out whatever happens to the market over the next year or two, as historical data suggests that the longer one holds stocks, the less likely they are to lose money.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple below $250 at the end of March was a buying opportunity, whether Buffet could see it or not.
