According to Bloomberg, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. reported a record cash pile of $276.9 billion in the second quarter. This news comes as billionaire Warren Buffett made some strategic moves, including slashing its Apple stake by almost 50% and refraining from making new acquisitions.
Despite the company’s cash reserves, Berkshire Hathaway saw its second-quarter operating earnings increase to $11.6 billion, up from $10 billion from the same period last year. The company also sold $75.5 billion worth of stock during the second quarter on a net basis.
Warren Buffett has been vocal about the challenges of finding lucrative investment opportunities in the current market environment. During the firm’s annual shareholder meeting in May, Buffett emphasized the importance of being patient and only making investments that offer high returns with minimal risk.
