Buffett seeks companies with durable competitive advantages ("moats"), strong brands, pricing power, and consistent cash flow. Apple's ecosystem and Coca-Cola's distribution network exemplify this principle.
Buy at a significant discount to intrinsic value. Buffett's average cost basis in Apple (~$35) versus current prices (~$225) shows how patience and timing create massive margins of safety.
Unlike index diversification, Buffett concentrates capital in his highest-conviction ideas. Top 5 holdings represent 71% of the equity portfolio—betting big on what he understands best.
"We look for three things: intelligence, energy, and integrity. If they don't have the last one, the first two will kill you." Buffett partners with exceptional CEOs like Ajit Jain (insurance) and Greg Abel (operations).
Key Insight: Buffett doesn't just pick stocks—he buys pieces of businesses he'd be happy to own entirely if the market closed for 10 years.
Quarterly SEC report required for institutional managers with >$100M in assets. Shows equity holdings as of quarter-end, filed within 45 days. Source of all position data on this tracker.
Buying a stock at a price significantly below its estimated intrinsic value. Provides downside protection if analysis is imperfect. Core to Buffett's risk management.
Sustainable competitive advantage protecting a business from rivals. Types: brand strength (Coca-Cola), network effects (Apple), cost advantages (BNSF Railway), switching costs (See's Candies).
Berkshire's share of investee companies' retained earnings (not just dividends). Buffett believes this better reflects true economic ownership than GAAP accounting.
Position data comes directly from Berkshire Hathaway's official SEC 13F filings (latest: Q2 2026, filed August 14, 2026), showing holdings as of June 30, 2026. Stock prices update every 60 seconds via Twelve Data API. Note: 13F filings have a mandatory 45-day reporting delay and only include long U.S. equity positions—Berkshire's private holdings (GEICO, BNSF, etc.) and short positions are not disclosed.
Berkshire's $347 billion cash position (99.4% in U.S. Treasury Bills) reflects Buffett's disciplined patience. As he stated in the 2026 annual meeting: "We would rather be approximately right than precisely wrong." High cash levels provide: (1) optionality for major acquisitions during market stress, (2) protection against insurance catastrophe losses, and (3) avoidance of overpaying in elevated markets. This "dry powder" has historically generated exceptional returns when deployed opportunistically.
While educational, directly copying has significant limitations: (1) 45-day reporting lag means you see past positions, not current intentions, (2) Buffett's cost basis is often 70-90% below current prices, (3) Berkshire's scale allows deals unavailable to individuals, and (4) tax considerations differ vastly. Better approach: study Buffett's framework—business quality, margin of safety, long-term thinking—and apply it to your own research. As he advises: "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get."
Class A (BRK.A): Original shares, trade ~$685,000/share, full voting rights (1 vote/share), cannot be split. Class B (BRK.B): Created in 1996 for accessibility, trade ~$455/share, 1/1500th economic rights and 1/10,000th voting rights of Class A. Both represent identical ownership in Berkshire's businesses. Most individual investors use BRK.B for practicality. Neither pays dividends—Berkshire reinvests all earnings.
Following Berkshire's moves offers unique insights for investors at any level:
Pro Tip: Don't just track what Buffett buys—study why he sells. His exits often reveal more about valuation discipline than his entries.
