Berkshire Hathaway reduced its Bank of America stake by roughly 30.2 million shares, or 5.9%, during the second quarter of 2026, a reduction valued at about $1.7 billion at quarter-end prices, according to its Aug. 14 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The sale marked the eighth consecutive quarter of reductions in the Charlotte-based lender and extended a process that began under former CEO Warren Buffett and continued under his successor, Greg Abel. Berkshire also added about 17.5 million Delta Air Lines shares, increasing that holding 44% to 57.3 million shares worth approximately $5.4 billion. The purchase reverses Buffett's 2020 decision to sell Berkshire's airline holdings, which included Delta, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines, for more than $4 billion combined. Berkshire also sold its Lennar Class A position, reduced Capital One by $795 million and cut Kroger by $700 million, while keeping Apple, American Express and Coca-Cola unchanged. The filing shows a broader shift toward fewer and more concentrated positions, including major new Alphabet holdings: $7.9 billion in Class A shares and $7.6 billion in Class C shares. Bank of America continues to report strong operating results, including second-quarter net income of $9.1 billion, up 27% year over year, and revenue of $31.6 billion, up 15%, suggesting Berkshire's sales reflect capital redeployment rather than a stated deterioration in the bank's business. Berkshire's managed securities totaled $299.25 billion, with its 10 largest holdings representing 88.47% of the portfolio. Bank of America shares were trading at $62.95, up 15.69% year to date, and remained resilient despite the gradual selling.
