-

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. led by renowned investor Warren Buffett, has announced a reduction in its stake in Bank of America Corp. {NYSE:BAC}. The company sold 9.5 million shares, which were valued at around $382.4 million. As a result of this transaction, Berkshire’s ownership in Bank of America has fallen below the 10% threshold. According to US Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, shareholders with more than 10% ownership are required to disclose trades within a two-day period.
With the stake now below 10%, investors will need to await Berkshire's quarterly reports to ascertain whether further shares were sold. This latest sale follows a pattern established earlier this year when Berkshire began trimming its position in Bank of America, having previously sold 33.9 million shares for approximately $1.48 billion in July.
Warren Buffett first initiated his investment in Bank of America in 2011, and the banking giant is scheduled to report its earnings next week. This recent activity aligns with Berkshire’s broader strategy of managing its portfolio, which has included a significant reduction in its stake in Apple earlier in the year.
The decision to reduce holdings in major financial institutions reflects a tactical adjustment by Berkshire Hathaway, indicating a potential reevaluation of sector exposure. As the financial landscape evolves, stakeholders will closely monitor Berkshire's upcoming quarterly reports for further insights into its investment strategy and any additional changes in its holdings within the banking sector.
