Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway significantly cut its stakes in some
of the largest US banks in the second quarter, selling billions of
dollars worth of stock in Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and other
financial institutions.
Berkshire Hathaway disclosed on Friday it had sold 85.6m shares of Wells
Fargo in the quarter, reducing its stake from 7.9 per cent to 5.8 per
cent of the lender, according to a filing with US securities
regulators. Berkshire also sold 35.5m shares of JPMorgan, lowering its
stake to 0.7 per cent from 1.9 per cent, and a substantial minority of
its longtime holding PNC Financial.
Mr Buffett sold the last of his financial crisis-era investment in
Goldman Sachs in the quarter, which was worth just under $300m at the
end of March. He cut Berkshire’s stakes in M & T Bank, Bank of New York
Mellon, US Bancorp, Mastercard and Visa as well. In total, including
both financial and non-financial stocks, Berkshire dumped $12.8bn worth
of shares in the quarter.
Through Berkshire, Mr Buffett is one of the single-biggest shareholders
in US banks and his decision to pare back his exposure will be parsed
by investors globally, especially given the timing.
