Check Out How Warren Buffett's Portfolio Changed in Berkshire's Latest 13F

The Q3 13F filings, released yesterday, reveal the latest positions of prominent investors and major hedge funds. These filings, required by the SEC for entities managing over $100 million, detail quarterly share and ETF transactions.

Berkshire Hathaway acquired about 690,000 Ulta Beauty shares worth approximately $266 million as of June 30, causing Ulta's stock to soar 14% in extended trading on Wednesday. Buffett also bought around a million Heico Corp. shares, with Heico's stock rising nearly 4% after hours.

The filing shows Berkshire's exit from Paramount Global, a loss-making investment Buffett had acknowledged at the May shareholder meeting, and the complete sale of its 6.1 million-share stake in Snowflake, previously valued at about $989 million at Q1's end. Berkshire halved its Apple stake to 400,000 shares valued at $84.2 billion by Q2's end and sold nearly 4.3 million Chevron shares, though Chevron's portfolio weight increased to 6.6%. Other notable sales included 2.6 million Capital One shares, 800,000 Floor & Decor shares, and 570,000 T-Mobile shares. As a result of all the selling, Berkshire's already massive cash pile has ballooned to the record level of $277 billion.

Buffett also added 7.2 million Occidental Petroleum shares, bringing the total to roughly 255 million shares valued at nearly $16 billion (5.7% of the portfolio), and over 1.1 million Chubb Limited shares, increasing the count to 27 million.
