Will Investors Follow Buffett in Dumping Apple Stock? Here's What Hedge Funds Are Doing
Last Friday's weaker-than-expected jobs report drove the tech sector and overall U.S. equity market lower as fears mounted about a potential recession. Reports then broke about Warren Buffett and $Berkshire Hathaway-B (BRK.B.US)$ selling half of its $Apple (AAPL.US)$, further escalating the fears about the health of the market.
上周五财报表现低于预期，引发了对经济衰退的担忧，推动科技板块和整个美国股票市场走低。接着，有报道称沃伦•巴菲特和其他一些基金大量售出苹果股票，更进一步引发了市场健康的担忧。 $伯克希尔-B (BRK.B.US)$ 出售了一半的股份 $苹果 (AAPL.US)$更进一步加剧了市场健康的担忧。
In the first quarter of 2024, Buffett trimmed Berkshire's Apple stake, selling a little more than 100 million shares. In the second quarter, Berkshire shed another 390 million shares, according to filings.
Despite the sales, Apple remains Berkshire's largest public holding, as the Buffett-backed investment firm still holds around 400 million shares of Apple, worth nearly $90 billion.
2024年第一季，巴菲特减持了伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的苹果股份，卖出了10000万股左右。根据申报文件，第二季度，伯克希尔哈撒韦公司又抛售了39000万股。
尽管出售了部分股份，但苹果仍然是伯克希尔哈撒韦公司的最大公共持有股，该公司仍持有大约40000万股苹果公司，价值近900亿美元。
