Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Further Pares Bank Of America Stake, Offloads Shares Worth $3.8B In 2 Weeks
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK) (NYSE:BRK) has continued to sell off its holdings in Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC), with the total sales now exceeding $3.8 billion over the past two weeks.
沃伦·巴菲特的伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司（NYSE:BRK）在过去两周内继续抛售其在美国银行股份有限公司（NYSE:BAC）的股份，累计销售额现已超过38亿美元。
What Happened: Berkshire Hathaway, led by the legendary investor Buffett, has offloaded more than $3.8 billion worth of Bank of America shares since mid-July, reported Reuters, citing a regulatory filing on Thursday. The company sold approximately 19.2 million shares for about $779 million between Jul. 30 and Aug. 1.
发生了什么：由传奇投资者巴菲特领导的伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司自7月中旬以来已经卸下了价值超过38亿美元的美国银行股票，据路透社周四援引监管文件报导。该公司在7月30日至8月1日之间出售了约1920万股股票，价格约为7790万美元。
The conglomerate remains the largest shareholder of the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank, holding 942.4 million shares, which is about 12.1% of the shares outstanding, valued at around $37.2 billion.
该集团仍是总部位于北卡罗莱纳州夏洛特的银行的最大股东，持有9424万股股份，约占流通股的12.1%，价值约为372亿美元。
Berkshire is required to continue reporting sales until its stake falls below 10%. The company is set to report its second-quarter earnings on Saturday morning.
伯克希尔必须继续报告销售情况，直到其持股比例降至10%以下。该公司定于周六上午公布其第二季度收益报告。
The sales began after Bank of America's stock price had risen by about two-thirds since late October and traded at more than 1.2 times book value. This boosted the value of Berkshire's shares to over $45 billion, more than triple the $14.6 billion it paid for them.
在美国银行的股价自去年10月底以来上涨了约三分之二，并以超过1.2倍的账面价值交易后，这些销售行动开始了。这推高了伯克希尔的股票价值至超过450亿美元，是其支付股票价格14.6亿美元的三倍多。
Berkshire has been investing in Bank of America since 2011 when it purchased $5 billion of preferred stock, signaling Buffett's confidence in Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan's ability to restore the bank to health following the 2008 financial crisis.
自2011年以来，伯克希尔一直在投资美国银行，当时该公司购买了50亿美元的优先股，表明巴菲特对美国银行首席执行官布莱恩·莫尼汉（Brian Moynihan）恢复银行在2008年金融危机后的健康状况的能力充满信心。
Why It Matters: The recent sales are part of a broader trend of Berkshire Hathaway trimming its position in Bank of America. Earlier in July, Berkshire sold approximately 33.9 million Bank of America shares, worth around $1.48 billion, as disclosed in a regulatory filing with the SEC.
最近的销售是伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司削减其在美国银行持股的趋势的一部分。在7月早些时候，伯克希尔根据美国证券交易委员会的监管文件披露，已出售约3390万股银行股票，价值约1480万美元。
By the end of July, Berkshire had further reduced its stake by selling an additional 18.42 million shares valued at about $767 million. This brought Berkshire's holdings to 961.65 million shares, reducing its ownership to 12.49%.
截至7月底，伯克希尔通过出售价值约7670万美元的另外1842万股股票，进一步减持了其持股量，其持股总数降至9616.5万股，减持股份达到12.49%。
Warren Buffett's investment strategy often involves buying and holding winning stocks for the long term. However, the recent sales indicate a strategic move to capitalize on the significant appreciation in Bank of America's stock price.
沃伦·巴菲特的投资策略通常包括长期持有赢家股票。然而，最近的销售行动表明，这是一种利用美国银行股价显著上涨的战略性举动。
Buffett has often emphasized the importance of choosing the right heroes and role models in his investment journey. His admiration for figures like Benjamin Graham has shaped his investment philosophy, which continues to influence his decisions today.
巴菲特经常强调在其投资之旅中选择正确的英雄和角色模型的重要性。他对本杰明·格雷厄姆（Benjamin Graham）这样的人物的钦佩塑造了他的投资哲学，这继续影响着他今天的决策。
