Warren Buffett reduced holdings in Amazon and Apple

Berkshire Hathaway reduced its stake in Amazon by approximately 75% to 80% in the fourth quarter $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ Shares, this is one of the most aggressive moves in the document. At the same time, the company also reduced its stake in Apple by about 4%. $Apple (AAPL.US)$ Given that Apple remains the largest holding in its $274 billion stock portfolio, this reduction is particularly noteworthy.
The media focuses on which stocks were sold, but new holdings are equally important.
Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a new investment in The New York Times, marking the company's return to the media sector after exiting the newspaper industry for many years. The filing also shows adjustments to its stakes in the financial and energy sectors, including changes in Bank of America (BAC) and Chevron (CVX) holdings.
Despite reducing its stake in Amazon, the portfolio remains fairly concentrated. Apple, American Express, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, and Chevron still account for a significant portion of the equity portfolio.
This is not a wholesale sell-off of stocks, but rather a deliberate reallocation of capital: strengthening core investment themes while reducing exposure to specific tech stocks.
