Berkshire Hathaway holds $377.4B cash and sells more stocks amid market caution
Berkshire Hathaway reported a cash reserve of $377.4 billion while selling more stocks than it bought. In the third quarter the firm repurchased roughly $9.6 billion of its own shares, bringing total buybacks for 2026 to about $14.4 billion. Operating earnings for the quarter fell 5.8% year‑over‑year, driven by challenges in its insurance business. Analysts are watching the company’s cash deployment and potential market sentiment shifts that could affect large tech firms such as Alphabet.
