Tap title to read story
Berkshire Hathaway, the U.S. conglomerate led by Warren Buffett, executed a large-scale divestment of technology and AI-linked stocks during early trading on June 13, 2026, according to regulatory filings and market reports. The firm liquidated positions in several companies central to the recent artificial intelligence market rally, shifting capital toward cash and traditional industrial assets. The move coincided with a 2.1% pre-market drop in the Nasdaq Composite as investors reacted to the unexpected repositioning. Analysts describe the shift as a key signal amid rising energy costs, inflationary pressures related to conflict in the Middle East, and debate over an AI-driven market bubble. Berkshire has not issued a formal explanation.
