Berkshire Hathaway invests $17B in Alphabet, signaling strong confidence in AI and cloud growth.

Greg Abel, Warren Buffett's successor at Berkshire Hathaway, invested about $17 billion in Alphabet during Q2 2026, making it a core holding. This move aligns with Alphabet's strong fundamentals, including 24.2% revenue growth and a low valuation. Abel also showed selective caution by trimming Bank of America shares, re-entered airlines via Delta Air Lines, and expressed optimism in housing through homebuilders like D.R. Horton. The Alphabet purchase highlights confidence in AI and cloud services as key growth drivers, with a long-term investment horizon expected.
