Berkshire Hathaway has fully sold its stake in UnitedHealth Group after buying in mid-2025 when the stock was deeply depressed. The shares rose 45% from $271 to nearly $394 in about nine months, allowing Berkshire to lock in quick profits. This move reflects new CEO Greg Abel's strategy to reduce exposure to businesses facing increased risks, such as healthcare insurers under regulatory and political pressure. While UnitedHealth still generates strong cash flow, Abel's sale suggests the easy recovery gains may be over, though long-term investors might not need to sell immediately.
