Berkshire Hathaway's Largest Holding: Alphabet
Berkshire Hathaway has significantly increased its stake in Alphabet under new CEO Greg Abel, making it the third-largest position in the company’s portfolio. As of now, Alphabet accounts for approximately 12.6% of Berkshire's stock holdings. This investment reflects confidence in Alphabet's dominant market presence and growth potential. Alphabet continues to lead with a roughly 90% share of the global search engine market through Google, which supports its strong digital advertising business. While Meta Platforms is projected to surpass Alphabet as the top digital ads company by revenue this year, Alphabet’s ad segment still expects around 12% growth in 2026. Additionally, Alphabet's Google Cloud division has shown explosive growth of 82% year-over-year and is expected to continue expanding due to trends like artificial intelligence. Berkshire appears confident that Alphabet will maintain its leadership positions across multiple key markets.
