Berkshire Hathaway's new CEO Greg Abel has made significant investments from the company's cash reserves, including a $10 billion investment in Alphabet, Google's parent company, and a $4.5 billion share repurchase. This move comes as the company's cash holdings decreased from nearly $400 billion to $365.5 billion by the end of the second quarter.
The company reported adding over $21 billion worth of commercial and industrial stocks to its portfolio, although the specific stocks acquired will be disclosed in a separate filing later this month. Abel, who took over as CEO in January, has emphasized the importance of share repurchases, with the recent buybacks marking a return to this practice after a hiatus of over two years.
Berkshire Hathaway's profit more than doubled to $25.667 billion in the second quarter, driven by a significant paper gain in the value of its investments. The company's operating profit also showed growth, reaching $12.983 billion, indicating a positive trend in its core business operations.
伯克希尔哈撒韦新任首席执行官格雷格·阿贝尔花费公司巨额现金
伯克希尔哈撒韦新任首席执行官格雷格·阿贝尔从公司的现金储备中进行了重大投资，包括对谷歌母公司Alphabet的100亿美元投资和45亿美元的股份回购。这一举措发生在公司现金持有量从近4000亿美元减少到3655亿美元的背景下。
公司报告称其投资组合中新增了超过210亿美元的商业和工业股票，尽管具体收购的股票将在本月稍后的单独文件中披露。阿贝尔于一月份接任首席执行官，强调了股份回购的重要性，最近的回购标志着在两年多的暂停后重新恢复这一做法。
伯克希尔哈撒韦的利润在第二季度超过256.67亿美元，主要得益于投资价值的显著纸面收益。公司的运营利润也显示出增长，达到129.83亿美元，表明其核心业务运营呈现积极趋势。
