Markets Insider.

  • Recent 13F filings revealed big changes to the stock holdings of Warren Buffett’s conglomerate.

  • Berkshire Hathaway sold its entire stakes in US banks like BNY Mellon and US Bancorp, while it bought a new stake in Capital One.

  • These are the top 10 stocks held in Berkshire Hathaway’s $325 billion stock portfolio as of March 31.

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway last quarter made a lot of changes to its US stock portfolio, which as of March 31 was worth $325 billion.

The conglomerate sold its long-held stakes in US bank stocks BNY Mellon and US Bancorp, while it took some of those proceeds to buy a new $1 billion stake in Capital One Financial. It also continued to add to its Occidental Petroleum stake, and sold its entire RH position, which sparked a big sell-off in that stock.

With various portfolio changes in the first quarter of the year, Berkshire Hathaway’s top 10 holdings of US stocks has shifted, though Apple still represents a near 50% of the portfolio. In fact, the top 10 positions in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio make up a massive 90.2% of its entire portfolio.

That concentration shouldn’t be a problem for Buffett, as he has previously said: “Diversification may preserve wealth, but concentration builds wealth.”

These are the top 10 stocks held in Berkshire Hathaway’s $325 billion US stock portfolio as of March 31.
