Coverage
We Said Buffett's Apple Selling Was the Statement. Apple Then Became the Most Valuable Company in the World.
In February we argued that Warren Buffett quietly selling down two-thirds of his Apple stake was itself the argument. Five months later Apple overtook Nvidia to become the most valuable company on earth — and we never wrote the follow-up. Berkshire reports Monday, for the third time under a different CEO, and the number most likely to be misread is its earnings per share.
Apple Just Posted Its Best Quarter Ever. Buffett Kept Selling.
Apple posted a record $143.7B quarter with 16% revenue growth. Buffett sold another 10.3M shares. The FTC is circling. And the stock is down 8% from its January highs. Something doesn't add up.
