今晚，全球聚焦巴菲特

Group 1 - The market is focused on the upcoming 13F holdings report from Berkshire Hathaway, which is due to be filed with the SEC by August 14, revealing Warren Buffett's latest positions as of June 30 [1] - The report is expected to clarify two key questions: whether Buffett has continued to reduce his stake in Apple and the identity of a mysterious investment totaling nearly $5 billion [2] - Speculation about the mysterious investment points to the industrial sector, as Berkshire's 10-Q report did not detail smaller investments outside of major holdings like Apple and American Express, categorizing nearly $300 billion in equity investments into three broad categories: financial, consumer goods, and "commercial, industrial, and other" [3][4] Group 2 - In the first quarter, the cost basis for the "commercial, industrial, and other" category increased by nearly $2 billion, but no corresponding large industrial stock purchases were reported in the May 13-F filing [4] - In the second quarter, the cost basis for this category rose again by $2.8 billion, leading to speculation that the total investment could reach $4.8 billion, likely targeting a large industrial company [5] - On the sell side, a reduction in holdings of Bank of America is almost certain, with Berkshire's stake dropping from 1.03 billion shares to 631 million shares, a decline of nearly 40% [6] Group 3 - Apple remains the focal point, as it constitutes the largest single holding in Berkshire's investment portfolio, accounting for approximately 25% of the total stock investments as of the end of the first quarter, with a market value of $66.6 billion [7] - Buffett has indicated multiple times this year that he would make "rational adjustments" when valuations are appropriate, raising speculation about whether he has restarted the reduction of his Apple position in the second quarter [8]
