Berkshire Hathaway trimmed its gigantic Bank of America holding for the first time in four and a half years following the bank's strong 2024 run.

Warren Buffett 's Berkshire Hathaway has a new Wall Street analyst covering its stock, and he has mixed feelings about the conglomerate. The analyst thinks Berkshire is grappling with weakness in its noninsurance businesses including railroad, utilities service and retail, while its insurance operations continue to outperform. "Berkshire Hathaway's old-school conglomerate structure has faced challenges in a number of key areas of late despite being powered by an insurance business that continues to shine," Kligerman said in a note. Berkshire's insurance business has been a bright spot for the conglomerate. Correction: Of the seven analysts covering Berkshire, three have a hold rating, according to CNBC's research.

Sixteen years ago, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway unveiled a $230 million investment in Chinese electric vehicle startup BYD , sparking questions about the conglomerate's unusual foray into early-stage technology. Lately, Berkshire has been selling down the position, ringing the register after earning billions of dollars during its hyper-growth phase. Berkshire trimmed its BYD stake to 5.99% as of June 19 from 7% just a few days earlier , according to a Hong Kong Stock Exchange filing . It has since become the top car brand in China, as well as a major producer of EV batteries. "From a standing start at zero and with very little capital, he rapidly was able to create the best-selling single model in China," Munger said.

When Broadcom hit an all-time high earlier this week, its market capitalization briefly surpassed drug maker Eli Lilly's. As of Tuesday's close, Broadcom had a market cap of $839 billion, right behind Eli Lilly's $845 billion and Berkshire's $882 billion.

Nvidia 's furious rally to become the king of the megacap stocks has also put it above the entire stock market value of some of the world's largest economies. On Tuesday, Nvidia surpassed $3.3 trillion in market capitalization, moving it ahead of Microsoft as the biggest stock in the U.S. But its market cap had already raced ahead of the cumulative value for entire stock markets in Germany, France and the United Kingdom, measured individually and in U.S. dollars. Only India, Japan, China and the U.S. have stock markets bigger than Nvidia alone, according to Deutsche Bank. The rally has also fueled concerns about the concentration of the U.S. stock market in just a few technology names.

Berkshire Hathaway 's purchase of Treasury bills has been so aggressive that the Warren Buffett-controlled conglomerate now owns 3% of the entire bill market, according to JPMorgan.

The investment legend recently said he finds cash attractive compared to other assets, especially stocks. Berkshire's cash position may top $200 billion at the end of the second quarter, he added. "I don't mind at all, under current conditions, building the cash position," he said at Berkshire's shareholder confab.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has been a net seller of stocks for six straight quarters despite the recent disclosure of a headline-making purchase of a stake in insurer Chubb . In fact, Berkshire hasn't been a net buyer of stocks since the third quarter of 2022, according to an analysis of filings. The bulk of the first quarter selling came from trimming Berkshire's massive Apple bet by 13% after reaping enormous gains. "If I saw one of those now, I'd do it for Berkshire," Buffett told shareholders, referring to his Japanese investment. Berkshire's cash hoard reached a record $189 billion in the first quarter, up from almost $168 billion in the fourth quarter.

Warren Buffett's purchase of a 6.4% stake in Chubb makes perfect sense as the insurer checks all the boxes of the Oracle of Omaha's investment criteria, according to Deutsche Bank. "We believe that Chubb is an ideal fit for Warren Buffett's investment philosophy, characterized by high-quality business with strong [returns on equity], a robust economic moat, a proven track record of compounding returns, and a distinguished management team," Deutsche Bank analyst Cave Montazeri wrote in a note to clients. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway unveiled a $6.7 billion stake in Zurich-based Chubb in a new regulatory filing, ending months of speculation over the identity of the secret stock pick. Deutsche Bank said Chubb has a disciplined approach to underwriting and capital allocation and, in the near term, should benefit from earned pricing above loss costs, strong investment income and growth in its international operations. CB ALL mountain Chubb Deutsche Bank has a buy rating on Chubb and a 12-month price target of $278, implying a 10% gain from Wednesday's close of $252.97.
