Berkshire's net stock purchases in Q2 were approximately $20 billion, ending a 14-quarter net selling period, shifting from waiting to action

Berkshire Hathaway today released its Q2 2026 financial report, with the most market attention focused on the cash reserves dropping to $36.551 billion in the second quarter, down from about $39.74 billion in the first quarter. This marks the end of Berkshire's 14 consecutive quarters of net selling, turning into a significant net buying for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2022.In the financial report, Berkshire's net stock purchases in the second quarter were nearly $20 billion, including about $10 billion in a private placement from Google's parent company Alphabet to support investments such as its AI data centers. Approximately $6.8 billion was spent to acquire homebuilder Taylor Morrison, which was a complete acquisition and not entirely a public market stock transaction. About $4.5 billion was used to repurchase its own shares. After deducting the above major items, there remains about $3 billion of "unexplained" net purchases of public market equities, with specific stocks to be disclosed in the 13F filing around August 14. Currently, Alphabet officially enters Berkshire's top five holdings, alongside American Express, Apple, Bank of America, and Coca-Cola, with the top five holdings accounting for about 66% of the stock portfolio.Buffett previously stated that the long net selling period was mainly due to high market valuations, making it difficult to find sufficiently attractive opportunities. This shift is seen as a clear signal of more aggressive capital allocation under Abel's leadership as CEO, with Berkshire moving from "patient waiting" to "starting to act."

Analysis: The market digests SpaceX's selling pressure, the release of stocks worth hundreds of billions of dollars has landed, but the stock price has not seen a significant drop

According to Bloomberg, SpaceX's stock performed relatively steadily on Thursday, following the expiration of a lock-up agreement that restricted insiders from selling shares, involving the release of approximately 911.5 million shares, valued at about $100 billion based on current estimates.Trading data shows that SpaceX's stock price fluctuated within a range of less than 3% in the early morning, as the market digested the potential selling pressure from this large-scale share release. In the first 30 minutes after the market opened, the trading volume approached 93 million shares, accounting for about 40% of the total trading volume from the previous trading day.This release occurred shortly after SpaceX's first financial report was published. Previously, due to concerns from investors about the company's investment in artificial intelligence being higher than expected, SpaceX's stock price had dropped by about 14%. However, most Wall Street analysts still maintain a long-term optimistic view of the company.The market's focus includes SpaceX's future investment plans in AI, satellite internet, and mobile communications. Although facing short-term capital expenditure pressures, analysts believe that the company's leading position in rocket launches, the Starlink satellite network, and the commercial space sector remains an important factor supporting its long-term valuation.This stock release, valued at approximately $100 billion, has also become an important event for the market to test investor confidence after SpaceX's listing. The stock price did not experience significant fluctuations, indicating that the market had certain expectations regarding the liquidity release for internal shareholders.
