Quick Read Abel snapped Berkshire's 14-quarter net-selling streak by deploying $20 billion more into equities than he sold and ramping buybacks to $4.5 billion in Q2 2026. Alphabet surged 224% in Berkshire's portfolio in a single quarter to claim the 5th-largest spot, anchored by a $10 billion AI infrastructure investment. Apple's portfolio share collapsed from over 50% at its peak to just 20%, while Bank of America was trimmed nearly in half since mid-2024.

How to read the score
It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.
Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
