Berkshire Hathaway, under the guidance of Warren Buffett and Greg Abel, expanded its holdings in Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) during the second quarter, marking its third-largest position. This investment, valued at $36.6 billion, reflects increasing confidence in Alphabet's AI infrastructure investments and its competitive advantages, including network effects and brand value.
Despite Alphabet's recent $5.9 billion negative free cash flow in the second quarter due to a $200 billion planned expenditure for AI infrastructure in 2026, Berkshire's stake signals belief in the potential for satisfactory returns on invested capital. Alphabet's robust income statement performance, with a 35% operating margin in the first half of 2026 and substantial cash reserves, supports this optimistic outlook.
