Berkshire says ‘thanks, next’
Berkshire Hathaway just sold its remaining Amazon stake, which is the investing version of cleaning out the junk drawer and deciding you’re done with a favorite gadget. It’s a notable move because Berkshire doesn’t usually leave the party early unless it wants to redeploy that capital somewhere else.
Why this matters for AMZN
For Amazon shareholders, the headline is less about a dramatic business change and more about the signal. A giant, respected holder exiting can create a little emotional turbulence in the stock, even if Amazon’s core story — cloud, ads, Prime, and logistics — hasn’t changed one bit.
What Berkshire might be doing instead
The article’s framing suggests Berkshire isn’t just selling to sit on the couch. It’s shifting into something else, which is classic Buffett behavior: trim one position, pounce on another. That doesn’t automatically mean Amazon has a problem — it just means Berkshire found a better use for the cash.
Big picture: this is more portfolio chess than corporate drama, but when Berkshire moves a piece, Wall Street still leans in like it just heard the plot twist in the season finale.
