Some of Berkshire's Newest Bets Aren't American. Greg Abel Bought 3 Japanese Trading Houses Last Quarter.
Yahoo Finance ·
Since Greg Abel took over as Berkshire Hathaway 's ( BRKA 0.18% ) ( BRKB 0.45% ) CEO at the start of the year, investors have been watching to see what he does with the conglomerate's war chest. Filings with Japanese regulators gave an early answer last quarter. Berkshire disclosed that its stake in trading house Mitsubishi ( MSBHF 1.14% ) climbed to 11.1% as of April 30. Its stake in Sumitomo ( SSUMY 3.31% ) reached 10.3% as of May 12, up from 9.3%. And Marubeni ( MARUY 0.35% ) is on the list, too. Berkshire's buying has pushed its holdings in both Sumitomo and Marubeni above 10%, cementing the conglomerate's position as the largest shareholder of both companies. These are three of the five Japanese trading houses ( Itochu and Mitsui are the other two) that Berkshire began buying in 2019 under Warren Buffett , who remains chairman. The original thesis has already paid off handsomely. So why does Berkshire keep adding? To me, the numbers make the case better than any story could.
