According to the latest 13F filing, Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, cleared its position in Citigroup during the first quarter, reduced partial holdings in Bank of America and Capital One Financial Corporation. The top five holdings remain Apple, American Express, Coca-Cola, Bank of America, and Chevron.

Apple continues to be Berkshire's largest single holding, with 300 million shares representing approximately 26% of its entire stock portfolio. Although Berkshire had significantly reduced its Apple position previously, it did not further trim holdings in Q1.

Additionally, during the first quarter, Berkshire significantly increased its stake in beer manufacturer Constellation Brands Inc., purchasing 6,384,676 shares and boosting its position by over 113%, bringing the total number of shares held to 12,009,000.

Berkshire also filed a confidentiality request with the SEC to temporarily exclude one or more stock investments from its 13-F report. Analysts noted that if the newly added confidential position involves only one stock, its investment scale is relatively small, ranging between $1 billion and $2 billion, and the new investment is likely classified as part of Berkshire's business and industrial stock portfolio.

Overall, analysis from media outlets indicates that Buffett and his two investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, made relatively few buying and selling moves in equities during this quarter. Combs and Weschler jointly manage approximately 10% of Berkshire's stock portfolio, while the remaining portion is overseen by Buffett himself.
