伯克希尔·哈撒韦在多年大规模减持并累积创纪录现金储备之后,已在新任首席执行官格雷格·阿贝尔 (Greg Abel) 的领导下开始重新部署资本。公司投资了 100 亿美元购买 Alphabet 股票,并以 68 亿美元收购住宅建筑商 Taylor Morrison Home,使其庞大的现金储备从历史高位下降。
现金储备从历史高点回落
伯克希尔的现金储备此前一度接近 4000 亿美元,如今已降至约 3655 亿美元,反映出阿贝尔开始积极使用资本。这一变化发生在巴菲特领导时期连续 14 个季度净卖出股票之后。
阿贝尔主导的主要动作
- Alphabet 投资: 伯克希尔通过私募方式购买了 Alphabet 的 A 类和 C 类股票,总额达 100 亿美元,使 Alphabet 成为其前五大股票持仓之一,显示出对 AI 基础设施的强烈押注。
- 收购 Taylor Morrison: 68 亿美元的收购是阿贝尔担任 CEO 后的首笔重大并购。他暗示可能将 Taylor Morrison 与伯克希尔旗下的 Clayton Homes 整合,打造统一的住宅建造平台。
- 股票回购: 伯克希尔在第二季度回购了约 45 亿美元的自家股票,进一步体现阿贝尔更积极的资本使用态度。
这意味着什么
阿贝尔的举措显示出比巴菲特晚期更积极的资本配置策略。伯克希尔正在:
- 结束长期的净卖出趋势
- 将资本投入 科技 与 住房 两大领域
- 降低其庞大的现金缓冲
- 可能通过整合重塑旗下运营子公司结构
这些动作表明伯克希尔正在押注 AI 基础设施与美国住房需求这两条具有长期顺风的赛道。
Berkshire Hathaway has indeed shifted from years of net selling to active capital deployment under CEO Greg Abel. The company has invested $10 billion in Alphabet and spent $6.8 billion to acquire Taylor Morrison Home, marking a clear reversal from its long stretch of building a record cash pile.

Cash Pile Declines From Historic Highs
Berkshire’s cash reserves, which had climbed to nearly $400 billion, have now fallen to about $365.5 billion as Abel begins deploying capital. This shift follows 14 consecutive quarters of net stock selling under Buffett. U.S. News & World Report The Motley Fool
Major Moves Under Greg Abel
- Alphabet investment — Berkshire purchased $10 billion of Alphabet Class A and C shares in a private placement, making Alphabet one of its top five equity positions and signaling a strong bet on AI infrastructure. The Motley Fool Reuters
- Taylor Morrison acquisition — The $6.8 billion purchase marks Abel’s first major acquisition as CEO. He has hinted at consolidating Taylor Morrison with Berkshire’s Clayton Homes to build a unified homebuilding platform. AP News Reuters
- Share buybacks — Berkshire repurchased roughly $4.5 billion of its own shares in the second quarter, reinforcing Abel’s willingness to deploy capital more aggressively. U.S. News & World Report
What This Signals
Abel’s actions suggest a more active capital allocation strategy than Buffett’s late-period conservatism. Berkshire is:
- Reversing its long selling streak
- Deploying capital into both tech and housing
- Reducing its massive cash buffer
- Potentially reshaping operating subsidiaries through consolidation
These moves may indicate Berkshire is positioning for growth in AI infrastructure and U.S. housing demand—two sectors with long-term tailwinds.
