Despite Apple being one of the most important and successful investments in their portfolio, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathway is expected to sell a remarkable $25 billion in AAPL stock in Q4. Indeed, the sale continues what has been a trend of offloading the stock for the holding company.

It has been a rather inconsistent year for Apple stock, as the company has failed to find its footing. Moreover, the ongoing sell-off by the Buffett-led holding company has sparked some concern. So, is there reason to believe the sales are a reflection of what investors can expect from the stock this year?

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway to Offload $25 Billion in Apple Stock in Q4

There have been some investors who are growing concerned with Apple stock. Returning US President Donald Trump has enacted an aggressive economic policy that could threaten a host of companies. With a trade war with China brewing, there is some concerns that the iPhone development could be among the most affected.

However, that doesn’t completely speak to the story regarding Apple’s position in Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway portfolio, as the holding company is set to sell $25 billion worth of the stock in Q4. Interestingly, the sales have persisted since Apple’s holding peaked in Q3 two years ago when Berkshire held more than 900 million shares, according to MSN.

At that time, the stock made up more than 50% of the company’s portfolio. Moreover, at a $150 billion value, there was no denying its importance. As of Q3 last year, ownership of AAPL stock fell by Warren Buffett’s company to just 300 million shares, valued at just under $70 billion.

This set up a continued pattern, according to the report. Still, Apple remains Buffett’s largest holding at 23% of Berkshire’s portfolio. However, if the Q4 sale comes to fruition, it would drop to second. Indeed, it would fall below American Express (AXP), which makes up 16% of its portfolio.
