Alphabet's shares rose over 5% in premarket trading. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has built a $4.3bn stake in $Alphabet(GOOGL)$, in what could be one of the conglomerate’s final new stock positions under the legendary investor as he nears retirement at the end of this year.
The new stake in Google’s parent company is Berkshire’s tenth-largest stock holding and somewhat of a deviation from Buffett’s philosophy of opting for long-term, buy-and-hold value stocks over high-growth companies.
A total number of 57,757 options related to $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ was traded on Monday, of which 64% were call options. A particularly high open interest was seen for the $300 strike call options expiring this Friday, with a total number of 20,615 unclosed options as of Friday.
