Tech Rebound or Tech Abandonment: How Do You View Buffett’s Final Portfolio?
Warren Buffett’s final portfolio adjustment before stepping down as CEO is more than just another 13F filing.
With the latest 13F disclosure from Berkshire Hathaway, the legendary Warren Buffett’s final portfolio shift before retiring as CEO has come to light. This $274 billion portfolio is not just the Oracle’s "curtain call"—it serves as a massive question mark:
In the AI-driven world of 2026, is Big Tech still the place to be?
1. Contradictory Signals: The Oracle Retreats, Institutions "Underweight"?
Buffett’s moves remain characteristically decisive and defensive:
-
$Apple(AAPL)$ was trimmed for the third straight quarter, and Amazon was slashed by a staggering 77%.
-
Increased stakes in $Chevron(CVX)$ and $Chubb(CB)$, and even initiated a new position in $New York Times(NYT)$.
-
Record-breaking $381.7 billion in cash on hand.
2. Early 2026 Slump: A Bursting Bubble or a "Loading" Opportunity?
Tech stocks certainly faced a "winter chill" at the start of 2026. $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ recently suffered a five-week losing streak, its longest in nearly four years.
Institutions are currently in their most significant "underweight" position on tech in 17 years.
Data shows that the gap between Mega-cap tech weight in institutional portfolios and the S&P 500 benchmark has widened to -155 basis points. Interestingly, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ has become the most under-owned stock (a gap of -2.57%), followed closely by Microsoft and Amazon.
The burning question: If both Buffett and major institutions are cutting exposure or underweighting, who is buying the dip?
3. Investors are starting to realize they may have "overreacted"?
The previous sell-off has turned several high-flying leaders into unexpectedly attractive value plays.
The Nasdaq has rallied for consecutive days as the market re-evaluates the value-creation potential of Adobe and Microsoft in the generative AI space. While hardwarew remains the "AI bedrock," capital is moving from "blind betting" to "selective picking."
Join the Discussion:
Should we follow Buffett’s lead and sit on cash?
Is this a final warning about a tech bubble, or is it simply the closing of one era?
Do you think now is the time to "buy the dip" on NVIDIA and Microsoft,

I remember the headlines being shouted in the media is either, old news or fake news. who pays the analysts wages? not the investing public but the big institutions who sit on the opposite of my trades.
