Billionaire investor Warren Buffett remained a hands-off observer as the first quarter of 2025 saw market volatility. Despite selling significant holdings in financial sectors, including Bank of America, Capital One, and Citigroup, he avoided making new investments. This strategic move is evident in Berkshire Hathaway’s latest Form 13F filing, which revealed a net outflow of $4.7 billion while only buying $3.2 billion worth of stocks during the first quarter. These sales primarily impacted the financial sector. Buffett’s approach reflects his long-standing strategy of focusing on quality companies and holding onto stable investments like Apple. 2025 saw him make a big move as he unveiled plans to step down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, with Greg Abel taking over in January 2026.
