Warren Buffett Berkshire Hethai revealed a new share in a problem insurer Unitedhealth In the last quarter, according to a regulatory application, a strange purchase from the current reputation of the company, but perhaps without considering its investment history.
The conglomerate, based on Omaha, bought more than $ 5 million at a medical firm per share worth about $ 1.6 billion in late June. According to Veritydata, the share refers to the 18th largest in the Berkshire portfolio for Amazon and Constollation brands.
Berkshire’s own capital portfolio costs about $ 300 billion, so it is not excluded that two lieutenants Buffett Todd Combs and Ted Weshler were more responsible for this purchase rather than “Oracle of Omaha”. Buffett said one of his investment executives lagged behind Amazon investment in 2019.
The insurer’s reserves increased by 6% in advanced trade after Berkshire’s disclosure.
The united years to date
The Unitedhealth shares fell by almost 50% for 2025 to Thursday before the Buffet was submitted. The largest private insurer of the medical resources was the face of public shock in this country against the growth of health care costs. Currently, UnitedHealth is facing the Ministry of Justice Investigation on Medicare’s billing practice.
In May, the company pulled out the annual profit forecast, and Andrew Viti CEO left his post. Last month, UnitedHealth gave a new 2025 forecast, which was near Wall Rate estimates, striking the stock further.
Buffett, who was 95 years old this month, was treated with a critical health care system in the US, calling it a “tapeworm” on the economy from the high expenses. In 2018, he, together with Jeff Bezos and Jamie Dimon, launched a joint venture to improve health care for his employees and possibly for all Americans, but eventually was closed.
Other noticeable steps
Unitedhealth is not the only stock that Berkshire has taken away recently. In fact, the conglomerate also took small rates in the steel manufacturer NicurAdvertising Company outdoors Advertisement lamera and a protective firm Lot. Berkshire also returned to house builders Lenar and Dr. Horton.
Nucor shares jumped by almost 8% in the auction after Lenar and Dr. Hortan jumped up about 3%.
Buffett also took his position in Bank of America and Apple. The aklets package of apples was cut by about 7%. Berkshire’s largest positions from the end of the second quarter were Apple American ExpressBank of America, Coca-Cola And hevron.
The legendary investor leaves the post of CEO Berkshire at the end of the year, handing reins. Buffett will remain chairman of the council. It is still unclear who will be responsible for the gigantic portfolio of Berkshire, though Buffet hinted that Abel would make all the decisions about the distribution of capital in the conglomerate.
In the past quarter, UnitedHealth has attracted other buyers, including David Taper Michael Berri and Appaloosa Management. The actions of the insurer are traded in price and revenue ratio of just under 12 years, closest to it in ten years.
There were assumptions about Buffett’s mysterious action when Berkshire asked for permission to preserve certain possessions in the past quarter. It turns out that secret promotions were a combination of multiple positions, and probably the rates added to Dr. Horton, Nucor and Lennar “A” shares.
