Abel puts Berkshire Hathaway's cash to work with $10B Alphabet investment

Berkshire Hathaway’s new CEO Greg Abel reportedly put almost $20B back into the stock market last quarter, reversing Warren Buffett-era stock selling and the build-up of Berkshire’s cash pile. The shift suggests renewed capital deployment rather than continued cash accumulation. Overall, the news is mildly positive for sentiment around Berkshire’s allocation strategy.
