Buffet remains confident in Apple's growth, but potential risks include tax consequences and uncertainties in the global economy. Investors should consider these factors when evaluating Apple's buyback program. Apple's Buyback News May Be Late For Warren Buffet - There's Still Some Risk In recent news, Apple's buyback program has been making headlines, but for legendary investor Warren Buffet, the timing might not be ideal. Buffet, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, revealed at the company's annual meeting that they had reduced their stake in Apple, the tech giant's largest shareholder, by 22% in the first quarter of this year \[1\]. Despite the decline in Berkshire's holdings and Apple's share price, Buffet expressed his confidence in Apple's continued growth and its status as a major investment for Berkshire \[1\]. Buffet's investment strategy is rooted in his belief that common stocks, like Apple, are businesses that contribute to Berkshire's overall portfolio. He highlighted this perspective during the annual meeting, stating that he and his late business partner, Charlie Munger, view their investments in companies like Apple as businesses they cannot fully own \[1\]. Despite Buffet's optimism, there are still potential risks associated with Apple's buyback program. For instance, the tax consequences of selling Apple stock at the current lower capital gains tax rate may prompt Berkshire to consider further reductions in its holdings \[1\]. Moreover, the uncertainty surrounding the global economy and potential alternatives in the market may make holding a larger cash stake more appealing for Berkshire \[1\]. It is essential for investors to consider these factors when evaluating Apple's buyback program and its potential impact on the company's relationship with major investors like Berkshire Hathaway.
