The stocks are slightly different, but the model is the same. Here's what the new, Abel-directed Berkshire Hathaway equity portfolio looks like.Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an &#34;Indispensable Monopoly&#34; providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »<h2>New consumer favorites</h2>Berkshire Hathaway's latest 13F filing, for the 2025 first quarter, definitely has Abel's new stamp. He exited a stunning 15 positions in the quarter and added two new positions, Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) and Macy's (NYSE: M), in addition to expanding and reducing several others. Delta is a returning stock. Berkshire Hathaway first bought it in 2016, and it sold out of it when COVID-19 started and air travel was highly restricted. Macy's is a first-time position.<img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://g.foolcdn.com/image//query-dXJsPWh0dHBzOi8vZy5mb29sY2RuLmNvbS9lZGl0b3JpYWwvaW1hZ2VzLzg3MDAyNS9tYWN5cy1mbG9yaWRhLmpwZyZ3PTcwMA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="700" height="466" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://g.foolcdn.com/image//query-dXJsPWh0dHBzOi8vZy5mb29sY2RuLmNvbS9lZGl0b3JpYWwvaW1hZ2VzLzg3MDAyNS9tYWN5cy1mbG9yaWRhLmpwZyZ3PTcwMA"/>Image source: Macy's. Both of these stocks look cheap right now, but they aren't trading at a tremendous discount to recent averages. Regarding the Delta purchase, Abel may see a return to travel, as the business world continues to evolve and remote work hasn't taken off as much as expected.Macy's has been demonstrating progress toward its goal of becoming a more efficient company, selling off its real estate and closing some of its stores. It has been reporting positive comparable sales and increasing profitability.<h2>The most notable positions</h2>The most notable change in the portfolio was the addition to the Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) position. Berkshire first took a position in Alphabet last year, and it added around 40 million shares in the first quarter, worth around $11 billion.Alphabet has consistently been one of the cheapest &#34;Magnificent Seven&#34; stocks, trading at 30 times trailing-12-month earnings today. However, it was significantly cheaper during the March pullback, and it's possible Abel and his team bought it then. Alphabet is now the portfolio's fifth-largest position, representing 6.9% of the total.The stocks completely sold off include Amazon, Domino's Pizza, and longtime holdings Visa and Mastercard.Notably, Buffett's favorite positions weren't touched at all. Apple, American Express, and Coca-Cola remain the top three positions. Abel already reassured shareholders in his first letter as CEO that these remain high-conviction stocks. Bank of America was reduced by 1% but remains a top holding.The new portfolio strongly signals that even though Abel is making changes, the essential Buffett approach remains intact at Berkshire Hathaway. The focus is on well-established industry leaders that are good values with strong moats and a strong consumer element, whether in tech, finance, retail, or something else.He also told shareholders in his letter that one key to his model is to &#34;concentrate our capital in a few high conviction ideas,&#34; and that played out in the first-quarter positions.<h2>Should you buy stock in Delta Air Lines right now?</h2> Before you buy stock in Delta Air Lines, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Delta Air Lines wasn’t one of them.
