# Buffett's possible motivations for significantly reducing his stake in Apple in the third quarter of 2025

Apple (Apple, AAPL)

Q3 Reduction Amount: $10.6 billion

Background: Since the fourth quarter of 2023, Berkshire has been reducing its holdings in Apple stock almost every quarter (with the exception of Q4 2024 and Q1 2025).

Motivation: Buffett has publicly praised Apple and its CEO Tim Cook multiple times, so the reduction is not due to concerns about the company's fundamentals, but rather because Apple is its largest holding, which naturally becomes the preferred choice for "locking in profits" when the overall market is overvalued. This move aligns with his consistent principle of "reducing stock exposure when the market is overheated."
