Warren Buffett says he sold Apple too soon and would buy more of it, though not in this market
Buffett said Berkshire would add to Apple only at a lower price, noting the stock still is not attractive after a recent pullback.
- On Tuesday, Warren Buffett told CNBC's Becky Quick on "Squawk Box" that he sold Apple stock too soon, though he would buy more if the price becomes attractive.
- Apple remains Berkshire Hathaway's largest holding despite trimming its stake to $61.96 billion last year, as the stock fell more than 14% off its recent high and dropped more than 6% this month.
- Buffett praised Tim Cook as a "fantastic manager" who managed the hand Steve Jobs dealt him exceptionally well, noting Cook "gets along with everybody in the world."
- Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite are in correction, adding market turmoil, while Buffett stepped down as Berkshire's CEO at the beginning of 2026 after six decades, remaining chairman.
- "It's not impossible that Apple would get to a price, we would buy a lot of it," Buffett added, while separately announcing he is bringing back his famed charity lunch.
