Berkshire Hathaway boosts buybacks and reduces cash stake
Berkshire Hathaway reported higher-than-expected profits, with net income more than doubling to over $25 billion and operating profit rising 16%. The conglomerate began reducing its large cash reserves in the second quarter by repurchasing over $4.5 billion of its stock and investing heavily in stocks like Alphabet.

The company noted ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties and indicated a cautious approach to capital allocation under new CEO Greg Abel.
