Berkshire Bought Activision In Q4 Ahead Of Microsoft Purchase; Added To Chevron, Trimmed Visa, Mastercard And Pharma Stocks In the weeks before Microsoft made the surprise announcement it was acquiring the troubled Activision, the market was rife with speculation that Berkshire itself could make a play - no pun intended - for the foundering video game company whose stock had tumbled so much in the fourth quarter amid poor earnings and sexual harassment scandals, many viewed it as a deep value play suitable even for Warren Buffett. In retrospect, that didn''t pan out, but as we learned today after the quarterly 13F bonanza hit, Berkshire was buying Activision in Q4 when the stock was tumbling, and as of Dec 31, Berkshire owned 14.658 million shares of Activision stock, representing 1.9% of the shares outstanding. Assuming Buffett bought around the average price for the quarter, or $65, Berkshire made around $250 million on that purchase alone which is not a bad payout for a few weeks worth of work (one wonders if the information that Buffett was buying somehow leaked, and prompted Microsoft''s unexpected acquisition of ATVI).
The conglomerate also adds to its Chevron holding, while cutting back on Bristol Myers Squibb and AbbVie.
Warren Buffett''s Berkshire Hathaway Inc said on Monday it added nearly 14.7 million shares of video game maker Activision Blizzard Inc ahead of Microsoft Corp''s $68.7 billion deal to buy the company. The company also added to its position in energy giant Chevron Corp while slicing its position in healthcare names including Bristol-Myers Squibb Co and Abbvie Inc during the quarter that ended in December. The changes were disclosed in a regulatory filing detailing Berkshire''s U.S.-listed holdings at the end of the year.
