Berkshire Hathaway added stakes in Delta and Macy's during Greg Abel's first quarter as CEO of the conglomerate, while eliminating holdings in Amazon and other major companies.

Berkshire Hathaway more than tripled the size of its investment in Google's parent company and bought over $2.6 billion worth of Delta Airlines stock as Greg Abel settled into the CEO job after taking over from Warren Buffett at the start of the year. The conglomerate also dumped a number of other stocks, including Visa, Mastercard, Domino's Pizza, Amazon and United Healthcare after the departure late last year of Todd Combs, who was one of the two investment mangers Buffett hired to help manage the portfolio. Buffett was always reluctant to invest in tech companies because he said he didn't understand them well enough to predict the long-term winners.

Berkshire Hathaway boosted its stake in Alphabet to nearly 58 million shares on March 31 from almost 18 million shares at year-end.

The Professor Who Tracks Every US IPO Just Issued a Warning on SpaceX: “Most of the Time, Things Don’t Go According to Plan.”
