Berkshire Hathaway, the investment firm controlled by US billionaire Warren Buffett, continued to trim its stake in BYD, selling 2.48 million shares in the Chinese electric-vehicle (EV) maker last month, at least the 10th reduction since August.
The shares were sold for HK$539.8 million (US$68.8 million) on March 31 at an average price of HK$217.67 per share, according to stock exchange data. Following the divestment, Berkshire’s interest in BYD has dropped to 10.9 per cent from 11.13 per cent, and compared with 19.92 per cent when the Omaha, Nebraska-based investment firm began trimming its exposure last year.
