Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, is set to reveal the name of a newly acquired publicly traded industrial company in a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14. The company is believed to have invested approximately $5 billion in the industrial firm, which was previously hidden in quarterly filings. Buffett has a history of shielding the identities of new investments to prevent market manipulation. The upcoming disclosure follows the SEC's requirement to disclose all U.S.-listed equity holdings at mid-year. Analysts note that the filing may also indicate further sales of Bank of America stock, following a nearly 40% reduction in its stake since July 2024. The previous mystery stock, Chubb, was acquired in late 2023 and early 2024 with a $7 billion stake. Currently, only one analyst provides a rating on BRK.B’s class B stock, and the stock has declined by 9.21% over the past 12 weeks.
