For decades, Coca-Cola stock (KO) has been a fixture in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio. The firm currently owns roughly 400 million shares in Coca-Cola stock—representing more than 9% ownership. They’ve held a large position in the stock for over 30 years.
News of Warren Buffett stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway sent shockwaves across the market. Many began speculating how the firm would handle their positions moving forward—including their holdings in Coca-Cola stock. When news broke that they planned to sell their 28% stake in Kraft Heinz (KHC), the move naturally drummed up speculation on what they might do with their Coca-Cola stock holdings.
This development was a talking point between Scott Bauer and Steve Orr on a recent episode of Quasar Markets Live. Scott was live on the CBOE floor, where he discussed Berkshire Hathaway’s plans to sell their holdings in Kraft Heinz, how he believes they could handle their position in Coca-Cola stock, and when he used to sell Coca-Cola puts to Warren Buffett during his time as a floor trader on the CBOE floor.
