Berkshire Hathaway could be one of the largest corporate taxpayers this year, due to the big gains it has realized from selling two-thirds of its large Apple stake so far this year. In its 10-Q report released Saturday in tandem with its financial results, Berkshire disclosed that it sold another 100 million shares of Apple in the third quarter, reducing its stake by 25% in the period to 300 million shares. CEO Warren Buffett’s company has sold more than 600 million of the iPhone maker’s shares in the first nine months of 2024.
