rings true for the conglomerate’s investment portfolio in the fourth quarter, which included a new stake in media firm New York Times Company (NYSE:NYT).\nIt is unknown when exactly the investment powerhouse, which was still led by Buffett last quarter, made the purchase but the position may have been led by the legendary investor himself.\nOver the years, Buffett has been a fan of media assets including newspapers, and may have recognized the value of the long-running newspaper and media company, which has grown its digital presence and user retention in recent years with games like Wordle.\nNew York Times shares traded between $54.10 (Oct. 14) and $71.23 (Dec. 24) during the fourth quarter, before closing the quarter and year at $69.42. The stock saw steady gains throughout the last three months of 2025.\nBuffett's total purchase cost, based on the low and high prices for the quarter, was anywhere from $274,056,750.40 to $360,832,45.12.\nThis means Berkshire's position in the media stock is now up $16,413,010.56 to $103,189,205.28 depending on the time of the purchase. The stake is up $25,582,007.20, or 7.3%, since the end of the fourth quarter.\nTime will tell if the New York Times stock position ends up being a short-term trade or a long-term one for Berkshire, now led by CEO Greg Abel.\nThe company will share its annual results and shareholder letter on Feb. 28, which could provide more information on the trade and its overall thoughts on the media sector.\nThe New York Times recently reported fourth-quarter financial results with both earnings per share and revenue beating analyst estimates.\nThe company has topped analyst estimates for EPS in more than 15 straight quarters, and revenue projections in four straight quarters and in six of the last 10 quarters overall.\nThe New York Times stake could help boost Berkshire’s own stock going forward. The conglomerate’s stock is up 0.5% year-to-date in 2026, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) is up 0.7%.\nImage: Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"2","news_tag":"shareholding","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2612256674","isCrawlerRequest":true}
