During Berkshire Hathaway’s recent shareholder meeting in Omaha, Warren Buffett reflected on the company's substantial $35 billion investment in Apple, made between 2016 and 2018. He highlighted that this investment has surged to approximately $185 billion before tax, attributing much of this success to Tim Cook's leadership. Buffett noted that at the time of the investment, Cook was not widely recognized among investors, especially compared to his predecessor, Steve Jobs. Under Cook's tenure, Apple’s market value has skyrocketed from about $350 billion to $4.1 trillion. Buffett expressed confidence in Apple, stating that despite Berkshire reducing its stake in recent years, it remains the company's largest holding. He concluded by acknowledging Cook's contributions and suggested he deserves recognition from shareholders as he prepares to step down as CEO.
