Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has added stakes in Dollar General [DG 32.19 
0.53 (+1.67%) 
] and Verisk Analytics [VRSK 32.21 
-0.01 (-0.03%) ] as of June 30, compared to its reported holdings on March 31.
The relatively small size of those stakes, Dollar General at $48 million and Verisk at $68 million, however, indicates that Buffett himself did not pull the ‘buy’ trigger.
He has said that his stock moves are usually in the billions of dollars, not millions.
Other changes listed in Berkshire’s just-released 13-F filing with the SEC:
- Berkshire’s MasterCard [MA 335.00 6.93 (+2.11%) ] stake increased between March 31 and June 30 by 189,000 shares to 405,000 shares. That’s an increase of 88 percent. The increased stake is worth $136 million at today’s close, also an indication that it wasn’t a Buffett decision. (New portfolio manager Todd Combs is my best guess.)
- Berkshire’s massive Wells Fargo [WFC 25.02 0.89 (+3.69%) ] stake edged 3 percent higher with the addition of 9.7 million shares. Its 352.3 million share stake is valued at $8.8 billion at today’s close.
- Tonight’s 13-F also reveals a 5 percent decrease in Berkshire’s holdings of Kraft Foods [KFT 34.68 0.28 (+0.81%) ], bringing that stake down by 5.7 million shares to 99.5 million. It’s worth $3.4 billion tonight.
