Warren BuffettDivestitureFinanceDVAAI read · ▼ A routine cap-driven sale Berkshire trims its DaVita stake again
The move
Berkshire Hathaway sold 382,563 shares of DaVita (DVA) on Oct. 27 at a weighted-average price of $180.43, an SEC Form 4 shows, leaving it with 28,314,666 shares held through GEICO and Berkshire subsidiaries' pension plans.
Why it matters
Berkshire's long-standing agreement with DaVita caps its ownership percentage; when DaVita's own buybacks push Berkshire's stake above that ceiling, Berkshire has to sell shares back down.
The bear case
The sales are mechanical rather than a signal Berkshire has soured on the stock.
What to watch
Whether Berkshire's next Form 4 shows another trim as DaVita keeps buying back shares.
Berkshire trims DaVita stake under buyback-cap deal
The move
A Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary and two of its pension plans sold 382,563 DaVita shares on Oct. 27 at $180.4305 each, worth about $69 million, according to a Form 4 signed by Warren Buffett and filed with the SEC on Oct. 29. The sale left Berkshire's reported indirect stake at 28,314,666 DaVita shares. Buffett, as Berkshire's controlling shareholder, disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in them. Berkshire has sold DaVita shares in similar increments through the year under a long-standing agreement that caps its ownership stake as DaVita buys back its own stock.
Why it matters
It's a reminder that even a stake tied to Buffett can shrink automatically through a contractual mechanism rather than a change of view on the stock.
The bear case
Berkshire's DaVita stake remains large, and these sales are mechanical, required by the buyback-cap agreement rather than a signal Berkshire wants out.
What to watch
DaVita's next buyback disclosure and the resulting size of Berkshire's stake.
Berkshire trims its DaVita stake again
The move
Berkshire Hathaway sold 382,563 shares of DaVita on October 27 for about $69 million, an SEC Form 4 shows, trimming its stake to roughly 28.3 million shares.
Why it matters
The sale keeps Berkshire under a 45% ownership ceiling it has agreed to with DaVita, which must be maintained as DaVita buys back its own stock.
The bear case
Berkshire still owns about 45% of DaVita and has made similar mechanical sales in past quarters, so this isn't a sign of lost conviction in the stock.
What to watch
Berkshire's next quarterly Form 4 on DaVita, tied to the companies' ownership-cap agreement.
