Summary
$35.888 billion — Berkshire Hathaway’s 400 million-share Coca-Cola stake rose by $5.08 billion from the end of Q1 and is up more than $7.9 billion since end-2025.
Coca-Cola’s strong quarter drove the gain, with sparkling soft drink volume up 4% and water, sports, coffee and tea volume up 6% year over year.
The company said Coca-Cola and Powerade benefited from the 2026 World Cup, helping trademark Coca-Cola post its best quarterly volume growth in 17 years and prompting higher full-year revenue and EPS guidance.
Greg Abel, who succeeded Warren Buffett as Berkshire CEO at the end of 2025, has so far kept the stake unchanged and previously grouped Coca-Cola among holdings Berkshire expects to compound over decades.
The paper gain could support Berkshire shares, which are up 2.9% in 2026, near a 52-week high but still trailing the S&P 500’s 7.9% advance.
