Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway plans to invest in Snowflake
Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway plans to acquire $250 million worth of Snowflake shares or 3.13 million shares at $80 per share. Berkshire Hathaway agreed to acquire an additional 4.04 million shares from an unnamed stockholder in a secondary transaction. The company’s stake in Snowflake would be valued at about $550 million when the stock goes public.
According to a CNBC report, “The Berkshire Hathaway investment is atypical for the company. Warren Buffett has built a reputation as a value investor who has made high-profile bets on conglomerates. However, he does not make all the investing decisions himself and leans on lieutenants such as Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, especially when it comes to tech stocks.”
