Warren Buffett Skips Big Banks Like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo, Bets $459 Million On This One Asset

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has shifted his investment strategy, investing $459 million in Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI) after selling his stakes in Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC).

What Happened: Buffett’s investment firm, Berkshire Hathaway, acquired approximately 20 million shares of Sirius XM between Q3 2024 and Q1 2025.

This investment, calculated based on an average share price of $22.95, boosts Berkshire’s total holdings in Sirius to nearly 120 million shares, valued at approximately $2.9 billion.

According to Hathaway's latest Form 13F filings, the purchase represents an effort to capitalize on a dip in Sirius XM’s stock, which has plummeted about 45% from its 52-week high of $41.60 to $24.29.

Despite recent financial challenges, including a 4% revenue drop in Q1 2025 and ongoing subscriber losses in Q2, Sirius XM’s strong brand and recurring revenue model likely offer long-term value to Buffett.

This strategic move follows Buffett’s consistent offloading of shares from Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, thereby freeing up a significant cash reserve for new investments.

Why It Matters: The shift in Buffett’s investment strategy underscores his confidence in Sirius XM’s long-term potential, despite its recent financial setbacks.

The investment in Sirius XM, a company known for its strong brand and recurring revenue model, aligns with Buffett’s investment philosophy of buying stocks with solid fundamentals at a discount.

Moreover, the offloading of shares from Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, suggests a potential shift in Buffett’s view on the banking sector.

This move could signal a broader trend among investors, who may also be reassessing their positions in these banks.
