Berkshire Hathaway

Berkshire Hathaway has increased its position in a homebuilder whose stock has been falling, after nearly doubling the stake earlier. The move by Warren Buffett's conglomerate draws attention because investors often read Berkshire's purchases as a signal of conviction in a beaten-down sector, even as homebuilders face pressure from elevated mortgage rates and softer housing demand.
