Warren Buffett Just Invested $87 Million in an Unlikely Stock

Warren Buffett is one of the world's most renowned investors, and he just made a surprising major portfolio move that's worth taking a look at. He made a major investment in one company while selling a substantial number of shares in another.

Warren Buffett is Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and is estimated to be the 10th richest person in the world. His investment strategy is based on value investing, a paradigm fueled by purchasing underpriced securities. 

That usually means he believes the stock is worth more than the current market pricing when he makes a big move. 

His latest significant investment is a surprise move, but it could mean he believes the company is undervalued. Learn which company just received his $87 million investment.  

Last week, the world learned through an SEC filing that Buffett had purchased 36 million shares of Sirius XM (NASDAQ: SIRI) between Oct. 9-11. Total purchase price for all those shares was around $87 million.

Sirius is a satellite radio radio company. They recently announced several large content exclusives including an agreement to bring Alex Cooper's popular "Call Her Daddy" podcast to the Sirius platform in 2025. Cooper's show is currently available on Spotify.

This latest filing puts Buffett's stake in the company at at 108.7 million shares. He has steadily increased his investment in the satellite radio company since 2016.

On the other hand, Buffett has been ditching shares of Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) lately. He sold 9.5 million shares over three days earlier this month and he's been steadily selling the stock since July. In total, Berkshire Hathaway has sold off $10.5 billion worth of BAC shares.

We don't know exactly why Buffett is selling the stock, but it could have to do with falling interest rates. Banks earn less on their holdings when interest rates fall.
