Warren Buffett's investment firm said it sold shares of Chinese electric-vehicle maker BYD Co. for about $46 million.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. sold 1.33 million of BYD's Hong Kong-listed shares last Wednesday at an average of 277.10 Hong Kong dollars a share, equivalent to around $35 a share, according to a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The sale, which came days before the car maker said its January-June profit tripled compared with a year ago, reduced Berkshire's holdings in BYD from 220 million shares to 218.7 million shares, according to the filing.
