Berkshire buys $403 million in Lennar shares after weak earnings
The purchase follows a period in which Lennar is down about 20%, while Dell shares have surged roughly 350% in 2026 on AI server demand.
Berkshire Hathaway is buying $403 million worth of Lennar shares, following a stretch in which Lennar, a major US homebuilder, has fallen about 20% amid weak demand conditions tied to low housing affordability, according to MarketBeat Ratings.
The same coverage also highlights a contrasting setup in another large-cap name, Dell Technologies, where the stock has gained about 350% in 2026 as AI server demand accelerates.
MarketBeat Ratings attributes Dell’s strength to its position in rack-scale AI server systems built using components including NVIDIA Rubin chips, networking, and storage, which data center operators deploy as the AI buildout continues.
The outlet also points to insider trading activity showing how signals around the two companies have diverged, with Dell facing large insider sales totaling more than $1.07 billion through Silver Lake while Berkshire’s Lennar purchase stands out.
