Buffett sells Bank of America stocks again
After a series of massive sell offs of Bank of America stocks, Berkshire Hathaway, owned by Warren Buffett, may no longer need to quickly disclose news of its rapid sell offs of Bank of America stocks.
Data disclosed on August 30th showed that Berkshire Hathaway, owned by Warren Buffett, has reduced its stake in Bank of America's outstanding shares to 11.4%. According to relevant regulations, if the shareholding ratio exceeds 10%, the transaction needs to be disclosed within a few days; If the shareholding ratio does not exceed 10%, there is no need to disclose the transaction situation as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, according to disclosure documents from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Berkshire Hathaway sold approximately 21 million shares of Bank of America stock between August 28th and 30th, cashing out $848 million.
Just recently, from August 23rd to 27th, the company sold approximately $981.9 million worth of Bank of America stock. From the 15th to the 19th of this month, Berkshire Hathaway also sold approximately $550 million worth of Bank of America stock.
Buffett, who is 94 years old, began investing in Bank of America in 2011 when he spent $5 billion to purchase the bank's preferred stock and warrants. Berkshire Hathaway eventually became the largest shareholder of the bank and has maintained this position, with a holding value of approximately $36 billion based on last Friday's closing price.
Goldman Sachs reportedly plans to lay off over 1300 employees
According to sources reported by The Wall Street Journal, Goldman Sachs plans to lay off hundreds of employees in the coming weeks as part of its annual plan to eliminate low performing employees.
Goldman Sachs plans to lay off over 1300 employees worldwide as part of its annual review process to eliminate underperforming staff. The number of layoffs accounts for 3% -4% of the total number of employees. Given that Goldman Sachs had a total of approximately 45300 employees as of the end of last year, this will affect around 1300-1800 people.
Sources say that layoffs have already begun and will continue throughout the autumn. Goldman Sachs uses some variables to measure performance in its annual layoffs, and an increasingly important factor is office attendance. During the pandemic and its aftermath, Goldman Sachs and its peers relaxed their requirements for employees to work outside the company, but banks have begun to crack down severely on employees who do not frequently appear in the company.
Reuters reported that a Goldman Sachs spokesperson stated in a statement to Reuters that the numbers reported by The Wall Street Journal were not accurate. A source familiar with Goldman Sachs revealed to Reuters that the company plans to cut hundreds of jobs as part of its annual review process for underperforming employees.
In a statement to Reuters, a Goldman Sachs spokesperson said, "Our annual talent assessment is normal, standard, and customary, but there is nothing particularly special about it. We expect to have more employees working at Goldman Sachs in 2024 than in 2023
