Warren Buffett, world’s leading investor, suffers huge loss of Rs 31600000000 in just…, the reason is…

Berkshire Hathaway's profit declined in the second quarter of 2025.

New Delhi: The world’s biggest investor, Warren Buffett’s company Berkshire Hathaway, has suffered a loss of $3.8 billion (about Rs 31,600 crore) on its investment in Kraft Heinz. This is no less than a shock for Berkshire Hathaway, as usually, any company in which Warren Buffett invests remains profitable, but it did not happen this time with Kraft Heinz.

What is the scale of the company’s loss of money?

In fact, in the second quarter of 2025, Berkshire Hathaway’s profit declined, due to which the company’s net profit fell by 59 per cent to $12.37 billion (about Rs 10.79 lakh crore). Whereas last year the company had a profit of $30.25 billion (about Rs 26.38 lakh crore).

Although Buffett has suffered a loss on his stake in Kraft Heinz, he is still in profit because the shares of this packaged food company, formed by the merger of Kraft and Heinz in 2015, have fallen by 62 per cent since then, but it has seen a strong jump of 202 per cent in the S&P 500 index.

What other problems is Kraft Heinz facing?

Now Kraft Heinz is also thinking of separating a part of its business because these days the company is facing many challenges. On one hand, due to rising inflation, the company is facing increasing pressure on consumer spending.

Apart from this, people have now become more conscious about their health and have started adopting healthy options of food and drink. In such a situation, customers have started preferring other products instead of Kraft Heinz. Due to this, the company’s sales declined last month. In this way, Kraft Heinz is continuously in the loss.

What is Berkshire Hathaway’s stake in Kraft Heinz?

Berkshire Hathaway has more than a 27 per cent stake in Kraft Heinz. At the end of the June quarter, Berkshire Hathaway reduced its stake in Kraft Heinz to $8.4 billion. Berkshire Hathaway’s investment in the company has been continuously decreasing over the last two years. Earlier this year, Berkshire representatives resigned from the board of Kraft Heinz.
