Economist and professor focused on government's role in innovation and value creation in the economy.

Harris Associates' investment portfolio experienced notable changes in the fourth quarter of 2025, with its 13F holdings reaching an impressive $79.12 billion. The firm's strategic approach is characterized by a core of 42 diverse positions, prominently featuring significant stakes in major companies such as GOOGL, COF, CRM, IQV, and ABNB. These adjustments reflect Harris Associates' commitment to a dynamic investment strategy, aiming to maximize returns through carefully selected and managed assets.

A closer examination of the portfolio reveals substantial increases in several key holdings. During this period, Harris Associates significantly boosted its stakes in companies like CRM, ABNB, ICE, KDP, COP, ELV, EFX, DE, and FISV. Many of these acquisitions were made at prices exceeding their current market values, indicating a strong conviction in the long-term growth potential of these assets. This proactive approach underscores the firm's confidence in its research and valuation methodologies.

Conversely, Harris Associates also strategically reduced its exposure to certain positions, most notably GOOGL. As the largest holding in the portfolio, the reduction in GOOGL shares suggests a deliberate move to realize gains after a period of strong performance. Similar trimming activities were observed in IQV and GM, aligning with the firm's strategy of rebalancing and optimizing its holdings to maintain a robust and responsive portfolio structure.

The firm's long-standing success, evidenced by its multi-decade track record of alpha generation through Oakmark funds and recent expansions into new ETF offerings, highlights its adaptive investment philosophy. These product developments not only broaden Harris Associates' market reach but also reflect its continuous evolution in meeting diverse investor needs while maintaining its core principles of value-oriented investing.

In summary, the fourth quarter of 2025 saw Harris Associates actively refining its investment portfolio, marked by both strategic additions and reductions across various sectors. These changes underscore a disciplined investment strategy focused on long-term value creation, leveraging deep market insights to navigate economic shifts and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
