Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is falling out of love with Walmart Stores (WMT, $68.87). It sold the majority of its holdings in the world’s largest retailer last year. In the final three months of 2016 alone, according to Berkshires latest 13-F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Buffett trimmed his Walmart holdings to 1.4 million shares from 13 million at the end of September. With an ownership stake of just 0.05%, Berkshire is no longer a major shareholder in Walmart.
