Berkshire Hathaway Inc said it bought more than $4.1 billion of stock in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co , a rare significant foray into the technology sector by billionaire Warren Buffett's conglomerate.
"I suspect Berkshire has a belief that the world cannot do without the products manufactured by Taiwan Semi," said Tom Russo, a partner at Gardner, Russo & Quinn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which owns Berkshire shares.
"Only a small number of companies that can amass the capital to deliver semiconductors, which are increasingly central to people's lives," he added.Its more than six-year wager during the last decade in IBM Corp did not pan out, but Berkshire is sitting on huge unrealized gains on its $126.5 billion stake in Apple, which Buffett views more as a consumer products company.
