Mark your calendars, Buffett enthusiasts - August 14 is approaching!
In the world of finance, speculation and anticipation are often at an all-time high, especially when it comes to Warren Buffett's investment moves. One such mystery has been the identity of an industrial stock that Buffett has been quietly accumulating this year. Ahead of Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A and BRK.B) quarterly 13-F filing on August 14, 2025, the focus is on revealing this long-speculated investment.
According to recent analysis, Caterpillar (CAT) could be the company in question. Evidence suggests that Caterpillar's daily trading volume increased significantly during the period Buffett was reportedly making his purchases, with a 26.2% jump from February to August 2025 compared to the six months prior[1]. This spike in trading volume is consistent with a substantial institutional buying pattern, one that is often associated with Buffett's secret $5 billion investment.
While UPS was also speculated as a potential contender, the trading volume and timing data strongly indicate Caterpillar as the likely candidate for the mystery stock[1].
The upcoming 13-F filing is expected to provide a broader view of Berkshire's evolving investment strategy amid shifting market conditions. Apart from confirming or denying the mystery investment, the filing could offer updates on Berkshire's other core holdings like Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), and Chevron (CVX).
It's important to note that the information and data in this article are for informational purposes only. The consensus rating on BRK.B shares remains at "Moderate Buy" with a mean target of roughly $540, indicating a potential upside of some 15% from current levels[2].

The recent analysis points towards Caterpillar (CAT) as the industrial stock that Warren Buffett has been accumulating in 2025, given the significant increase in its daily trading volume during that period [1]. The upcoming 13-F filing by Berkshire Hathaway could confirm this long-speculated investment and offer updates on other core holdings like Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), and Chevillron (CVX) [2].
The focus on technology in Berkshire's investment strategy is evident with the speculated investment in Caterpillar, a company that leverages advanced technology in its business operations [1]. Despite the potential investment in Caterpillar, Berkshire Hathaway's consensus rating remains at "Moderate Buy" for its BRK.B shares, suggesting a 15% potential upside from current levels [2].
