or "Hvorfor Alphabet nå er nummer tre". Let's use "Hvorfor Alphabet nå er nummer tre".
Then: "Berkshire owns nearly 106 million Alphabet shares, worth about $36.6 billion at the end of June. That puts the tech giant ahead of Coca-Cola's $35.1 billion position but still behind Apple ($69.7 billion) and American Express ($51.9 billion)."
Norwegian: "Berkshire eier nesten 106 million aksjer i Alphabet, verdt omtrent 36,6 milliarder dollar ved utgangen av juni. Det plasserer teknologigiganten foran Coca-Colas posisjon på 35,1 milliarder dollar, men fortsatt bak Apple (69,7 milliarder dollar) og American Express (51,9 milliarder dollar)."
Note: Use comma as decimal separator? In Norwegian, we use comma for decimals, but in financial context, they often use period? Actually Norwegian uses comma for decimals. But the original uses period. Since it's a translation, we should use comma for decimals: "36,6 milliarder dollar" but we need to be consistent. However, for large numbers, they use period as thousands separator? In Norwegian, they use space or comma? Typically, Norwegian uses comma as decimal and space as thousands separator. But in financial news, they often use dot for thousands? Actually, they use space or dot? I think in Norwegian, they use comma as decimal and space as thousands. But to avoid confusion, we'll keep the numbers as in original but with comma for decimals? The original says "$36.6 billion" - we can write "36,6 milliarder dollar". But also "$35.1 billion" -> "35,1 milliarder dollar". We'll do that. For millions, "106 million" -> "106 million" (no change). For "69.7" -> "69,7 milliarder dollar" etc.
But we need to be consistent. I'll use comma for decimals.
Also "Coca-Cola" is same.
Next paragraph: "Roughly 60% of the new shares came from a private placement — the $10 billion deal announced in June — and the rest was bought on the open market. The purchase is the clearest sign yet that Berkshire's new CEO, Greg Abel, is willing to swing big on a single name."
Norwegian: "Omtrent 60 % av de nye aksjene kom fra en privat plassering – avtalen på 10 milliarder dollar som ble kunngjort i juni – og resten ble kjøpt på det åpne markedet. Kjøpet er det tydeligste tegnet så langt på at Berkshire's nye konsernsjef, Greg Abel, er villig til å satse stort på en enkelt navn."
We need to use "Berkshire" as is. "konsernsjef" for CEO. "satser stort" or "svinge stort"? "swing big" means "slå til stort" or "satse stort". Use "satse stort".
Also "private placement" - "privat plassering" is fine.
Next heading:
Airlines and homebuilders get a second look
->
Fly og boligbygge får en ny vurdering
or "Fly- og boligbyggere får en ny sjanse". Let's use "Fly og boligbygge får en ny vurdering".
Paragraph: "Berkshire increased its Delta Air Lines stake by 44%, worth about $1.6 billion. That's a sharp reversal from 2020, when the company exited all four of its airline stocks. It also lifted Macy's by 142% (roughly $100 million) and added $280 million to homebuilder Lennar."
Norwegian: "Berkshire økte sin eierandel i Delta Air Lines med 44 %, verdt omtrent 1,6 milliarder dollar. Dette er en skarp reversering fra 2020, da selskapet forlot alle fire flyaksjene sine. Det økte også Macy's med 142 % (omtrent 100 milliarder dollar) og la til 280 milliarder dollar til boligbygge Lennar."
Wait: $280 million, not billion. So "280 milliarder" is wrong. We need "280 million dollar" -> "280 milliarder" is billion. So careful: $1.6 billion = 1,6 milliarder dollar. $100 million = 100 milliarder? No, 100 million = 100 milliarder? Actually in Norwegian, "million" is "million", "billion" is "milliard". So $1.6 billion = 1,6 milliarder. $100 million = 100 milliarder? No, 100 million = 100 milliarder? Actually 1 million = 1 million, 1 billion = 1 milliard. So $100 million = 100 milliarder? No, that would be 100 million = 100 milliarder? Wait: 1 milliard = 1 billion (10^9). So 100 million = 0,1 milliard. So we need to be careful. In Norwegian, "million" is "million" (10^6), "milliard" is "billion" (10^9). So $100 million = 100 million dollar. So we write "100 million dollar". $280 million = 280 million dollar. So we need to use "million" for those. So "omtrent 100 million dollar" and "280 million dollar".
But the original says "$1.6 billion" - that's 1,6 milliarder dollar. So we'll write "1,6 milliarder dollar". For $100 million, "100 million dollar". For $280 million, "280 million dollar".
Also "Delta Air Lines" is same. "homebuilder" - "boligbygger" or "husbygger". Use "boligbygger".
Also "Macy's" - keep as is.
Next: "The same quarter brought a $6.8 billion agreement to acquire Taylor Morrison, a homebuilder. Together, these moves suggest Abel is comfortable placing bets on consumer spending and housing, areas Buffett had grown cautious on."
Norwegian: "Samme kvartal før
