Amazon breaks delivery time barrier with 30-minute service

In the United States and Japan on 15 May 2026, Alphabet announced a record 576 billion yen bond issuance in Japan, the biggest yen bond ever sold by a foreign issuer. Nikkei Asia reported that it beat a Berkshire Hathaway offering.

Berkshire Hathaway's first quarter under its new CEO also drew attention. It tripled its Alphabet stake and bought into Delta and Macy's, while selling Amazon, UnitedHealth, Visa and Mastercard shares and about $8 billion of Chevron shares. Ackman's Pershing Square disclosed a new Microsoft stake of about $2 billion and exited Alphabet.
