Famous Investors Face a Nov. 16 Holdings Deadline While Recent Filings Fill In the Gap
NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Market Updates News Commentary - Investors who follow Warren Buffett, Bill Ackman and Michael Burry by the paperwork they leave behind have a date circled. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission's published schedule, Form 13F holdings reports for the quarter that ended Sept. 30, 2026 are due Monday, Nov. 16. Until those arrive, the latest 13F reports on file from the firms tied to two of them cover June 30, the filing history of the third stops in late 2025, and companies connected to those filings have reported results over the past two weeks. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI), Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH), and Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE: QSR).
What a 13F shows, and what it leaves out
According to the SEC staff's frequently asked questions about Form 13F, each report is due within 45 days after the end of a calendar quarter, and when that deadline falls on a weekend or holiday it moves to the first business day after. The 45th day after Sept. 30 is Saturday, Nov. 14, and the SEC lists Monday, Nov. 16, 2026 as the deadline for the third quarter of 2026.
The same guidance says a 13F lists the issuer, the class of security, the number of shares owned and their fair market value as of the end of the calendar quarter, and that short positions are not included. That means the reports due next week will describe holdings as of Sept. 30, not what any manager owns on the day a report is posted.
Berkshire reports under a new leadership lineup
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) published its third quarter 2026 results on Nov. 7 and filed its 10-Q on Nov. 9. Operating earnings were $12,705 million, compared with $13,485 million a year earlier, and the company said it acquired approximately $9.6 billion in treasury shares during the quarter, bringing the nine-month total to about $14.4 billion. Insurance float was approximately $178.5 billion at Sept. 30.
The 10-Q's certification was signed by Gregory E. Abel as President and Principal Executive Officer, and a Sept. 18 release on Berkshire's website is titled "Warren E. Buffett Becomes Chairman Emeritus, Remains Director; Howard G. Buffett Elected Chairman." The 10-Q shows purchases of equity securities of $41,771 million and sales of $30,572 million in the first nine months of 2026, along with $336.7 billion of short-term investments in U.S. Treasury Bills on the Insurance and Other balance sheet at Sept. 30.
Two Berkshire holdings with fresh numbers
Berkshire's 10-Q names Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) among its five largest holdings at Sept. 30, 2026, and Berkshire's 13F for June 30 lists 227,917,808 Apple shares, the same count as in its March 31 report. Apple's fiscal fourth quarter results, released Nov. 2 for the quarter ended Sept. 26, showed revenue of $114.5 billion, up 12 percent year over year, and diluted earnings per share of $2.10, up 14 percent, including a favorable impact of $0.05 from tariff refunds.
Apple's release cited all-time record revenue of $479 billion for fiscal 2026 and $28 billion returned to shareholders during the quarter. Apple's board of directors also declared a cash dividend of $0.27 per share, payable on Nov. 16, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on Nov. 12, 2026.
The same June 30 report lists 124,807,117 shares of Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI), unchanged from March 31. In its third quarter 2026 results on Oct. 29, the company reported revenue of $2.15 billion, down slightly year over year, which it said primarily reflected lower equipment revenue due to higher memory costs. Net income increased 7% to $317 million and free cash flow increased 14% to $293 million.
SiriusXM raised its full year 2026 guidance for the second consecutive quarter, lifting each of its three key financial metrics by $25 million, to approximately $8.55 billion in revenue, approximately $2.65 billion in adjusted EBITDA and approximately $1.40 billion in free cash flow.

Ackman's filings point to two operating companies
Bill Ackman is CEO of Pershing Square Inc., according to its Nov. 2 third quarter release, which describes Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. as a wholly owned subsidiary. For June 30, 2026, Pershing Square Capital Management filed a 13F notice stating that its holdings are now included in the report of its public parent company, Pershing Square Inc. That report, filed Aug. 14, is the most recent 13F on file for Pershing Square Inc.
It lists two entries in Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) common stock totaling 27,852,064 shares. Howard Hughes' 10-Q describes Pershing Square as a related party because of its ownership interest and its representation on the board, and says that on June 4 it entered into a subscription agreement under which it issued and sold 140,000 shares of Series A preferred stock to an affiliate of Pershing Square for $1.0 billion. In third quarter 2026 results released Nov. 5, Howard Hughes reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.1 million, compared with net income of $119.5 million a year earlier.
The company said Total Operating Assets NOI, including contributions from unconsolidated ventures, increased 8% to $73.0 million, and it announced an intention to transition its real estate model to an asset-light real estate development and asset management platform by monetizing select real estate assets through asset sales and joint ventures.
The same Pershing Square report lists 25,821,284 shares of Restaurant Brands International Inc. (NYSE: QSR), which owns the Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes and Firehouse Subs brands. In its third quarter 2026 results on Oct. 29, the company reported consolidated system-wide sales growth of 6.2%, including 9.0% in International, and global comparable sales of 3.8%, including 8.4% at BK US.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.54, compared with $0.96 a year earlier, and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.10, compared with $1.03. The company said it has returned $1.3 billion of capital to shareholders year to date through dividends and share repurchases and remains on track for 8% organic adjusted operating income growth in 2026.
Where the Burry paper trail ends
Scion Asset Management, LLC, whose most recent 13F was signed by Michael J. Burry as Chief Executive Officer, is a different case. Its EDGAR filing index lists a Form 13F filed Nov. 3, 2025 for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025 as its most recent filing, and no later filing appears on the index as of Nov. 10, 2026. That report reflects positions as of Sept. 30, 2025, so it does not describe holdings at any date in 2026.
