Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc has trimmed its stake in BYD Co , seven weeks after prompting speculation it might sell its entire multi-billion dollar stake in the largest Chinese electric car company.
 
In a Hong Kong Stock Exchange filing, Berkshire said it sold 1.33 million Hong Kong-listed shares of BYD for about HK$370 million (US$47 million), reducing its stake in BYD's total issued H shares to 19.92% from 20.49%.
