Shares of Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (SIRI) soared 5.01% on November 11th, 2024, as the satellite radio and streaming service provider received a vote of confidence from legendary investor Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Berkshire Hathaway, already a major shareholder in Sirius XM, increased its stake in the company by acquiring an additional $60 million worth of shares. This move brought Berkshire's ownership in Sirius XM to over 33%, further solidifying its position as the company's largest shareholder.
Analysts cite Buffett's long-term investment strategy and his fondness for businesses with strong competitive advantages and stable cash flows as the primary reasons behind his continued interest in Sirius XM. Despite facing challenges in subscriber growth and competition from streaming services like Spotify, Sirius XM's monopoly in satellite radio, high customer retention rates, and potential for free cash flow growth make it an attractive investment for Berkshire Hathaway.
