href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft </a>: The blue chip has better operating margins than any of the FAANG stocks.</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia </a>: Shares of the chipmaker are poised for a comeback.</li></ul><p>When bear markets come around, panic tends to ensue. As the move lower accelerates, stress levels rise as investors worry about the economy, their jobs and their money. But bear markets are precisely the time when investors should be looking for stocks to buy.</p><p>Truth be told, bear markets aren’t all that common. The long-term performance of the <b>S&P 500</b> tends to heavily favor the upside. So even though bear markets are scary, they have historically always been an opportunity.</p><p>There are a couple of caveats with that, though. The first is that the statement bear markets “have historically always been an opportunity” applies to the broader indices, not necessarily individual stocks. Plenty of stocks never go on to recover to their prior highs. The second caveat is that we don’t know when the market will bottom or how far it will fall before it does.</p><p>Yet, as investors wait for a bottom, there are a few obvious stocks to buy.</p><table border=\"1\"><tbody><tr><td><b>PANW</b></td><td>Palo Alto Networks</td><td>$162.04</td></tr><tr><td><b>MSFT</b></td><td>Microsoft</td><td>$242.09</td></tr><tr><td><b>NVDA</b></td><td>Nvidia</td><td>$124.50</td></tr></tbody></table><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PANW\">Palo Alto Networks </a></h2><p>Inflation, currency headwinds and fears of a recession have led to weakening demand across most industries as businesses and consumers rein in spending. However, that’s not been the case with cybersecurity.</p><p>In August, cybersecurity firm <b>Palo Alto Networks</b> reported better-than-expected revenue and earnings for its fiscal fourth quarter. Revenue jumped 27% year over year to $1.55 billion, while billings were up 44% to $2.7 billion. Management also delivered upbeat guidance. For its fiscal 2023 year, which is just getting started, they forecasted 25% revenue growth and that the company would be profitable on a GAAP basis.</p><p>Despite increasing macroeconomic uncertainty, management said customers are making longer-term commitments to Palo Alto Networks. They also noted how many companies are carrying on with their long-term investments despite short-term volatility.</p><p>PANW stock has fallen 13% year to date to trade around $162. As I wrote recently, shares are a bargain if they get down to the $130 level and would be an outright steal below $110.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft </a></h2><p>I recently included <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft </a> on a list of blue-chip stocks to buy. In that article, I noted that the company is expected to deliver double-digit percentage earnings and revenue growth annually from now through FY26 and that its operating margins were better than all of the FAANG names.</p><p>In the current bear market, Microsoft has suffered a peak-to-trough decline of 37%, hitting a low of $219.13 on Oct. 13. Shares have bounced back to around $242 currently.</p><p>To put it bluntly, I’m a buyer all day long when a company with a balance sheet as strong as Microsoft’s sees its share price take a nearly 40% haircut. I consider $210 to $215 an attractive “panic price” entry for long-term investors. However, anytime shares dip below $225, you should consider getting long.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia </a></h2><p>Of today’s three stocks to buy before the bear market ends, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a> is the riskiest of the bunch. Shares of the semiconductor company are down more than 57% year to date and suffered a peak-to-trough drop of 69%. For a company like Nvidia, that’s a monumental decline.</p><p>Nvidia dominates the high-end chip market. Betting on Nvidia is a bet on technology itself. Its end markets include data centers, the cloud, artificial intelligence, gaming, automotive and autonomous driving, robots, drones, supercomputing, graphics and much more.

As the move lower accelerates, stress levels rise as investors worry about the economy, their jobs and their money. But bear markets are precisely the time when investors should be looking for stocks to buy.Truth be told, bear markets aren’t all that common. The long-term performance of the S&P 500 tends to heavily favor the upside. So even though bear markets are scary, they have historically always been an opportunity.There are a couple of caveats with that, though. The first is that the statement bear markets “have historically always been an opportunity” applies to the broader indices, not necessarily individual stocks. Plenty of stocks never go on to recover to their prior highs. The second caveat is that we don’t know when the market will bottom or how far it will fall before it does.Yet, as investors wait for a bottom, there are a few obvious stocks to buy.PANWPalo Alto Networks$162.04MSFTMicrosoft$242.09NVDANvidia$124.50Palo Alto Networks Inflation, currency headwinds and fears of a recession have led to weakening demand across most industries as businesses and consumers rein in spending. However, that’s not been the case with cybersecurity.In August, cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks reported better-than-expected revenue and earnings for its fiscal fourth quarter. Revenue jumped 27% year over year to $1.55 billion, while billings were up 44% to $2.7 billion. Management also delivered upbeat guidance. For its fiscal 2023 year, which is just getting started, they forecasted 25% revenue growth and that the company would be profitable on a GAAP basis.Despite increasing macroeconomic uncertainty, management said customers are making longer-term commitments to Palo Alto Networks. They also noted how many companies are carrying on with their long-term investments despite short-term volatility.PANW stock has fallen 13% year to date to trade around $162. As I wrote recently, shares are a bargain if they get down to the $130 level and would be an outright steal below $110.Microsoft I recently included Microsoft on a list of blue-chip stocks to buy. In that article, I noted that the company is expected to deliver double-digit percentage earnings and revenue growth annually from now through FY26 and that its operating margins were better than all of the FAANG names.In the current bear market, Microsoft has suffered a peak-to-trough decline of 37%, hitting a low of $219.13 on Oct. 13. Shares have bounced back to around $242 currently.To put it bluntly, I’m a buyer all day long when a company with a balance sheet as strong as Microsoft’s sees its share price take a nearly 40% haircut. I consider $210 to $215 an attractive “panic price” entry for long-term investors. However, anytime shares dip below $225, you should consider getting long.Nvidia Of today’s three stocks to buy before the bear market ends, Nvidia is the riskiest of the bunch. Shares of the semiconductor company are down more than 57% year to date and suffered a peak-to-trough drop of 69%. For a company like Nvidia, that’s a monumental decline.Nvidia dominates the high-end chip market. Betting on Nvidia is a bet on technology itself. Its end markets include data centers, the cloud, artificial intelligence, gaming, automotive and autonomous driving, robots, drones, supercomputing, graphics and much more. For that reason, I know the recovery in Nvidia stock is a question of “when” rather than “if.”The company’s most recent earnings report was not very encouraging, as guidance missed expectations by a wide margin. While growth is being pressured this year, a Piper Sandler analyst said Nvidia’s business is close to bottoming and shares are ready for a comeback. I have to agree.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":618,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9983977044,"gmtCreate":1666144062291,"gmtModify":1676537712928,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9983977044","repostId":"1129905097","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129905097","pubTimestamp":1666151424,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1129905097?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-19 11:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Earnings Outlooks Are Key to Determining If Stocks Hit Bottom","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129905097","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Morgan Stanley says 3Q results to drive near-term equity movesResilient profits may push earnings de","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Morgan Stanley says 3Q results to drive near-term equity moves</li><li>Resilient profits may push earnings debate to January: Weaver</li></ul><p>The rebound in US equities this week is stoking an argument that’s raged all year on Wall Street: When will this bear market end?</p><p>The answer may lie in the current earnings season, which kicked off last week, specifically Corporate America’s outlook for future profits, according to Morgan Stanley.

Because shares of Microsoft have revalued 29% lower so far in 2022, the firm's free cash flow has become too cheap. While there are challenges to Microsoft's growth prospects, especially in the PC market which is showing signs of growing weakness, Microsoft is one of the most profitable businesses in the world regarding free cash flow. For that reason, I believe that Microsoft will be able to withstand growing market volatility and, sooner or later, revalue to the upside!</p><p><b>PC market weakness remains a risk in the short term</b></p><p>From Intel (INTC) to Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft, technology companies with exposure to the PC market have not done well in 2022. Intel, Nvidia and Microsoft have all bled market value this year as PC shipments weakened after the pandemic and inventory buildups threaten to make the supply situation even worse.

As of right now, Microsoft has a market cap of approximately $1.78T which means the assumptions laid out here result in a price-to-free-cash-flow ratio of 22 X. This multiple may be high for the average company that has no moat and no significant market share… but Microsoft has both and the company is one of the free cash flow-strongest companies in the world.

Because shares of Microsoft have revalued 29% lower so far in 2022, the firm's free cash flow has become too cheap. While there are challenges to Microsoft's growth prospects, especially in the PC market which is showing signs of growing weakness, Microsoft is one of the most profitable businesses in the world regarding free cash flow. For that reason, I believe that Microsoft will be able to withstand growing market volatility and, sooner or later, revalue to the upside!PC market weakness remains a risk in the short termFrom Intel (INTC) to Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft, technology companies with exposure to the PC market have not done well in 2022. Intel, Nvidia and Microsoft have all bled market value this year as PC shipments weakened after the pandemic and inventory buildups threaten to make the supply situation even worse. Microsoft obviously would be hurt by an accelerating down-turn in the PC market, but I believe two factors speak for Microsoft despite the potential for growing revenue headwinds.YChartsMicrosoft's free cash flow has become too cheapThe first factor is that Microsoft's valuation has become compellingly cheap in September as the software company's shares fell to a new 1-year low.Microsoft generated a massive $17.8B in free cash flow in FQ4'22 which translated to a free cash flow margin of 34.2%. In the last twelve months Microsoft generated a total of $65.1B in free cash flow… which translates to an average free cash flow of $16.3B a quarter or $5.4B each month!Assuming that Microsoft can sustain its current free cash flow margin of ~33%, and working with estimated revenues of $251.5B in FY 2024, then the software company could be earning up to $83.0B in free cash flow in the next fiscal year. As of right now, Microsoft has a market cap of approximately $1.78T which means the assumptions laid out here result in a price-to-free-cash-flow ratio of 22 X. This multiple may be high for the average company that has no moat and no significant market share… but Microsoft has both and the company is one of the free cash flow-strongest companies in the world. Microsoft is also expected to see healthy top line growth this year and next year: the revenue assumption implies 11% year over growth in FY 2023 and 14% in FY 2024.Seeking Alpha: Microsoft Revenue EstimatesStock buybacksThe second factor that could make a big difference for Microsoft relates to stock buybacks. In the fourth-quarter, Microsoft spent $12.4B on repurchases and dividends. Additionally, Microsoft just raised its dividend by 9.7% to $0.68 per-share, bringing the dividend yield to 1.1%.Few investors will consider a 1% dividend yield as a key reason to buy Microsoft, but the volume of stock buybacks could be a deciding factor. Microsoft is repurchasing shares aggressively: in FQ4'22, Microsoft repurchased between 9 and 10M shares each month which cost Microsoft a total of $7.8B… which calculates to 44% of Microsoft's free cash flow in FQ4'22.Microsoft: FQ4'22 Stock BuybackMicrosoft has repurchased shares regularly, but Microsoft's weak stock performance could result in the announcement of a major stock buyback. The firm's share count has decreased about 11% in the last ten years. Since Microsoft is no stranger to stock buybacks, a new major repurchase initiative could make a real difference for Microsoft's beaten-down shares.YChartsValuationMicrosoft is not only cheap based off of free cash flow, but also based off of earnings. The software company is expected to generated EPS of $11.98 in FY 2024, implying 18% year over year growth. Based off of FY 2024 estimates, Microsoft trades at a P-E ratio of 20X… which is at the very bottom of Microsoft's 1-year P-E ratio range and well below the average P-E ratio of 27.7X. Since Microsoft's shares are trading at such a low valuation factor, a major stock buyback would make sense for the company.YChartsRisks with MicrosoftAlthough Microsoft has said that it sees double-digit revenue and operating income growth for the current fiscal year, the slowdown in the PC market represents a fundamental challenge to Microsoft's outlook in FY 2023. I have recently voiced my concern that the PC market may be primed for a continual slowdown in the third-quarter, largely because of soft demand for consumer electronics as well as higher inventory levels for PC and laptop manufacturers.

The losses have been driven by supply chain inefficiencies, inflation, and subsequent interest hikes to combat inflation. However, Wood believes that inflation will soon cool down and be replaced with deflation. Falling commodity prices, freight charges and stable gold prices have aided in her belief.</p><p>At first glance, it appears that investors would much rather welcome deflation over inflation. However, if consumers and companies believe that prices will fall, it can lead to less demand for products and services, such as borrowing capital. This can ultimately lead to more pain for the economy and cause companies to reduce production, which can lead to layoffs.</p><p>With that in mind, let’s take a look at the top five stocks that Cathie Wood is buying right now.</p><h2>5 Stocks Cathie Wood Is Buying Right Now</h2><p><b>1. Roblox (RBLX)</b></p><p>Last week, <b>Roblox</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBLX</u></b>) announced that it would launch next year. The metaverse company boasts a network 52 million users, signaling many use cases for monetization. Roblox has already tested out portal ads with companies like <b>Warner Bros. Discovery</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>WBD</u></b>) and has plans for further testing by the end of the year. Portal ads bring an interacting user directly to Roblox’s platform. Still, a set ad format has not been decided on and will be influenced by the results of testing. On the other hand, shares of RBLX have declined by over 40% since its initial public offering.</p><p>That hasn’t stopped Wood from dollar-cost averaging into her position. On Sept. 16, ARKK picked up107,199 shares, bringing its total share count to 5.78 million shares.</p><p><b>2.

The losses have been driven by supply chain inefficiencies, inflation, and subsequent interest hikes to combat inflation. However, Wood believes that inflation will soon cool down and be replaced with deflation. Falling commodity prices, freight charges and stable gold prices have aided in her belief.At first glance, it appears that investors would much rather welcome deflation over inflation. However, if consumers and companies believe that prices will fall, it can lead to less demand for products and services, such as borrowing capital. This can ultimately lead to more pain for the economy and cause companies to reduce production, which can lead to layoffs.With that in mind, let’s take a look at the top five stocks that Cathie Wood is buying right now.5 Stocks Cathie Wood Is Buying Right Now1. Roblox (RBLX)Last week, Roblox(NYSE:RBLX) announced that it would launch next year. The metaverse company boasts a network 52 million users, signaling many use cases for monetization. Roblox has already tested out portal ads with companies like Warner Bros. Discovery(NASDAQ:WBD) and has plans for further testing by the end of the year. Portal ads bring an interacting user directly to Roblox’s platform. Still, a set ad format has not been decided on and will be influenced by the results of testing. On the other hand, shares of RBLX have declined by over 40% since its initial public offering.That hasn’t stopped Wood from dollar-cost averaging into her position. On Sept. 16, ARKK picked up107,199 shares, bringing its total share count to 5.78 million shares.2.

An Intellia spokesperson stated that the company can not explain every price fluctuation and added that the data was ultimately a good sign for NTLA.Wood seems to agree.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha has generated a jaw-dropping total return of 3,641,613% for his Class A shareholders (BRK.A) since taking the reins of Berkshire Hathaway more than 57 years ago.</p><p>Considering Buffett's penchant for buying high-quality stocks and hanging onto them for the long run, riding the Oracle of Omaha's coattails has proven quite profitable for decades. It's an especially smart time for investors to go shopping for Buffett stocks, with the <b>S&P 500</b> and <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> plunging into a bear market.</p><p>What follows are five Warren Buffett stocks investors can confidently buy right now and never have to sell.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9dff3932ab34c4852ce5e15e7b312f41\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p><h2>Amazon</h2><p>The first Buffett stock that can be bought without investors losing any sleep is e-commerce leader <b>Amazon</b>. Although Amazon's leading online marketplace is susceptible to weakness during recessions, this top revenue segment isn't the key to the company potentially tripling its operating cash flow over the next four years.</p><p>Even though Amazon is estimated to bring in nearly 40% of all U.S. online retail sales in 2022, it's the company's higher-margin ancillary operating segments that are driving its profitability and cash flow. For example, the popularity of Amazon's marketplace has helped the company sign up more than 200 million Prime members worldwide. Amazon is bringing in approximately $35 billion in annual run-rate sales from subscription services, which is allowing it to reinvest in its vast logistics network and other high-growth initiatives.</p><p>The other heavy-hitter is cloud infrastructure services segment Amazon Web Services (AWS). According to a recent report from Canalys, AWS brought in an estimated 31% of cloud-service spending during the second quarter. Even though AWS only accounts for a sixth of Amazon's net sales, it's been consistently producing more than half of the company's operating income. With cloud growth still in its early innings and AWS growing into a larger percentage of Amazon's total sales, the company looks cheaper than ever, relative to its future cash flow-generating potential.</p><h2>Visa</h2><p>The second Warren Buffett stock investors can buy and never have to consider selling is payment processor <b>Visa</b>. Despite being cyclical, Visa's sustainable competitive advantages make it a no-brainer stock to hold for the long term.</p><p>To begin with, Visa accounted for a whopping 54% of U.S. credit card network purchase volume in 2020. The U.S. is the leading market for consumption in the world, and Visa holds a 31-percentage-point lead over its next-closest competitor. To boot, it's the only payment processor that significantly expanded its share of the U.S. processing market following the Great Recession (2007-2009).</p><p>To add to the above, the vast majority of global transactions are still being conducted with cash. This should give Visa ample opportunity to organically expand into underbanked markets, such as the Middle East, Africa, and Southeastern Asia, and to make acquisitions to further its reach.</p><p>It's also worth noting that Visa doesn't act as a lender. By only focusing on payment processing, Visa doesn't have to worry about possible loan delinquencies, and therefore isn't required to set aside capital to cover potential loan losses. This is a big reason why Visa's profit margin is usually at or above 50%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/119223042d623151afc6d0a8e0774989\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>The GMC Hummer EV is one of 30 electric vehicles GM is releasing by the end of 2025. Image source: General Motors.</span></p><h2>General Motors</h2><p>A third Warren Buffett stock to buy and never sell is Detroit auto giant <b>General Motors</b>. Though economic weakness and historically high inflation threaten to sap auto sales in the short run, the long-awaited growth catalyst for General Motors has arrived.</p><p>The electrification of autos for consumers and enterprise fleets is the multidecade opportunity the auto industry has been waiting for. With most developed countries angling to reduce their carbon footprints, electric vehicles (EVs) are viewed as a sustainable growth story.</p><p>General Motors intends to spend $35 billion on EVs, autonomous vehicles, and battery research through the midpoint of the decade. The expectation, according to CEO Mary Barra, is for GM to roll out 30 new EVs by the end of 2025. The company should have two fully devoted battery plants up and running by the end of next year, with over 1 million EVs produced annually in North America in 2025.</p><p>What's more, GM has a sizable presence in China, the world's No. 1 auto market. General Motors has sold 2.9 million vehicles in back-to-back years in China, and should have the opportunity to gobble up market share in China's still-nascent EV industry.</p><h2>Bank of America</h2><p>The fourth Warren Buffett stock that can be bought hand over fist and never sold is financial juggernaut <b>Bank of America</b>. To keep with the prevailing theme of this list, short-term recessionary concerns should take a back seat to BofA's numerous long-term advantages.</p><p>The beauty of bank stocks is that they benefit from the natural expansion of the U.S. economy. The disproportionate amount of time the economy spends expanding, relative to contracting, allows Bank of America to grow its loan portfolio and deposits, which boosts its net-interest income over the long run.</p><p>Something else worth noting about Bank of America is that it's the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. With the Federal Reserve aggressively hiking interest rates in order to tame inflation, outstanding variable-rate loans are becoming more profitable for banks and credit unions without them having to lift a proverbial finger. Since the federal funds target rate is coming off an extended period where it was effectively at 0%, the implication is that BofA can expect a sizable uptick in net-interest income in the years ahead.</p><p>This is also a company that's done a phenomenal job of encouraging its customers to bank digitally. As of the end of June, 43 million active users were banking online or via mobile, with 48% of all sales being completed digitally. Because digital transactions are considerably cheaper than in-person and phone interactions for banks, this digital push has allowed BofA to consolidate some of its physical branches and reduce its noninterest expenses.</p><h2>Berkshire Hathaway</h2><p>The fifth and final Warren Buffett stock you can buy and never sell is (cue ironic music) ...Berkshire Hathaway. Over the past four years, there's no stock Warren Buffett has spent more money buying than his own company.</p><p>What makes Berkshire Hathaway such a rock-solid performer is Buffett's affinity for cyclical businesses and his love of dividend stocks.</p><p>As I've pointed to throughout this list, cyclical companies benefit from the substantially longer amount of time the U.S. and global economy spend expanding. Instead of trying to guess when these economic downturns will occur, Buffett has packed Berkshire Hathaway's investment portfolio with companies that thrive off the natural growth of U.S. and global gross domestic product over time.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha has generated a jaw-dropping total return of 3,641,613% for his Class A shareholders (BRK.A) since taking the reins of Berkshire Hathaway more than 57 years ago.Considering Buffett's penchant for buying high-quality stocks and hanging onto them for the long run, riding the Oracle of Omaha's coattails has proven quite profitable for decades. It's an especially smart time for investors to go shopping for Buffett stocks, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite plunging into a bear market.What follows are five Warren Buffett stocks investors can confidently buy right now and never have to sell.Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.AmazonThe first Buffett stock that can be bought without investors losing any sleep is e-commerce leader Amazon. Although Amazon's leading online marketplace is susceptible to weakness during recessions, this top revenue segment isn't the key to the company potentially tripling its operating cash flow over the next four years.Even though Amazon is estimated to bring in nearly 40% of all U.S. online retail sales in 2022, it's the company's higher-margin ancillary operating segments that are driving its profitability and cash flow. For example, the popularity of Amazon's marketplace has helped the company sign up more than 200 million Prime members worldwide. Amazon is bringing in approximately $35 billion in annual run-rate sales from subscription services, which is allowing it to reinvest in its vast logistics network and other high-growth initiatives.The other heavy-hitter is cloud infrastructure services segment Amazon Web Services (AWS). According to a recent report from Canalys, AWS brought in an estimated 31% of cloud-service spending during the second quarter. Even though AWS only accounts for a sixth of Amazon's net sales, it's been consistently producing more than half of the company's operating income. With cloud growth still in its early innings and AWS growing into a larger percentage of Amazon's total sales, the company looks cheaper than ever, relative to its future cash flow-generating potential.VisaThe second Warren Buffett stock investors can buy and never have to consider selling is payment processor Visa. Despite being cyclical, Visa's sustainable competitive advantages make it a no-brainer stock to hold for the long term.To begin with, Visa accounted for a whopping 54% of U.S. credit card network purchase volume in 2020. The U.S. is the leading market for consumption in the world, and Visa holds a 31-percentage-point lead over its next-closest competitor. To boot, it's the only payment processor that significantly expanded its share of the U.S. processing market following the Great Recession (2007-2009).To add to the above, the vast majority of global transactions are still being conducted with cash. This should give Visa ample opportunity to organically expand into underbanked markets, such as the Middle East, Africa, and Southeastern Asia, and to make acquisitions to further its reach.It's also worth noting that Visa doesn't act as a lender. By only focusing on payment processing, Visa doesn't have to worry about possible loan delinquencies, and therefore isn't required to set aside capital to cover potential loan losses. This is a big reason why Visa's profit margin is usually at or above 50%.The GMC Hummer EV is one of 30 electric vehicles GM is releasing by the end of 2025. Image source: General Motors.General MotorsA third Warren Buffett stock to buy and never sell is Detroit auto giant General Motors. Though economic weakness and historically high inflation threaten to sap auto sales in the short run, the long-awaited growth catalyst for General Motors has arrived.The electrification of autos for consumers and enterprise fleets is the multidecade opportunity the auto industry has been waiting for. With most developed countries angling to reduce their carbon footprints, electric vehicles (EVs) are viewed as a sustainable growth story.General Motors intends to spend $35 billion on EVs, autonomous vehicles, and battery research through the midpoint of the decade. The expectation, according to CEO Mary Barra, is for GM to roll out 30 new EVs by the end of 2025. The company should have two fully devoted battery plants up and running by the end of next year, with over 1 million EVs produced annually in North America in 2025.What's more, GM has a sizable presence in China, the world's No. 1 auto market. General Motors has sold 2.9 million vehicles in back-to-back years in China, and should have the opportunity to gobble up market share in China's still-nascent EV industry.Bank of AmericaThe fourth Warren Buffett stock that can be bought hand over fist and never sold is financial juggernaut Bank of America. To keep with the prevailing theme of this list, short-term recessionary concerns should take a back seat to BofA's numerous long-term advantages.The beauty of bank stocks is that they benefit from the natural expansion of the U.S. economy. The disproportionate amount of time the economy spends expanding, relative to contracting, allows Bank of America to grow its loan portfolio and deposits, which boosts its net-interest income over the long run.Something else worth noting about Bank of America is that it's the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. With the Federal Reserve aggressively hiking interest rates in order to tame inflation, outstanding variable-rate loans are becoming more profitable for banks and credit unions without them having to lift a proverbial finger. Since the federal funds target rate is coming off an extended period where it was effectively at 0%, the implication is that BofA can expect a sizable uptick in net-interest income in the years ahead.This is also a company that's done a phenomenal job of encouraging its customers to bank digitally. As of the end of June, 43 million active users were banking online or via mobile, with 48% of all sales being completed digitally. Because digital transactions are considerably cheaper than in-person and phone interactions for banks, this digital push has allowed BofA to consolidate some of its physical branches and reduce its noninterest expenses.Berkshire HathawayThe fifth and final Warren Buffett stock you can buy and never sell is (cue ironic music) ...Berkshire Hathaway. Over the past four years, there's no stock Warren Buffett has spent more money buying than his own company.What makes Berkshire Hathaway such a rock-solid performer is Buffett's affinity for cyclical businesses and his love of dividend stocks.As I've pointed to throughout this list, cyclical companies benefit from the substantially longer amount of time the U.S. and global economy spend expanding. Instead of trying to guess when these economic downturns will occur, Buffett has packed Berkshire Hathaway's investment portfolio with companies that thrive off the natural growth of U.S. and global gross domestic product over time. Tech stocks, financials (banks, insurers, and payment processors), and energy stocks (oil companies) all benefit immensely from extended bull markets.Additionally, Berkshire Hathaway is on track to collect approximately $6.07 billion in dividend income over the next 12 months. Income stocks are usually profitable, have navigated their way through prior recessions, and offer an extensive history of outperformance when compared to their non-paying peers.With Warren Buffett overseeing a 20.1% average annual return for his company's Class A shares over the past 57 years (ended Dec. 31, 2021), investors probably can't go wrong adding Berkshire Hathaway to their own portfolios.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":416,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9937343905,"gmtCreate":1663374563808,"gmtModify":1676537260350,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9937343905","repostId":"1186067066","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1186067066","pubTimestamp":1663339267,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1186067066?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-16 22:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meta Platforms Could Be The Most Undervalued Technology Company In The Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1186067066","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryMeta Platforms has declined by more than 50% in 2022, falling much further than the major ind","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Meta Platforms has declined by more than 50% in 2022, falling much further than the major indices.</li><li>META is now trading at a valuation that puts its share price at a lower price than it was in parts of 2017.</li><li>META is one of the best-positioned companies from a numbers standpoint, with tens of billions in FCF and a clean balance sheet.</li><li>I believe that META is oversold and can be one of the largest recovery stories in 2023.</li><li>I do much more than just articles at Barbell Capital: Members get access to model portfolios, regular updates, a chat room, and more.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e894087fef4c63171b4c071ed5165399\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"485\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Despite increasing its revenue by $78.76 billion (193.73%), gross profit by $60.9 billion (173%), cash from operations by $34.25 billion (141.44%), Free Cash Flow (FCF) by $18.35 billion (104.94%), and net income by $17.72 billion (111.32%) over the prior 5 fiscal years, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) is trading well below the $176.46 per share it closed 2017 with. </p><p>Over the past year, META has declined by -59.88%, and YTD has fallen well below the major idiocies, declining -55.71%. I am asking myself if META is a broken company or a broken stock? I believe META is a quintessential example of a mispriced stock in the market. </p><p>There are countless aspects that impact a company's stock price, but looking past perceptions and opinions, the numbers indicate that META is inaccurately valued.

Unfortunately, out of all the valuation metrics, there isn't one that is looked at the same way throughout different industries. My opinion is that it's a tie between META and Alphabet (GOOGL) as to which company has the strongest balance sheet in the entire market. Some would say GOOGL as it has more assets, cash, and equity, but there are many similarities between the two. META has $0 in long-term debt, and its cash position of $40.49 billion is 92% of its total liabilities, which includes capital leases. META isn't a profitless tech company, yet its shares have plummeted more than -50% in 2022.</p><p>It is astonishing how investors can justify paying double the Price to Free Cash Flow (FCF) multiple for The Coca-Cola Company (KO) than META, when META produces more than double the amount of FCF, and profits. The Price to FCF metric is a longtime favorite of mine that has recently become popular as FCF has become important again. FCF is often looked at as one of the best measures of profitability as FCF excludes the non-cash expenses of the income statement and includes spending on equipment and assets as well as changes in working capital from the balance sheet. To some investors, FCF is more important to analyze than net income because it's harder to manipulate as it is a true indication of the company's cash. FCF is also the pool of capital that companies can utilize to repay debt, pay dividends, buy back shares, make acquisitions, or reinvest in the business. With every investment, you're paying the current value for a company's present and future cash flow. More commentators on financial networks have discussed the importance of generating FCF in the past 6 months than in the past 3 years.</p><p>I will go through META's financials, but to show how undervalued its shares are, I will compare META to 10 other companies. I am selecting companies from big tech and consumer staples to show the level of FCF produced in different industries and the price to FCF multiple for each company. This comparison will show that the methodology of investing in companies that produce things should be updated to investing in companies that produce strong cash flow, regardless of the industry they operate in. The companies I will compare META to are:</p><ul><li>Apple (AAPL)</li><li>Microsoft (MSFT)</li><li>Amazon (AMZN)</li><li>Alphabet (GOOGL)</li><li>Tesla (TSLA)</li><li>Procter & Gamble (PG)</li><li>The Coca-Cola Company (KO)</li><li>Kimberly-Clark (KMB)</li><li>McDonald's (MCD)</li><li>PepsiCo (PEP)</li></ul><p>In addition to adding the disclosure at the end, I want to be clear prior to the analysis that I am a shareholder of AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, META, TSLA, and KO. The numbers are the numbers and cannot be manipulated, and I am not cherry-picking information. I will be using the FCF over the TTM as the amount of FCF produced, not a projected Forward FCF number.</p><p>Below is a table of the price to FCF multiple Mr. Market has placed on each of these companies at the close of business on 9/15.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf7dd587e809c33c52bf46c57ba1993c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"204\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha, Steven Fiorillo</span></p><p>First, I will start by comparing META to the consumer staples companies I selected. The average price to FCF across PEP, MCD, KO, PG, and KMB is 27.82x. These companies have an average market cap of $208.34 billion and generate an average of $7.59 billion of FCF. PG is the largest company in this group, with a market cap of $327.86 billion, generating $13.57 billion in FCF, with a price to FCF multiple of 24.17x. KMB has the lowest FCF multiple of 22.65x and generated $1.8 billion of FCF in the TTM.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96b576061282a7b5f2c693c23d683d0b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"125\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha, Steven Fiorillo</span></p><p>When I compare META to these companies, META's share price has fallen off a cliff while these consumer staples have a range of appreciating by 0.39% to declining by -15.63%. They have been safer investments, providing better downside risk mitigation while paying quarterly dividends to shareholders.</p><p>Here is where valuations get interesting. KMB has a market cap of $40.99 billion, generated $1.81 billion of FCF, and trades at a price to FCF multiple of 22.65x. META's market cap is 9.8x larger than KMB, yet it produces 19.8x the amount of FCF than KMB. You can purchase shares of META for a price to FCF multiple of 11.22x, which is slightly less than half the multiple Mr. Market has given KMB at 22.65x. The valuations do not make sense. If you were buying an entire company, would you rather purchase KMB for $40.99 billion when it generates $1.81 billion of FCF or META for $401.92 billion when it generates $35.83 billion in FCF? I would rather buy META at 9.8x the price tag to generate 19.8x more FCF, especially since I am paying a multiple of 11.22x for its FCF.</p><p>If I look at PG instead, PG has a similar market cap to META at $327.86 billion and produces $13.57 billion of FCF. PG is currently trading at a price to FCF multiple of 24.17x. This valuation also doesn't make sense as META is priced at a price-to-FCF ratio that is 53.58% less than PG's. META's market cap is only 22.59% larger than PG's, yet it generates 264.1% more FCF than PG. For an additional $74.06 billion (22.59% larger), you could buy the entire company of META and generate an additional $22.26 billion of annual FCF.</p><p>Looking at the most expensive staple, PEP, the valuations become even more unrealistic. PEP has generated $6.34 billion of FCF in the TTM and trades at a price to FCF multiple of 36.12x. FB has a market cap that's 75.57% larger than PEP, yet it produces 565.32% more FCF than PEP. The market has placed a multiple of more than 3x PEP's FCF on its price compared to how META trades.</p><p>These examples are to illustrate how the market values different types of companies. At the end of the day, the numbers and the numbers, and $1 of FCF is $1 of FCF, it doesn't matter if you're selling Tide laundry detergent, a can of Pepsi, or ads on Facebook. META generates tens of billions more in FCF than these consumer staples and trades at a fraction of the valuation, which in my opinion, is an indication that META is grossly misvalued in the market.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd7b41ccbf9f032556a7dc82aaf95a28\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"334\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67cf0fd52142b1d0c959b14d640871c3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"126\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha, Steven Fiorillo</span></p><p>I wanted to compare META to consumer staple companies first because media commentators have been discussing allocating capital toward defensive companies, which has traditionally meant consumer staples. I believe cash is king and the combination of companies with growing revenues, large profits, large FCF, and clean balance sheets is where capital should be allocated to regardless of the economic environment.</p><p>When I look at META compared to the other large tech companies, META once again looks undervalued. The goal in business is to generate a profit, and AMZN has been operating at a negative FCF and low-profit margin in the TTM, yet its market cap vastly overshadows META's. In the TTM,AMZNhas generated $11.61 billion in net income compared to META's $33.63 billion of net income, yet its market cap is more than 3x the size. AMZN has also generated $35.57 billion of cash from operations in the TTM, placing its FCF at -$29.78 billion as they have allocated $65.36 billion toward CapEx. AMZN has a profit margin of 2.39% compared to META's 28.16%. Looking at AMZN's negative FCF, and low-profit margin, it's hard to justify META's 11.22x price to FCF.</p><p>The market has loved TSLA, and its market cap is on the verge of surpassing $1 trillion. Currently, TSLA has produced $6.94 billion in FCF and trades at a price to FCF multiple of 137.21x. Many investors would say you need to look at TSLA's growth, so I did. Since the close of 2018, TSLA has grown its revenue by $45.71 billion (212.97%) while META has grown its revenue by $63.57 billion (113.85%). While TSLA's growth rate is larger, META has grown its revenue by a significantly larger amount in the same period. Looking at net income, TSLA has grown its net income by $10.5 billion to $9.52 billion since the close of 2018, while META has grown its net income by $11.52 billion to $33.63 billion in the same period. When I look at the growth of TSLA, it's impressive, and TSLA is doing so many things well, but the valuation is broken. TSLA trading at 137.21x its FCF compared to META at 11.22x is, in my opinion, an indication that META is undervalued. Would you rather buy a company for $951.79 billion that produces $6.94 billion in FCF, or a company for $401.92 billion, producing $35.83 billion of FCF?</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d076a04b04d1dac58a237adf8a51eeb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"334\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p><b>Even if the Metaverse is a flop, META is paying for its development in cash, isn't taking on debt, and shouldn't be penalized because others can't understand Zuckerberg's vision</b></p><p>One of the reasons I believe META has been discarded is that many investors don't agree with META's play on the Metaverse. Whether the Metaverse will work or become mainstream is a debate that can't be won at this point in time, and we will need to wait and see how the story unfolds. The aspect that can be discussed is how the Metaverse is impacting META's numbers and whether it is a liability.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1d73b4ceb140399b8cdf08713b80199\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"741\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>As I indicated earlier, META has one of the cleanest balance sheets you will ever read. Debt is not in META's vocabulary, as long-term debt will not be found on its balance sheet. META has a cash-to-total liability ratio of 0.92x and can pay off almost every liability tomorrow with a check. Debating if the Metaverse will work is a moot point because, in the end, it doesn't matter. META isn't taking on debt to fund this project, so if it doesn't work, it will be chalked up as an expensive failed experiment, but if it is successful, the Metaverse could become a tremendous revenue generator and profit center. While billions in capital are being spent on the Metaverse, META has also been buying back shares.

Over the past year, META has declined by -59.88%, and YTD has fallen well below the major idiocies, declining -55.71%. I am asking myself if META is a broken company or a broken stock? I believe META is a quintessential example of a mispriced stock in the market. There are countless aspects that impact a company's stock price, but looking past perceptions and opinions, the numbers indicate that META is inaccurately valued. Unless financial fraud is occurring, the numbers disclosed on 10Q and 10K reports cannot be manipulated. $1 of revenue and $1 of profit is still $1 of revenue and $1 of profit regardless of which industry a company operates in. If a company's revenue grows from $100 to $150, it doesn't matter if it's a technology company or a pharmaceutical company; the growth rate is 50%. My feelings are that too many people are disregarding the Metaverse and using it as a narrative as to why META has lost its way, causing negative perception and uncertainty in its stock. At the end of the day, the numbers are the numbers, and META's shares should be trading at a minimum of 80% higher.Seeking AlphaThe numbers are the numbers, and META is not being valued on what they are accomplishingThe mentality of buying companies that make things and produce consumer staples during inflationary times needs to be replaced with investing in great companies with solid balance sheets that produce large amounts of profits. Unfortunately, out of all the valuation metrics, there isn't one that is looked at the same way throughout different industries. My opinion is that it's a tie between META and Alphabet (GOOGL) as to which company has the strongest balance sheet in the entire market. Some would say GOOGL as it has more assets, cash, and equity, but there are many similarities between the two. META has $0 in long-term debt, and its cash position of $40.49 billion is 92% of its total liabilities, which includes capital leases. META isn't a profitless tech company, yet its shares have plummeted more than -50% in 2022.It is astonishing how investors can justify paying double the Price to Free Cash Flow (FCF) multiple for The Coca-Cola Company (KO) than META, when META produces more than double the amount of FCF, and profits. The Price to FCF metric is a longtime favorite of mine that has recently become popular as FCF has become important again. FCF is often looked at as one of the best measures of profitability as FCF excludes the non-cash expenses of the income statement and includes spending on equipment and assets as well as changes in working capital from the balance sheet. To some investors, FCF is more important to analyze than net income because it's harder to manipulate as it is a true indication of the company's cash. FCF is also the pool of capital that companies can utilize to repay debt, pay dividends, buy back shares, make acquisitions, or reinvest in the business. With every investment, you're paying the current value for a company's present and future cash flow. More commentators on financial networks have discussed the importance of generating FCF in the past 6 months than in the past 3 years.I will go through META's financials, but to show how undervalued its shares are, I will compare META to 10 other companies. I am selecting companies from big tech and consumer staples to show the level of FCF produced in different industries and the price to FCF multiple for each company. This comparison will show that the methodology of investing in companies that produce things should be updated to investing in companies that produce strong cash flow, regardless of the industry they operate in. The companies I will compare META to are:Apple (AAPL)Microsoft (MSFT)Amazon (AMZN)Alphabet (GOOGL)Tesla (TSLA)Procter & Gamble (PG)The Coca-Cola Company (KO)Kimberly-Clark (KMB)McDonald's (MCD)PepsiCo (PEP)In addition to adding the disclosure at the end, I want to be clear prior to the analysis that I am a shareholder of AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, META, TSLA, and KO. The numbers are the numbers and cannot be manipulated, and I am not cherry-picking information. I will be using the FCF over the TTM as the amount of FCF produced, not a projected Forward FCF number.Below is a table of the price to FCF multiple Mr. Market has placed on each of these companies at the close of business on 9/15.Seeking Alpha, Steven FiorilloFirst, I will start by comparing META to the consumer staples companies I selected. The average price to FCF across PEP, MCD, KO, PG, and KMB is 27.82x. These companies have an average market cap of $208.34 billion and generate an average of $7.59 billion of FCF. PG is the largest company in this group, with a market cap of $327.86 billion, generating $13.57 billion in FCF, with a price to FCF multiple of 24.17x. KMB has the lowest FCF multiple of 22.65x and generated $1.8 billion of FCF in the TTM.Seeking Alpha, Steven FiorilloWhen I compare META to these companies, META's share price has fallen off a cliff while these consumer staples have a range of appreciating by 0.39% to declining by -15.63%. They have been safer investments, providing better downside risk mitigation while paying quarterly dividends to shareholders.Here is where valuations get interesting. KMB has a market cap of $40.99 billion, generated $1.81 billion of FCF, and trades at a price to FCF multiple of 22.65x. META's market cap is 9.8x larger than KMB, yet it produces 19.8x the amount of FCF than KMB. You can purchase shares of META for a price to FCF multiple of 11.22x, which is slightly less than half the multiple Mr. Market has given KMB at 22.65x. The valuations do not make sense. If you were buying an entire company, would you rather purchase KMB for $40.99 billion when it generates $1.81 billion of FCF or META for $401.92 billion when it generates $35.83 billion in FCF? I would rather buy META at 9.8x the price tag to generate 19.8x more FCF, especially since I am paying a multiple of 11.22x for its FCF.If I look at PG instead, PG has a similar market cap to META at $327.86 billion and produces $13.57 billion of FCF. PG is currently trading at a price to FCF multiple of 24.17x. This valuation also doesn't make sense as META is priced at a price-to-FCF ratio that is 53.58% less than PG's. META's market cap is only 22.59% larger than PG's, yet it generates 264.1% more FCF than PG. For an additional $74.06 billion (22.59% larger), you could buy the entire company of META and generate an additional $22.26 billion of annual FCF.Looking at the most expensive staple, PEP, the valuations become even more unrealistic. PEP has generated $6.34 billion of FCF in the TTM and trades at a price to FCF multiple of 36.12x. FB has a market cap that's 75.57% larger than PEP, yet it produces 565.32% more FCF than PEP. The market has placed a multiple of more than 3x PEP's FCF on its price compared to how META trades.These examples are to illustrate how the market values different types of companies. At the end of the day, the numbers and the numbers, and $1 of FCF is $1 of FCF, it doesn't matter if you're selling Tide laundry detergent, a can of Pepsi, or ads on Facebook. META generates tens of billions more in FCF than these consumer staples and trades at a fraction of the valuation, which in my opinion, is an indication that META is grossly misvalued in the market.Seeking Alpha, Steven FiorilloI wanted to compare META to consumer staple companies first because media commentators have been discussing allocating capital toward defensive companies, which has traditionally meant consumer staples. I believe cash is king and the combination of companies with growing revenues, large profits, large FCF, and clean balance sheets is where capital should be allocated to regardless of the economic environment.When I look at META compared to the other large tech companies, META once again looks undervalued. The goal in business is to generate a profit, and AMZN has been operating at a negative FCF and low-profit margin in the TTM, yet its market cap vastly overshadows META's. In the TTM,AMZNhas generated $11.61 billion in net income compared to META's $33.63 billion of net income, yet its market cap is more than 3x the size. AMZN has also generated $35.57 billion of cash from operations in the TTM, placing its FCF at -$29.78 billion as they have allocated $65.36 billion toward CapEx. AMZN has a profit margin of 2.39% compared to META's 28.16%. Looking at AMZN's negative FCF, and low-profit margin, it's hard to justify META's 11.22x price to FCF.The market has loved TSLA, and its market cap is on the verge of surpassing $1 trillion. Currently, TSLA has produced $6.94 billion in FCF and trades at a price to FCF multiple of 137.21x. Many investors would say you need to look at TSLA's growth, so I did. Since the close of 2018, TSLA has grown its revenue by $45.71 billion (212.97%) while META has grown its revenue by $63.57 billion (113.85%). While TSLA's growth rate is larger, META has grown its revenue by a significantly larger amount in the same period. Looking at net income, TSLA has grown its net income by $10.5 billion to $9.52 billion since the close of 2018, while META has grown its net income by $11.52 billion to $33.63 billion in the same period. When I look at the growth of TSLA, it's impressive, and TSLA is doing so many things well, but the valuation is broken. TSLA trading at 137.21x its FCF compared to META at 11.22x is, in my opinion, an indication that META is undervalued. Would you rather buy a company for $951.79 billion that produces $6.94 billion in FCF, or a company for $401.92 billion, producing $35.83 billion of FCF?Even if the Metaverse is a flop, META is paying for its development in cash, isn't taking on debt, and shouldn't be penalized because others can't understand Zuckerberg's visionOne of the reasons I believe META has been discarded is that many investors don't agree with META's play on the Metaverse. Whether the Metaverse will work or become mainstream is a debate that can't be won at this point in time, and we will need to wait and see how the story unfolds. The aspect that can be discussed is how the Metaverse is impacting META's numbers and whether it is a liability.As I indicated earlier, META has one of the cleanest balance sheets you will ever read. Debt is not in META's vocabulary, as long-term debt will not be found on its balance sheet. META has a cash-to-total liability ratio of 0.92x and can pay off almost every liability tomorrow with a check. Debating if the Metaverse will work is a moot point because, in the end, it doesn't matter. META isn't taking on debt to fund this project, so if it doesn't work, it will be chalked up as an expensive failed experiment, but if it is successful, the Metaverse could become a tremendous revenue generator and profit center. While billions in capital are being spent on the Metaverse, META has also been buying back shares. Over the previous 4 years, META has repurchased 5.37% of its outstanding shares, which amounts to 166.5 million shares.Looking forward, META is expected to continue to grow in 2023. In the TTM META has generated $119.41 billion of revenue and produced $12.22 in EPS. The consensus estimates are that META will generate $118.16 billion of revenue in 2022 and $131.1 billion in 2023, and on the high side, those numbers could be $128.54 billion in 2022 and $154.65 billion in 2023.META and GOOGL have a duopoly on advertising, and regardless of what AMZN, AAPL, or Netflix (NFLX) plans to incorporate into their platforms, it's hard to run a business without a website, Instagram page, or a Facebook page. If META maintains its profit margin of 28.16%, it could generate $33.28 billion of net income in 2022 based on the analyst consensus and $36.92 billion in 2023. If META exceeds expectations, it could generate over $35 billion of profit in 2022 and $40 billion in 2023. META is being priced as if a fire sale is occurring, and I believe it's due to public perception, not the numbers.ConclusionThe markets may continue to be extremely volatile going into the next Fed meeting, and there is no telling how the markets will react if we receive a 75 basis point increase. META is trading where it did in 2017, yet it's improved in every financial metric and printed tens of billions in profits and FCF annually. While there are no signals that the pain is over, I am continuing to purchase META on the way down. META's current valuation and financials indicate that this is a broken stock, not a broken company. From a numbers standpoint, META looks to be the best buy in big tech and possibly one of the best buys in the market if you have a long-term perspective.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":380,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9934735660,"gmtCreate":1663298831350,"gmtModify":1676537247535,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9934735660","repostId":"2267658346","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2267658346","pubTimestamp":1663294502,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2267658346?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-16 10:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Investors Lost Their Taste for Apple on Thursday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2267658346","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The company is No. 1, apparently, in a race few publicly traded entities want to win.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>What happened</h2><p>Quick, what's the most-shorted stock on the U.S. market just now?</p><p>It's likely your guess wasn't <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>, as it's an enduringly popular stock anchoring a tech brand beloved by millions.</p><p>No one likes to hear that their company tops the list of short interest, so investors traded Apple down on Thursday, following the reveal. At the end of the day, the company's share price had slipped by nearly 2%.</p><h2>So what</h2><p>The entity behind this revelation is short-interest researcher S3 Partners, which found that Apple recently unseated electric-vehicle (EV) maker <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a> for the No. 1 most-shorted crown. All told, said position -- i.e., the total value of shares borrowed for shorting purposes -- is just over $18.4 billion for Apple. That tops the current $17.4 billion-plus for Tesla.</p><p>The EV company wasn't easy to dislodge. S3 Partners said that the frequently volatile Tesla was the most-shorted stock for 864 days straight, i.e. nearly 2 1/2 years, dating back to April 2020. In a research note, S3 Partners said that, "The change in the top spot in the short interest rankings was primarily based on short sellers cutting their TSLA exposure and not a huge jump in AAPL short selling."</p><p>But the "shorts" might also consider Apple vulnerable, given the anticipated slowdown in China -- a key market for the company. Worries about discretionary consumer spending in the face of inflation might also be leading some to effectively place a bet against the company's success.</p><h2>Now what</h2><p>While this development is something to keep an eye on, it does need some perspective.

At the end of the day, the company's share price had slipped by nearly 2%.So whatThe entity behind this revelation is short-interest researcher S3 Partners, which found that Apple recently unseated electric-vehicle (EV) maker Tesla for the No. 1 most-shorted crown. All told, said position -- i.e., the total value of shares borrowed for shorting purposes -- is just over $18.4 billion for Apple. That tops the current $17.4 billion-plus for Tesla.The EV company wasn't easy to dislodge. S3 Partners said that the frequently volatile Tesla was the most-shorted stock for 864 days straight, i.e. nearly 2 1/2 years, dating back to April 2020. In a research note, S3 Partners said that, \"The change in the top spot in the short interest rankings was primarily based on short sellers cutting their TSLA exposure and not a huge jump in AAPL short selling.\"But the \"shorts\" might also consider Apple vulnerable, given the anticipated slowdown in China -- a key market for the company. Worries about discretionary consumer spending in the face of inflation might also be leading some to effectively place a bet against the company's success.Now whatWhile this development is something to keep an eye on, it does need some perspective. Compared to Tesla, Apple is a massively capitalized beast. Its total market cap is over $2.4 trillion (yes, that's trillion), with over 16 billion shares outstanding.Tesla's figures are a respective $918 billion and 3 billion-plus. So proportionally, Tesla is much more heavily shorted, at 1.9% of outstanding shares, versus only 0.7% for Apple.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9934836248,"gmtCreate":1663213288485,"gmtModify":1676537229523,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9934836248","repostId":"1113376853","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":74,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9932457783,"gmtCreate":1662984115643,"gmtModify":1676537175844,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"RIP","listText":"RIP","text":"RIP","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9932457783","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":305,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9932282357,"gmtCreate":1662945582079,"gmtModify":1676537168419,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍 ","listText":"👍 ","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9932282357","repostId":"1195980012","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195980012","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1662944586,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1195980012?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-12 09:03","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Reminder: HKEX Market Closes For Mid-Autumn Festival on Monday, 12 September 2022","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195980012","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The Hong Kong market and China A-share market close on Monday, 12 September 2022 for Mid-Autumn Fest","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Hong Kong market and China A-share market close on Monday, 12 September 2022 for Mid-Autumn Festival.

External factors like interest rates, inflation and the risk of a recession are keeping shares in the EV maker rangebound. This may carry on in the near term.</p><p>This doesn’t mean you should take a hard pass on Tesla. While it may not make another big leap immediately, shares stand to do so down the road.</p><p>Macro worries notwithstanding, the rapid adoption of EVs point to continued strong prospects ahead for this company, and for the stock. It may be getting close to exit the charging station. Let’s dive in, and find out why.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>TSLA</b></td><td><b>Tesla</b></td><td>$295.90</td></tr></tbody></table><h2>A Closer Look at TSLA Stock</h2><p>Overall market sentiment explains why Tesla shares find themselves rangebound at present. While there’s still positive news coming out of the company (more below), it’s not enough to counter the above-mentioned concerns.</p><p>Again, this could continue for now with TSLA stock. More talk about a 2023 recession could result in it giving back some more of its August gains. So too, could further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.</p><p>Rising interest rates will make more investors skeptical about whether it’s justified for shares to sport such a high earnings multiple. Right now, it trades for 69x forward earnings.</p><p>Yet while this may make investing in Tesla frustrating at present, this frustration may not last long. Unlike growth stocks overall, which may take some time to begin their recovery, a rebound for high-quality EV plays like this one could arrive much sooner.</p><p>EV adoption in the U.S. and in China (the largest EV market) keeps accelerating. This may end up outweighing the fallout from a recession. It may not be certain but, digging into the data, it’s reasonable to believe that this scenario will play out.</p><h2>A Lot Points to Results Staying Strong</h2><p>Doom and gloom headlines may have you concerned about growth for TSLA stock in the coming year. However, a look at EV sales trends suggests otherwise. Now at5.3%of new car sales, U.S. EV adoption is occurring at afaster-than-anticipated rate.</p><p>This adoption rate is likely to continue climbing, as the expanded EV tax credit,courtesy of the Inflation Reduction Act, further bolsters demand.</p><p>The switch from buying gas-powered cars, to buying electric-powered ones, accelerated by the Federal Government’s financial incentives, may help counter the effect of belt-tightening among U.S. households.</p><p>Over in China, talk about a slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy may have you concerned that growth in Tesla’s key international market will take a big hit.</p><p>Yet just last month, Tesla sawa significant increasein deliveries and sales from its Shanghai gigafactory. With things at this facility firing on all cylinders, the EV maker is now operating at maximum production capacity.</p><p>This leaves it well-positioned to sell into demand, robust due to thebig increase in EV penetration of the global auto market. All of this points to the company continuing to meet/beat expectations with its fiscal results.</p><h2>The TSLA Stock Takeaway</h2><p>Tesla stock continues to earn a B rating in my<i>Portfolio Grader</i>. It may not happen right this second, but a breakout may be around the corner for shares. One could occur within the next few months. Either when it next reports earnings in October, or when it reports full-year results in January.</p><p>Although this may not satisfy impatient investors, these are more promising prospects for other growth plays.

External factors like interest rates, inflation and the risk of a recession are keeping shares in the EV maker rangebound. This may carry on in the near term.This doesn’t mean you should take a hard pass on Tesla. While it may not make another big leap immediately, shares stand to do so down the road.Macro worries notwithstanding, the rapid adoption of EVs point to continued strong prospects ahead for this company, and for the stock. It may be getting close to exit the charging station. Let’s dive in, and find out why.TSLATesla$295.90A Closer Look at TSLA StockOverall market sentiment explains why Tesla shares find themselves rangebound at present. While there’s still positive news coming out of the company (more below), it’s not enough to counter the above-mentioned concerns.Again, this could continue for now with TSLA stock. More talk about a 2023 recession could result in it giving back some more of its August gains. So too, could further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.Rising interest rates will make more investors skeptical about whether it’s justified for shares to sport such a high earnings multiple. Right now, it trades for 69x forward earnings.Yet while this may make investing in Tesla frustrating at present, this frustration may not last long. Unlike growth stocks overall, which may take some time to begin their recovery, a rebound for high-quality EV plays like this one could arrive much sooner.EV adoption in the U.S. and in China (the largest EV market) keeps accelerating. This may end up outweighing the fallout from a recession. It may not be certain but, digging into the data, it’s reasonable to believe that this scenario will play out.A Lot Points to Results Staying StrongDoom and gloom headlines may have you concerned about growth for TSLA stock in the coming year. However, a look at EV sales trends suggests otherwise. Now at5.3%of new car sales, U.S. EV adoption is occurring at afaster-than-anticipated rate.This adoption rate is likely to continue climbing, as the expanded EV tax credit,courtesy of the Inflation Reduction Act, further bolsters demand.The switch from buying gas-powered cars, to buying electric-powered ones, accelerated by the Federal Government’s financial incentives, may help counter the effect of belt-tightening among U.S. households.Over in China, talk about a slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy may have you concerned that growth in Tesla’s key international market will take a big hit.Yet just last month, Tesla sawa significant increasein deliveries and sales from its Shanghai gigafactory. With things at this facility firing on all cylinders, the EV maker is now operating at maximum production capacity.This leaves it well-positioned to sell into demand, robust due to thebig increase in EV penetration of the global auto market. All of this points to the company continuing to meet/beat expectations with its fiscal results.The TSLA Stock TakeawayTesla stock continues to earn a B rating in myPortfolio Grader. It may not happen right this second, but a breakout may be around the corner for shares. One could occur within the next few months. Either when it next reports earnings in October, or when it reports full-year results in January.Although this may not satisfy impatient investors, these are more promising prospects for other growth plays. Secular EV growth trends may enable it to deliver the results needed to sustain and grow its stock price.Other high-fliers struggling right now may face a far longer timeline to a comeback. Instead of a mere few months,it could take a year, or even longer, to get out of rangebound mode, and back into high-flying mode.TSLA stock remains an EV play worth holding onto, and a name to consider buying. Whether now or on further weakness.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":268,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9932819646,"gmtCreate":1662914044785,"gmtModify":1676537162089,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9932819646","repostId":"2266398293","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2266398293","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1662857059,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2266398293?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-11 08:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"A Strong Market Rally Could Be Just Weeks Away If the U.S. Midterm Elections Can Put Anxious Stock Investors at Ease","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2266398293","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"If the U.S. midterm election cycle this year is like past ones, the stock market will carve out an i","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>If the U.S. midterm election cycle this year is like past ones, the stock market will carve out an important low right around Election Day in November.</p><p>That should give some hope to beleaguered investors whose stock holdings have suffered double-digit losses so far this year.

Fool","summary":"There are some excellent businesses in Berkshire Hathaway's stock portfolio, but others should be approached with caution.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> has a massive stock portfolio with dozen of companies worth well over $300 billion, and many of its positions were selected by CEO Warren Buffett himself.</p><p>For the most part, Buffett and his investment managers are known for buying the stocks of tried-and-true businesses that are well established and stable but still have long-term growth potential. But that's not always the case, and not every "Buffett stock" is worth buying now. Here are two in particular that look like attractive long-term investments after the recent market decline and one growth stock in Berkshire's portfolio that you might want to think twice about.</p><h2>1. This Buffett bank stock could be a big winner in the rising-rate environment</h2><p><b>Bank of America</b> is the second-largest stock position in Berkshire's portfolio. As of the latest information, Berkshire owned just over a billion shares of the megabank, which translates to an ownership stake of about 13%.</p><p>The bank stock is down by about 35% from its recent high, mainly due to recession fears. In recessions, banks often see an uptick in loan defaults as well as a slowdown in consumer demand for borrowing. However, Bank of America is also well positioned to <i>benefit</i> from the current environment. As the Federal Reserve raises rates, it is likely to result in billions in additional net interest income for Bank of America. The bank has a massive base of low-cost and non-interest-bearing deposits, and rate hikes have a big impact on the bottom line.</p><p>We've already started to see this in the bank's second-quarter results, and management estimates that a 100-basis-point (one percentage point) shift in the yield curve would produce an additional $5 billion in net interest income annually, which could certainly help offset any negative impact of an economic slowdown.</p><h2>2. A mini-Berkshire that has one big advantage over Buffett</h2><p><b>Markel</b> is often referred to as "baby Berkshire," and it's easy to see why. An insurance company at heart, Markel also invests its float in a portfolio of stocks, as well as in private businesses, through its Markel Ventures division. So it wasn't too surprising to see Berkshire add Markel to its stock portfolio this year.</p><p>It's important to note that Markel not only has a similar business model to Berkshire Hathaway, but it actually has one key advantage over it -- its size. With a market cap of about $16 billion, Markel is less than 3% of Berkshire's size. This means that Markel can produce needle-moving returns from smaller investments (like its venture capital business) than Berkshire can. As a simplified example, if Berkshire invests $100 million in a stock that ends up producing 100x returns, it would only result in about a 2% increase in the company's market value. For Markel, such an investment would be game-changing.</p><p>In short, Markel uses a time-tested business model and is comparable to an earlier-stage investment in Berkshire Hathaway itself.</p><h2>3. A high-potential fintech that faces some big headwinds</h2><p>A few years ago, Berkshire did something that it rarely does and invested in a high-growth business that had just made its public debut. While the investment wasn't made by Buffett himself, Berkshire added shares of Brazil-based fintech <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STNE\">StoneCo</a></b>.</p><p>For a while, StoneCo was one of the best performers in Berkshire's portfolio, but the stock has been absolutely hammered in the recent downturn, with shares down by more than 90% from the highs. And while the business still has lots of potential, it's also become much riskier. The company reported a hefty net loss in the second quarter, compared with a profit a year ago, and growth has slowed down tremendously. Inflation is higher in StoneCo's market than it is in the United States, and a recession could cause a sharp decline in consumer spending. Plus, StoneCo's CFO recently decided to leave the company.</p><p>To be sure, StoneCo could end up being a home run for patient investors. If recession fears subside, growth could rebound. The company is slowly rolling out its credit card business, which could be a massive revenue driver long term. But there's too much that can go wrong in the near term, so I'm staying on the sidelines.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>2 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist and 1 to Avoid</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n2 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist and 1 to Avoid\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-09 23:20 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/08/2-warren-buffett-stocks-to-buy-hand-over-fist-and/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway has a massive stock portfolio with dozen of companies worth well over $300 billion, and many of its positions were selected by CEO Warren Buffett himself.For the most part, Buffett ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/08/2-warren-buffett-stocks-to-buy-hand-over-fist-and/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BAC":"美国银行","STNE":"StoneCo","MKL":"Markel Corp"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/08/2-warren-buffett-stocks-to-buy-hand-over-fist-and/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2265863151","content_text":"Berkshire Hathaway has a massive stock portfolio with dozen of companies worth well over $300 billion, and many of its positions were selected by CEO Warren Buffett himself.For the most part, Buffett and his investment managers are known for buying the stocks of tried-and-true businesses that are well established and stable but still have long-term growth potential.

Moreover, the Chinese government is now taking market-friendly measures to stabilize markets and support stock prices. We could be looking at a tectonic shift in China, and Alibaba shares will likely get a substantial bid moving forward.

Alibaba soared by approximately $100 billion in market cap in a single day. China will provide additional support to the Chinese economy through monetary policy, and the government reaffirmed that it supports foreign IPOs. The report also stated that China supports listings overseas and will work with the SEC to resolve any issues.</p><p>Concerns over increased regulation, possible delisting fears, and other transitory concerns led Alibaba to unprecedented declines over the last year. The stock cratered by about 77% (peak to trough) from its recent highs, illustrating one of the most significant market cap declines. Recent selling became indiscriminate and panic-driven, likely leading to one of the best buying opportunities in Alibaba's history. The most striking thing is that nothing material changed about Alibaba's business. The company's growth slowed a bit more than expected, and it's going through a transitory margin compression phase. However, this is not something that warrants a 77% decline or anything even close, and Alibaba's stock remains exceptionally cheap.</p><p><b>Alibaba Back Then And Now</b></p><p>Back then (in 2015), when I first began buying Alibaba, its stock was around $80. In recent sessions, Alibaba's stock dipped below $80 for the first time in about six years. In 2015 Alibaba's revenues were $12.3 billion, and the company recorded approximately $131.6 billion in revenues in its trailing twelve months ("TTM"). Its gross profit was at about $8.4 billion then, and nearly $50 billion in its TTM. I think you get the picture here. Revenues and many profitability metrics have surged in the past six years, yet Alibaba's stock price was back at its post-IPO lows in recent days. I've written many articles on Alibaba, I own the stock, and I continue to argue that Alibaba's stock price is unjustly low and has a strong probability of moving significantly higher in future years.</p><p><b>Alibaba's Stock Is Remarkably Cheap</b></p><p>How cheap is Alibaba, even after its unprecedented 40% move higher? Consensus EPS estimates are for approximately $10 in 2023, illustrating that at $100, the stock is only trading at ten times forward EPS estimates. If we look at Alibaba's revenue projections, we see that the company should still grow revenues by 10-15% in the coming years. Moreover, Alibaba has the potential to become more profitable in future years, suggesting that its EPS projections may be muted and lowballed. The company's growth dynamic, profitability potential, and low valuation illustrate that its stock remains exceptionally cheap and has a high probability of appreciating substantially in future years.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line: Not Selling A Single Share</b></p><p>I'm not selling a single Alibaba share here. As I've written many times, Alibaba and Chinese stocks, in general, went through a transitory phase where overly negative news flow put enormous pressure on stock prices. This problematic period lasted for over one year and caused stock prices, including Alibaba's, to decline to obscenely oversold and undervalued levels. Now that the negative news is behind us, we will likely see more emphasis on positive developments regarding Alibaba. The company does not face significant threats from the regulation, and the U.S. delisting fears are overblown. Moreover, Alibaba remains a dominant, market-leading e-commerce giant that should continue growing double-digit for several years. Furthermore, the company's stock is dirt cheap right now, and Alibaba's share price will likely appreciate considerably as the company advances in future years.</p><p><b>Here's what Alibaba's financials could look like as the company moves forward into 2025:</b></p><table><tbody><tr><td>Year</td><td>2022</td><td>2023</td><td>2024</td><td>2025</td></tr><tr><td>Revenues</td><td>$151B</td><td>$167B</td><td>$184B</td><td>$203B</td></tr><tr><td>Revenue growth</td><td>15.3%</td><td>10.6%</td><td>10.2%</td><td>10.3%</td></tr><tr><td>EPS</td><td>$10.25</td><td>$10.55</td><td>$13.12</td><td>$15.85</td></tr><tr><td>Forward P/E</td><td>12</td><td>15</td><td>18</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>Price</td><td>$127</td><td>$197</td><td>$285</td><td>$375</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: The Author</p><p>As we advance, Alibaba's revenue growth should continue to expand, and the company's profitability should continue improving. Moreover, the company's transitory negative news flow stage should continue to pass. Therefore, sentiment should strengthen, and Alibaba's P/E multiple should gradually expand. It is not uncommon for companies with similar growth and profitability dynamics to trade at 20-30 times EPS estimates or higher. Thus, Alibaba should not have a problem getting back up to a 20 P/E multiple in future years. As sentiment improves, its share price could appreciate considerably in the coming years, to my price target of $375 in 2025.</p><p><b>Risks To Consider</b></p><p>While I'm bullish on Alibaba, various factors could occur that may derail my expectations for the company. For instance, the regulation could clamp down further on Alibaba and other Chinese tech giants. Moreover, U.S. regulators could decide to delist the company's ADRs. Increased competition could impact Alibaba's growth and profits. The company's growth could be worse than my current anticipation. Also, Alibaba's profitability could continue to struggle for various reasons. There are multiple risks to this investment, which is why shares are very cheap right now. In my view, Alibaba remains an elevated risk/high reward investment, and investors should carefully examine the risks before opening a position in Alibaba stock.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba: Why I'm Not Selling A Single Share</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAlibaba: Why I'm Not Selling A Single Share\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-20 10:03 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4496224-alibaba-why-im-not-selling-single-share><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryAlibaba has been a challenging investment over the last year, dropping by as much as 77% from its ATH.Despite increasing revenues by more than tenfold, its stock price dropped down to levels ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4496224-alibaba-why-im-not-selling-single-share\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BABA":"阿里巴巴","09988":"阿里巴巴-W"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4496224-alibaba-why-im-not-selling-single-share","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2220430742","content_text":"SummaryAlibaba has been a challenging investment over the last year, dropping by as much as 77% from its ATH.Despite increasing revenues by more than tenfold, its stock price dropped down to levels not seen since its early post-IPO days.However, things are likely to change in a big way for Alibaba investors.Much of the transitory detrimental factors are now behind the company, and more emphasis should go towards positive developments now.Alibaba's business remains solid, growth should resume, and the company will likely become more profitable in future years.Philiphotographer/iStock Unreleased via Getty ImagesI began investing in Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) in early 2015, shortly after the company IPOed in the U.S. Incidentally, I started buying the stock at a similar price point to Alibaba's recent low ($70-80).

In my view, Alibaba remains an elevated risk/high reward investment, and investors should carefully examine the risks before opening a position in Alibaba stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":197,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9994396737,"gmtCreate":1661563112231,"gmtModify":1676536541631,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9994396737","repostId":"2262977847","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2262977847","pubTimestamp":1661561509,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2262977847?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-27 08:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Investors Should Ignore the Fed, Interest Rates, and Most News","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2262977847","media":"TheStreet","summary":"The stock market often makes big moves based on short-term news.

Moves in the derivative market have the capacity to spur gyrations in underlying securities. There are signs that demand for options hedging is waning as money managers have cut their equity exposure and some opted for other ways such as index shorting for protection during the rout.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d99451e26c11c2fc59e8a56239859aa3\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"442\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Stocks fell for a fifth day as disappointing results from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley added to growth worries. Earlier this week, a hotter-than-expected inflation reading prompted traders to bet on faster rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, driving the spread over 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields deeper into an inversion, a widely followed signal for a potential recession.</p><p>The S&P 500 dropped 2.1% earlier Thursday before erasing most of the loss to close at 3,790.38. Since reaching its 2022 low of 3,666.77 in mid-June, the index has been fluctuating within a 250-point band.</p><p>Unlike the Treasury market, where option activity has shown heightened angst not seen since the pandemic crisis, the mood in equities is more sanguine. The Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, has yet to take out its March peak even as stock losses kept worsening, a sign that many market watchers consider as a lack of panic.</p><p>“There is some existential sense that VIX should be sharply higher because investor sentiment is bad and getting worse,” said Steven Sears, president of Options Solutions. “Options expiration always intrigues market watchers like reading tea leaves fascinates fortune tellers.”</p><p>Among expiring options contracts linked to the S&P 500, the strike price of 4,000 has garnered the highest open interest, based on data compiled by Bloomberg. Yet to Brent Kochuba, founder of analytic service SpotGamma, the level of 3,800 is more significant, as it’s closer to where the index sits. Right now, 24,195 calls and 35,528 puts are set to run out at that strike.</p><p>By one measure, the cost of hedging is rather suppressed. The skew for the S&P 500, which compare the relative costs of puts versus calls, has hovered around a three-year low, data compiled by Bloomberg show.</p><p>“We remain of the opinion that markets won’t bounce until there is more clear guidance in terms of rates, and the earliest that could be offered is FOMC,” Kochuba said, referring to the Fed’s next policy meeting on July 27. “If markets do wade lower here, it could force a rather nasty put buying (both long & cover) which could compound volatility.”</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>A $1.9 Trillion Options Expiration Is Crucial Moment for Stock Hedgers</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nA $1.9 Trillion Options Expiration Is Crucial Moment for Stock Hedgers\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-15 07:20 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-14/a-1-9-trillion-options-expiration-is-crucial-moment-for-hedgers><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>VIX, skew show lack of demand for protection near market lowA breakdown seen spurring put buying that compounds volatilityAs if another inflation shock and earnings drama at big banks weren’t enough ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-14/a-1-9-trillion-options-expiration-is-crucial-moment-for-hedgers\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-14/a-1-9-trillion-options-expiration-is-crucial-moment-for-hedgers","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1175779221","content_text":"VIX, skew show lack of demand for protection near market lowA breakdown seen spurring put buying that compounds volatilityAs if another inflation shock and earnings drama at big banks weren’t enough for stock investors, Friday brings a critical moment where many option traders must decide their next move on hedging.About $1.9 trillion of options are set to expire, obliging investors to either roll over existing positions or start new ones.

The decision of whether to renew hedges is a complicated one for professional speculators.“A lot of investors and traders have been in cash, or higher cash than they were at the beginning of year and so have less of a need to hedge,” said Michael Purves, founder of Tallbacken Capital Advisors. “A lot has been priced in.”With daily options volume heading for an annual record, the expiration is a widely watched event on Wall Street. Moves in the derivative market have the capacity to spur gyrations in underlying securities. There are signs that demand for options hedging is waning as money managers have cut their equity exposure and some opted for other ways such as index shorting for protection during the rout.Stocks fell for a fifth day as disappointing results from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley added to growth worries. Earlier this week, a hotter-than-expected inflation reading prompted traders to bet on faster rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, driving the spread over 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields deeper into an inversion, a widely followed signal for a potential recession.The S&P 500 dropped 2.1% earlier Thursday before erasing most of the loss to close at 3,790.38. Since reaching its 2022 low of 3,666.77 in mid-June, the index has been fluctuating within a 250-point band.Unlike the Treasury market, where option activity has shown heightened angst not seen since the pandemic crisis, the mood in equities is more sanguine. The Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, has yet to take out its March peak even as stock losses kept worsening, a sign that many market watchers consider as a lack of panic.“There is some existential sense that VIX should be sharply higher because investor sentiment is bad and getting worse,” said Steven Sears, president of Options Solutions. “Options expiration always intrigues market watchers like reading tea leaves fascinates fortune tellers.”Among expiring options contracts linked to the S&P 500, the strike price of 4,000 has garnered the highest open interest, based on data compiled by Bloomberg. Yet to Brent Kochuba, founder of analytic service SpotGamma, the level of 3,800 is more significant, as it’s closer to where the index sits. Right now, 24,195 calls and 35,528 puts are set to run out at that strike.By one measure, the cost of hedging is rather suppressed. The skew for the S&P 500, which compare the relative costs of puts versus calls, has hovered around a three-year low, data compiled by Bloomberg show.“We remain of the opinion that markets won’t bounce until there is more clear guidance in terms of rates, and the earliest that could be offered is FOMC,” Kochuba said, referring to the Fed’s next policy meeting on July 27. “If markets do wade lower here, it could force a rather nasty put buying (both long & cover) which could compound volatility.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":34,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9004040096,"gmtCreate":1642463841660,"gmtModify":1676533712243,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like ","listText":"Like ","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9004040096","repostId":"2204077133","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2204077133","pubTimestamp":1642462076,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2204077133?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-18 07:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Earnings Season in Full Swing, Fed Blackout Period: What to Know This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2204077133","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"Earnings season is heating up this week.Even with one fewer trading day, markets are closed in obser","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Earnings season is heating up this week.</p><p>Even with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> fewer trading day, markets are closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day Monday, investors will come back from the holiday weekend to a prolific lineup of fourth quarter reports from market heavyweights such as Goldman Sachs (GS), Proctor & Gamble (PG), Netflix (NFLX) and United Airlines (UAL).

But even though smart investors separate gambling from investing, the odds that these two ETFs will produce meaningful long-term gains are in an investor's favor and make for great Buffett-supported investments for the long haul.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":57,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9039175445,"gmtCreate":1645981077353,"gmtModify":1676534079137,"author":{"id":"3576279418760291","authorId":"3576279418760291","name":"William C","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb9f11370915ffd45c2c37d8b0d22d50","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576279418760291","authorIdStr":"3576279418760291"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like ","listText":"Like ","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9039175445","repostId":"1125580913","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1125580913","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1645926503,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1125580913?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-27 09:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Buffett Full Annual Letter:Apple is One of ‘Four Giants’ Driving the Conglomerate’s Value","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1125580913","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Warren Buffett released his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders on Saturday. The 91-yea","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Warren Buffett released his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders on Saturday. The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.</p><p>Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.</p><p>In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.</p><p>“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.</p><p>Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.</p><p>“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><b>Read the full letter here:</b></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.</p><p>Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.</p><p>Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2><p>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2><p>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )</p><p>BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.</p><p>• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.</p><p>To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.</p><h2>Investments</h2><p>Now let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2><p>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2><p>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2><p>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2><p>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><h2>Thanks</h2><p>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.</p><p>Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.</p><p>I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction working</p><p>for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.</p><p>Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.</p><p>To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.</p><p>Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.</p><p>Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”</p><h2>The Annual Meeting</h2><p>Clear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.</p><p>I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.</p><p>February 26, 2022</p><p>Warren E.

The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.</p><p>Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.</p><p>In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.</p><p>“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.</p><p>Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.</p><p>“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><b>Read the full letter here:</b></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.</p><p>Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.</p><p>Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2><p>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2><p>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )</p><p>BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.</p><p>• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.</p><p>To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.</p><h2>Investments</h2><p>Now let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2><p>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2><p>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2><p>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2><p>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><h2>Thanks</h2><p>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.</p><p>Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.</p><p>I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction working</p><p>for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.</p><p>Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.</p><p>To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.</p><p>Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.</p><p>Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”</p><h2>The Annual Meeting</h2><p>Clear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.</p><p>I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.</p><p>February 26, 2022</p><p>Warren E.

The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”Read the full letter here:To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.What You OwnBerkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.Surprise, SurpriseHere are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.Our Four GiantsThrough Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.InvestmentsNow let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.U.S. Treasury BillsBerkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.But $144 billion?That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.Share RepurchasesThere are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful BusinessLast year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.In all ways, Paul was a class act.* * * * * * * * * * * *Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.ThanksI taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction workingfor you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”The Annual MeetingClear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.February 26, 2022Warren E.

Still, Wall Street analysts are quite bullish on all three, which begs the question: Should you follow Wall Street's lead and buy the dip on these stock split stocks?</p><h2>Palo Alto Networks is a global leader in cybersecurity</h2><p><b>Anthony Di Pizio</b> <b>(Palo Alto Networks):</b> Palo Alto Networks' stock price hit a 52-week low of $140.52 in May, and while it has since bounced to $184.37, Wall Street investment bank <b>Morgan Stanley</b> is betting it could soar to $274.33. That represents an upside of 49% from where it trades today. If it gets there, that would also be a tidy gain of 95% from its 52-week low.</p><p>Why is Morgan Stanley so bullish? Well, Palo Alto recently reported an incredibly strong financial performance for its fiscal 2022, which ended July 31, even in the face of the economic slowdown. Its $5.5 billion in revenue was a 29% jump compared to its fiscal 2021. What's more, Palo Alto's remaining performance obligations soared by 40% to $8.2 billion, which suggests a revenue growth acceleration might be on the horizon.</p><p>This is all because cybersecurity isn't something companies want -- it's something they absolutely need. As businesses shift more of their operations online using cloud technology, their attack surface continues to grow, which means they need more intuitive forms of protection for their valuable digital assets. In fact, a recent survey of company leaders conducted by Morgan Stanley suggested that organizations would have almost no appetite for cutting back on cybersecurity spending, even during a recession.</p><p>Since Palo Alto is an industry leader in 11 cybersecurity categories, it's no surprise it has a huge roster of large customers. At the end of its fiscal 2022, 1,240 of its clients were spending $1 million or more annually on its products and services.</p><p>Management's guidance for fiscal 2023 points to more strength, with revenue expected to rise by as much as 25% to $6.9 billion. While that would be a marginal slowdown compared to fiscal 2022's growth rate, it's still significantly faster than the cybersecurity industry's growth rate of 14%.</p><h2>Shopify could lead the e-commerce recovery</h2><p><b>Jamie Louko</b> <b>(Shopify):</b> RBC Capital's Paul Treiber has put a 12-month price target of $60 on Shopify, implying 101% growth from Shopify's 52-week low of $29.84. This is undoubtedly optimistic, and it would constitute a stellar performance.</p><p>There are a few reasons Treiber might be so bullish. First, Shopify has plummeted, bringing what was once a highly valued stock down to a relatively low valuation. It trades at 8.3 times sales -- nearly its lowest valuation since going public in 2015. Right now, shares of Shopify are also trading closer to its all-time low valuation than to its average multiple over its life as a public company.</p><p>Shopify has experienced some short-term pain, but its long-term future still looks bright. Recession fears have spooked investors about the e-commerce space, and that makes sense: As consumer budgets tighten, shoppers will likely spend less on discretionary goods like those sold by many e-commerce merchants. That said, the long-term future of e-commerce adoption looks good. By 2024, e-commerce is expected to represent 22% of global retail sales. That's an increase from 18% in 2020.</p><p>Considering that Shopify is one of the leading platforms for small businesses to create and grow their online operations, the company is well-placed to capitalize on that expected expansion. Millions of businesses worldwide use its platform, and Shopify merchants accounted for more than 10% of all U.S. retail e-commerce sales in 2021. Shopify facilitated almost $47 billion in gross merchandise volume in the second quarter of 2022 alone.</p><p>Treiber also might like Shopify because of its high switching costs. The company offers nearly everything a merchant might need, from point-of-sale solutions to payment processing to capital loans. It has even started offering fulfillment services, where Shopify handles all the shipping and returns logistics for its merchants. Once a client begins to rely on all these tools, it can be tough to leave the ecosystem. Therefore, there's a good chance Shopify's merchant count will continue to grow, even during this precarious time for e-commerce businesses.</p><h2>Self-driving cars and autonomous robots</h2><p><b>Trevor Jennewine (Tesla):</b> Emmanuel Rosner of <b>Deutsche Bank</b> recently reiterated his buy rating on Tesla stock, and his split-adjusted price target of $375 per share implies an upside of 81% from its 52-week low and an upside of 29% from its current price.</p><p>Tesla is not a typical automaker. It's not even a typical electric car company. Instead, CEO Elon Musk sees it as an artificial intelligence and robotics company that makes electric cars. So, while the global electric car market is on pace to hit $802 billion by 2027, Tesla sits in front of a much larger opportunity. That said, electric cars are still a critical part of the equation, and Tesla has evolved from pioneer to market leader.</p><p>In the second quarter, Tesla accounted for 19% of battery electric car sales worldwide, easily topping the 11% market share held by runner-up <b>BYD</b>. That dominance naturally fueled strong top-line growth -- Tesla's trailing-12-month revenue skyrocketed by 60% over the past year to $67.2 billion -- but the company has also become a paragon of manufacturing efficiency. In fact, Tesla achieved an industry-leading operating margin of 16.2% over the past year, which sent its free cash flow soaring by 165% to $6.9 billion.</p><p>However, Musk believes that full self-driving software will eventually be the primary source of profitability for Tesla's car business, and the company arguably has an edge over other automakers when it comes to autonomous cars. Specifically, its fleet of autopilot-enabled cars has collected more than 35 million miles worth of autonomous driving data -- more than any other automaker -- and data is the cornerstone of artificial intelligence projects. With that in mind, Musk believes Tesla will "solve" full self-driving this year, and he plans for the company to start building robotaxis in 2024.</p><p>Assuming all goes according to plan, Tesla could launch an autonomous ride-hailing service shortly thereafter, and that would fundamentally change its business. <b>UBS Group</b> analysts believe the robotaxi market will be worth north of $2 trillion by 2030, and an Ark Invest white paper predicts autonomous ride-hailing platforms could earn $2 trillion in profits by 2030. Those estimates may be ambitious, but the big picture is clear: Tesla's market opportunity is set to expand dramatically, and its transition into software and services could turbocharge its margins.</p><p>Despite a valuation of 14.9 times sales that would traditionally be viewed as pricey, patient investors should seriously consider buying a few shares of this growth stock.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stock-Split Stocks Set to Soar by as Much as 101% From Their 52-Week Lows, According to Wall Street</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Stock-Split Stocks Set to Soar by as Much as 101% From Their 52-Week Lows, According to Wall Street\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-18 07:32 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/17/3-stock-split-stocks-soar-101-52-week-wall-street/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSPalo Alto Networks leads the cybersecurity industry in 11 different categories, and services in that space are in high demand.Shares of e-commerce giant Shopify could be the top performer of...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/17/3-stock-split-stocks-soar-101-52-week-wall-street/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PANW":"Palo Alto Networks","SHOP":"Shopify Inc","TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/17/3-stock-split-stocks-soar-101-52-week-wall-street/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1179022137","content_text":"KEY POINTSPalo Alto Networks leads the cybersecurity industry in 11 different categories, and services in that space are in high demand.Shares of e-commerce giant Shopify could be the top performer of this bunch, with a potential upside of 101% over the next year.Tesla is positioning itself to become more than just an electric vehicle producer.If just two themes have defined the stock market in 2022, those themes would be stock splits and the bear market.

The Cboe equity put-call ratio’s 10-day average hovered near a four-month low, a sign of growing interest in upside wagers.Traders will try to push the S&P 500 toward 4,300 in order to get their options contracts to pay off, according to Brent Kochuba, founder of analytic service SpotGamma. Any failure to hit this threshold would suggest the latest rally is losing momentum, potentially inviting sellers. The index added 0.2% to close at 4,283.74 Thursday.“Everyone is on the ‘call side’ of the boat,” said Kochuba.Charlie McElligott, a cross-asset strategist at Nomura Securities International, expects Friday’s OpEx to open the door for bigger price swings after the buffer from dealer hedging is reduced. He sees potential for the market to move in either direction.Should inflation come in hotter than expected and Fed policy makers ratchet up their hawkish rhetoric, that’d trigger turmoil across assets, he says. On the other hand, barring any negative macro shocks, money managers are under pressure to keep chasing the rally given their relatively low equity positioning.“My daily communications with clients continues to ‘hate’ this rally who remain wrong-sided and a source of ‘buyers higher,’” he wrote in a note Wednesday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":22,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
