Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.B) is facing a pivotal moment following Warren Buffett's retirement, which has raised concerns among investors about its future performance. Experts highlight the company's strong portfolio of diverse businesses, particularly in insurance, but also note challenges such as competitive pricing pressures and a low-interest-rate environment impacting income. The new CEO, Greg Abel, has been praised for his operational capabilities, but uncertainty remains about how he will navigate the company post-Buffett. While some analysts recommend holding the stock for the long term due to its defensive nature and significant cash reserves, others express caution over potential underperformance compared to the S&P 500. Overall, BRK.B is viewed as a solid long-term investment, though its growth may not match historical highs.

BUY
It's the perfect chart with the right people running it. He could buy this stock anytime. This applies to both the A and B stocks.
BUY
A lot of cash on the balance sheet, so by default you're going to underperform. To bet against Warren Buffet is a bad bet. There's a lot worse to own than this. Positive view. Good value in the long run. He prefers to own the individual parts.
COMMENT
Undervalued or properly valued? The problem is that investors focus on Buffet's stock investments, but they make up only a small part of the overall company. Buffet realized that he must look outside equities and buy companies, which he did and did it well. The stock is fairly valued. People focus too much that his stocks have undervalued in recent years. It's more important how Buffet runs his core businesses--that's the value of the company. In terms of sucession planning, no one is more brilliant than Buffet in running Berkshire. After he passes away, there may be fewer acquisitions.
DON'T BUY
Warren and Charlie are both long in the tooth. When one of them passes, he expects the stock could take a big hit. With a recession in the wind, this will get hit. He would be wary.
DON'T BUY
What if one of the principles doesn't wake up in the morning. What happens to the company. It is such a tough call so he is not in the stock.
TOP PICK
It's a trade. It's market-sensitive and rangebound. He's buying around $195 and targets $220. Buy it around $200. It may or may not break-out. (Analysts’ price target is $241.25)
HOLD
Warren Buffet is still the best investor of all time. However, it has become too big to have investments move the needle. A good blue-chip holding, but don't expect it to out perform the market.
BUY
They've underperformed for 10 years, but this could be a defensive--or value--play. Buffett has a war chest of $120 billion, probably waiting to spend it during the next recession. Great managers. They can ride out any economic weakness.
SELL

Berkshire vs VISA. Not really the same businesses. Berkshire owns a ton of VISA and Mastercard. He is worried about the continuity of the business. He would like to see them pay a dividend. Ultra expensive stock. He owns VISA which has been a performer for many years. Holds some Berkshire but would probably be a sell at this point.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 24/19, Up 6%) A slow-moving stock. At $220 it will hit resistance, but it has momentum and will go higher.
HOLD
Assets and liabilities don't add up? The company owns a lot of different businesses. They only report on things they own 100% of. Investors buy this to follow the success of Warren Buffet. The stock performance has lagged the market as it is harder to grow at the size the company has become. He would continue to hold it, if you own it.
TOP PICK
Suffering along with retailers. A rare test of support, and it holds every time it does that. 10% upside. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $241.25)
COMMENT
Warren Buffett has been criticise in the last little while because his equity portfolio has underperformed the S&P500. Part of that reason is that Berkshire is such a large company now it's hard for them to make a difference. Berkshire is a lot more than Coke and JP Morgan. It's insurance business, utility business, other businesses they've bought such as Burlington Northern, those are things that create value within the company. Thinks people focus a lot on his investments stuff and that's a much more difficult thing. He likes it. Doesn't think they will pay a dividend but they might buyback more shares.
BUY
There are times when Warren got a little cold. He likes the way he pivots. It makes a lot of sense long-term. Generally speaking they know what they are doing.
COMMENT
He prefers Fairfax, run by the Canadian Warren Buffet. He really likes their India fund, FIH-T. Berkshire is not a bad choice and should do well if there's market stimulus, but look at Asia for market growth. Only 5% of Indian homes have home insurance, so there's massive room for growth here. If there's a currency shift, then the Asian exposure is a plus.
