5 Stocks Warren Buffett Has Bought So Far in 2025
Warren Buffett is the most prolific investor of the last 50 years. His holding company — Berkshire Hathaway — has outperformed the S&P 500 since the 90s and Buffett always has a keen eye for buying good companies at reasonable prices. Trending Now: Check Out: While Buffett has been a net seller of stocks over the last few years, he has spent a few billion picking up stocks that he finds attractive for his portfolio. Below are five stocks that Buffett recently invested in. Also here are seven stocks Buffett has sold so far this year. Constellation Brands Inc. (STZ) Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway added to their position in Constellation Brands (STZ) in Q1 2025, with a total investment worth over $1 billion at this point. The alcohol importer that owns famous brands like Corona, Modelo and Robert Mondavi Winery. While STZ stock has performed poorly due to news of import tariffs, it still holds a majority of the Mexican import market in the U.S., according to Yahoo Finance. Constellation Brands is starting to include more non-alcoholic options to meet the growing demand, which could boost profit. This is a typical Buffett value stock pick and could be poised for growth in 2025 and beyond. See Next: Pool Corp. (POOL) Pool Corporation is the world's leading distributor of pool supplies and other outdoor products. Pool demand spiked in 2020 during lockdowns and now these newly installed pools need parts and maintenance items, making POOL an in-demand company. Buffett's holding company added to their position, buying more POOL stock in Q1 of 2025, with holdings totaling near $450 million. Another stock that has dropped heavily as new pool installation demand waned post-pandemic, but Buffett now sees the company as a value hold. Domino's Pizza Inc. (DPZ) Dominos Pizza (DPZ) is the largest pizza chain in the world and Buffett has picked up his own slice of DPZ starting in 2024 and as recently as Q1 2025. While DPZ stock has dropped over 14% since mid-2024 due to labor costs and missing revenue forecasts (per Yahoo Finance), the company continues to churn out pizza all over the world. Domino's earnings reports have missed expectations recently, but the stock price continues to hold steady. Buffett most likely sees this as a value investment opportunity and continues to scoop up shares when the price is right. Sirius XM (SIRI) Sirius XM is a satellite radio provider that Buffett owns nearly 35% of — probably because he's a fan of dividend stocks. SIRI currently pays over a 5% dividend to shareholders and Buffett added to his position in Q1 2025 for a total of about $2.7 billion in SIRI holdings. Sirius XM has suffered a massive price drop in recent years, with stock prices nearly cut by 60% since 2022. Its profit has dropped in recent years, but Buffett probably enjoys the dividend along with a low price-to-earnings ratio (P/E), making it an attractive buy. Heico Corp (HEI) Heico Corp is an aircraft and defensive system parts company that Buffett started investing in in late 2024 and added to his position in early 2025. With global conflict and tensions rising, Heico has grown in profit and continues to exceed analyst expectations. The stock is up 32% in 2025 alone, per Yahoo Finance, meaning Buffett has already seen a handsome profit. HEI is poised to continue growing and Buffett seems to be on board for the ride. Other Investment Considerations Buffett also added to his positions in a few other companies in his most recent 13F filing. Occidental Petroleum (OXY): Buffett is a fan of OXY — an oil and gas company — and Berkshire Hathaway owns nearly 30% of the company. He even stated in a recent shareholder letter they might own the stock forever. Verisign (VERI): While Buffett recently reduced their position in Verisign to get below 10% ownership for regulatory reasons, they still own over 9% of the company and added to their position in Q1 2025. Verisign has seen steady growth and a lower price-to-earnings ratio than many other stocks on this list, per Morning Star.

Trump Warns ‘There Will Be Severe Consequences' If his Alaska Meeting with Putin Goes Wrong: How Will Stocks & Crypto React?
Donald Trump just made a shocking statement on the White House's official YouTube page that 'there will be severe consequences' if his meeting with Vladimir Putin goes wrong. The meeting is scheduled for August 15, 2025, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, where the two leaders will finally meet face to face. This warning has injected tension into the markets, with investors on edge about how political fallout could ripple into economics.

The White House has tried to keep expectations low. The representatives called the summit a 'listening exercise.' But the tone of Trump's remarks suggests that a single misstep could trigger a broad market reaction. Investors Must Note that Stocks Are Now Poised for Volatility Stocks tend to pull back when geopolitical risks rise. If this meeting falters, defensive sectors like gold (CM:XAUUSD), utilities, and defense contractors could see buying interest. On the other hand, indices such as the S&P 500 (SPX), Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average may slide as investors pull back from growth shares tied to global stability. Even a minor diplomatic rift can have outsized effects on sentiment. With such high stakes, volatility could spike in the short term, even if markets stabilize later. Crypto Markets May Be Caught in the Crossfire Cryptocurrencies are typically viewed as high-risk assets that climb in confidence and fall with it. If global tensions escalate, we may see sharp crypto sell-offs. Those looking for stability may move toward safer tokens or stablecoins. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has already dropped more than 4% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum (ETH-USD) has fallen almost 5% in the same period, which may be partly due to traders taking profits after its recent rally, but the added layer of geopolitical risk has amplified the decline. At the same time, some see crypto as a hedge. If investors believe central banks or governments may react unpredictably, digital assets could draw interest as an alternative store of value. Ultimately, crypto flows will depend on how the meeting unfolds. Trump's Alaska summit illustrates how geopolitical moves now have instant economic repercussions. A strong outcome could spark buying across asset classes. A misdirected approach could reset global risk appetite overnight. Investors can also monitor how Trump's statements might move the market using TipRanks' Trump News & Truth Social Market Impact dashboard. The tool tracks his latest Truth Social (DJT) posts, gives them a sentiment score, and shows how they could influence stocks and sectors. This can be useful ahead of high-stakes events like his meeting with Putin, as it allows traders to spot potential shifts in sentiment and position early.

Cardano Analyst Predicts '100–150% Massive Bullish Rally' as Holders Show Record Confidence
Cardano's (ADA-USD) price has finally broken free from months of sideways trading. Analyst Clifton Fx says the move confirms a bull flag breakout on the three-day chart. This pattern often signals strong upside ahead. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The rally started from the lower end of the trendline and has now pushed ADA above key resistance levels. According to Clifton Fx, if momentum holds, Cardano could rise between 100% and 150% in the coming weeks. That would put the price in the $1.60–$1.75 range, levels last reached in early 2024. The breakout comes with ADA up 20% in the past 24 hours, reaching $0.99, its highest point in five months. This puts the token among the top performers in the altcoin market right now. Traders Set Sights on Key ADA Price Targets Cardano's rally has caught the attention of a lot of people. Trader_Jibon predicts ADA will first reclaim its November high near $1.32. After that, the target would shift toward the mid-2022 peak of $1.63. These targets line up closely with Clifton Fx's projections. If ADA can hold above new support, the move toward $1.60–$1.75 could play out faster than expected. Long-Term ADA Holders Strengthen the Bullish Case Confidence among long-term ADA holders has reached record highs. Data from TapTools shows 15 billion ADA has not moved for more than a year. This suggests reduced selling pressure, which can give rallies more room to run. At the same time, retail interest is picking up. Google searches for 'Cardano' have hit a five-month peak. Searches for 'altcoin' are at their highest since 2021. Historically, similar spikes have happened during major shifts of capital from Bitcoin into altcoins, such as the ICO surge of 2018 and the DeFi-NFT boom of 2021. The rally in ADA is part of a broader altcoin market surge. Many traders believe an 'altcoin season,' when alternative cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin, is starting to take shape. If that trend continues, and long-term holders keep their grip on ADA, Cardano could be in position for the type of explosive rally its chart patterns are now signaling. At the time of writing, ADA is sitting at $0.9135.
