Warren Buffett Has $90 Billion Invested in These 9 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks. Here's the Best of the Bunch.

Warren Buffett readily admits that he doesn't understand artificial intelligence (AI). He has also said that he won't invest in businesses that he understands. So, does that mean the legendary investor doesn't own any AI stocks? Nope. Actually, Buffett has invested roughly $90 billion in nine companies that are heavily focused on AI. Here they are -- and which one is the best of the bunch. AI stocks in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) ranks as the largest holding in Berkshire Hathaway 's (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) portfolio. Berkshire's stake in the iPhone maker is valued at close to $59.3 billion. Although Buffett significantly reduced the conglomerate's position in Apple last year, it still makes up 21% of Berkshire's total portfolio. AI has been at the forefront of Apple's development strategy for years. However, the company was seemingly left behind in the generative AI race until it launched Apple Intelligence in 2024. So far, though, Apple Intelligence doesn't appear to be igniting the super-cycle of iPhone upgrades that some analysts predicted. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is another top AI stock in Berkshire's portfolio, albeit a much smaller one. Berkshire owns around $2.1 billion of the e-commerce and cloud service giant's shares. Buffett didn't make the initial decision to buy Amazon; one of Berkshire's other investment managers (either Todd Combs or Ted Weschler) bought the stock. Most AI models run in the cloud. As the largest cloud services provider in the world, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been a big winner as organizations scrambled to build and deploy AI models in the cloud. Amazon is also using AI extensively internally to increase efficiency and provide more services to customers. AI stocks in Buffett's "secret portfolio" Apple and Amazon are the only AI stocks owned directly by Berkshire Hathaway. But I said that Buffett owned nine AI stocks. Where are the other seven? In Buffett's "secret portfolio." General Reinsurance acquired New England Asset Management (NEAM) in 1995. Three years later, Berkshire Hathaway acquired General Re. NEAM continues to manage investments for insurance companies. Its holdings don't show up in Berkshire Hathaway's regulatory filings, but any stock owned by NEAM is also owned by Buffett. Apple is the only AI stock in both Berkshire's and NEAM's portfolios. NEAM owns two other so-called "Magnificent Seven" stocks -- Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). Like Amazon, both Alphabet and Microsoft are major cloud service providers and are profiting from the strong AI tailwind. NEAM also has stakes in a couple of tech pioneers that are investing heavily in AI. IBM (NYSE: IBM) made headlines in the past with the success of its Watson AI technology. Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) isn't exactly a shining star in the AI world. However, the company makes edge AI products (AI deployed on local devices) and is working with Nvidia to develop power management and sensing technologies for data centers. The stocks of three AI chipmakers are also in NEAM's portfolio. Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) manufactures AI products, including Ethernet switches designed to accelerate AI workloads and custom AI accelerators. NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ: NXPI) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) sell products that support edge AI. The best of the bunch If you're an income investor, Texas Instruments is probably the best pick among Buffett's nine AI stocks. Its forward dividend yield stands at 2.73%. Alphabet is arguably the most attractively valued AI stock in the group, with growth prospects factored in. The Google parent's price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is 1.36. I think the best Buffett AI stock all-around, though, is Amazon. The company is poised to profit as more organizations move their apps and data to the cloud. It still has significant growth prospects in e-commerce as well. Amazon is also expanding into new markets, including healthcare, autonomous ride-hailing, and satellite internet services.

Billionaire Bill Ackman Just Joined Warren Buffett and Cathie Wood by Adding This Monster Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock to His Portfolio

Bill Ackman is a billionaire hedge fund manager as CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management. Unlike many of his peers on Wall Street, Ackman primarily keeps a tightly concentrated portfolio, with Pershing Square owning only about 10 stocks at any given time. For the last couple of years, Pershing Square's most direct artificial intelligence (AI) investment has been a sizable position in Alphabet. Ackman has made it clear that its diversified ecosystem -- spanning internet search, cloud computing, advertising, cybersecurity, and more -- combined with an attractive valuation is what enticed Pershing Square to take a position in the "Magnificent Seven" member. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Well, just a few weeks ago, news broke that Pershing Square had recently initiated a position in another AI stock, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). Ackman now joins Warren Buffett, whom he is known to admire, and Cathie Wood as prominent personalities on Wall Street who have exposure to Amazon, through their respective portfolios at Berkshire Hathaway and ARK Invest. Let's explore what makes Amazon such a compelling AI stock for the long haul. I'll break down some trends in the business and the company's valuation to help explain why Amazon has earned the approval of Ackman, Buffett, and Wood. Amazon has a compelling AI narrative and... Given how hot AI has become, investors may be challenged to identify which opportunities are best suited for long-term positions. What I mean by that is while semiconductor stocks or AI software businesses have risen in popularity over the last couple of years, it's hard to know which of these companies will continue to be a market leader in 10 years (or longer). To me, Amazon is like the business version of a Swiss Army knife. The company's core segments are e-commerce and cloud computing infrastructure via Amazon Web Services (AWS). But it also has a thriving advertising business and a growing subscription service (Amazon Prime), and it has even made some progress in the streaming and entertainment landscape. Similar to Alphabet, Amazon is uniquely positioned to stitch its various operating units together through more AI-powered services. In essence, by leveraging the power of AI, it can bolster both the consumer and enterprise sides of its business and make the platform increasingly sticky for its customers. ... the company's investments are already bearing fruit While the ideas above sound great in theory, let's explore how the business has performed over the last couple of years since it started investing aggressively in AI. The first headline-grabbing move it made in AI was its investment in OpenAI rival Anthropic. The thesis around this partnership was to train Anthropic's generative AI model on AWS -- essentially integrating the efficiency of large language models into the AWS platform. Anthropic also agreed to use Amazon's in-house Trainium and Inferentia chipsets, providing the company with a direct avenue to begin scaling up a new part of its existing hardware business. Since Anthropic joined forces with Amazon, AWS revenue has accelerated considerably. But more important, operating income from Amazon's cloud business has almost doubled! AMZN Cash from Operations (TTM) data by YCharts; TTM = trailing 12 months. When you consider that Amazon's AI-driven growth is primarily sourced through just the cloud business right now, it becomes clearer that the company can leverage its robust profitability to reinvest in other areas of its business and jump-start those, too. I think that comes into focus as Wall Street's consensus revenue and earnings estimates over the next few years suggest there is much more growth ahead. AMZN Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Year, data by YCharts; EPS = earnings per share. Is Amazon a buy right now? Like many of its peers in the technology sector, Amazon has enjoyed a bit of a roller coaster ride so far this year. Shares bottomed at roughly $167 in April, which is likely when Ackman pounced. I say that because Pershing Square's position in Amazon was not included in the company's form 13F filing for the first quarter (ended March 31). If you had bought the dip in Amazon when Ackman did, you would have paid around 27 times forward earnings. AMZN PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts; PE = price to earnings. Among the 70 analysts who cover the stock, 66 rate it as either a buy or strong buy. Furthermore, with an average price target of $239, Wall Street's estimates imply there is still some modest upside. While Amazon's valuation has expanded over the last month and a half, the company's long-run prospects and added AI-centric uses still make it a reasonable buy in my view. Should you invest $1,000 in Amazon right now? Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Apple (AAPL) Eyes Spring 2026 for Long-Awaited Siri AI Overhaul

Apple (AAPL) is reportedly targeting spring 2026 for the launch of its long-anticipated Siri AI upgrade, signaling a major leap forward in the company's AI (artificial intelligence) ambitions. The overhaul is expected to enhance Siri's capabilities, aligning it with the next generation of AI-powered digital assistants and boosting Apple's competitive edge in the fast-evolving tech landscape. Confident Investing Starts Here: Will It Be Worth the Wait? According to Bloomberg, Apple's Siri team is planning to roll out the redesigned voice assistant with the iOS 26.4 update. Citing sources familiar with the project, the report says the upgrade will enable Siri to tap into users' data and on-screen context, significantly improving how it understands and responds to user requests. However, Apple hasn't officially confirmed a specific release date for the new Siri features. The company reiterated its earlier message that the enhancements are expected to roll out over the coming year. The timeline remains flexible and could change if any new issues arise. According to one source, if development progresses smoothly in the coming weeks, Apple might preview the updated Siri features during the iPhone launch event this fall. However, no final decision has been made yet. Apple Risks Losing Ground in AI Assistant Race Apple's delay of key Siri AI enhancements to 2026 marks a setback in the fast-moving AI race. While rivals like Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOGL) are rapidly rolling out advanced AI features in their voice assistants, Apple's slower timeline risks leaving it behind in the competitive landscape. The long-overdue Siri upgrade was first unveiled at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June last year. The goal was to revamp the aging voice assistant, launched back in 2011, which has struggled to keep up with modern AI chatbots and tools. Interestingly, Apple's AI engineering and marketing teams are pointing fingers at one another. Engineers claim marketing overhyped Siri's AI capabilities, while marketing argues it relied on timelines provided by the AI team. Is Apple a Good Stock to Buy Now? Turning to Wall Street, AAPL stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating on TipRanks based on 16 Buys, nine Holds, and four Sells assigned in the last three months. The average Apple share price target of $226.94 implies a 14% upside potential. See more AAPL analyst ratings
