This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Isn't in Warren Buffett's Portfolio -- but It Follows His Rules
Warren Buffett's simple investing strategy has steered Berkshire Hathaway to market-beating returns for six decades. Buffett rarely invests in tech stocks, but he has made some exceptions for quality names like Apple and Amazon. There is another tech giant ticking almost all of Buffett's boxes right now, and it's a clear leader in the AI industry. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › In May, Warren Buffett announced that he plans to step down from his role as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) at the end of 2025. It will cap off a spectacular run of success that dates back to 1965 -- though his journey isn't over completely, because he will continue to serve as chairman of Berkshire's board. Had you invested $1,000 in Berkshire stock when Buffett took the helm 60 years ago and held on for that entire time, you'd have been sitting on shares worth an eye-popping $44.7 million at the end of 2024. The same investment in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index would have grown to just $342,906 over the same period. Part of that growth came from the dozens of businesses that the conglomerate purchased in their entirety over the years, but the rest was driven by the incredible stock-picking of Buffett and his team. Buffett uses a simple strategy, and as a general rule, he tends to avoid buying shares of companies whose businesses he doesn't understand. As a result, he doesn't invest in technology stocks very often, and he certainly doesn't chase hot trends like artificial intelligence (AI). However, there is one AI stock that could be a great fit in Berkshire's portfolio because it meets most of Buffett's investment criteria, and he has even expressed regret for not investing in it during its early years. Buffett is a value investor who likes to buy good companies when they are trading cheap, but he doesn't shy away from picking up shares of spectacular companies at a fair price. When considering a potential investment, Buffett looks for companies with steady growth, reliable profitability, and strong management teams. He also likes companies that return money to shareholders through dividends and stock buyback programs. But time is Buffett's most important weapon because compound growth amplifies his results over the long term -- he has often been quoted as saying his preferred holding period is forever. Buffett oversees numerous wholly owned Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries, including Duracell, Dairy Queen, and GEICO Insurance. But he also helps manage its portfolio of publicly traded stocks and securities, which currently includes holdings in 38 companies and is worth around $278 billion today. As I mentioned earlier, he generally avoids technology stocks like those in the "Magnificent Seven," but he has made exceptions. Between 2016 and 2023, Buffett plowed approximately $38 billion into Apple, which was the most money Berkshire had ever invested in any single company. He views Apple as a consumer products company rather than a tech company, and he often commends the strength of its brand. Plus, the iPhone maker repurchased more than $100 billion worth of its own stock in the past year alone, and it also pays a modest dividend. Berkshire also has a small $2.1 billion position in another Magnificent Seven name: Amazon. Though it has a track record of growing its top and bottom lines nicely, Amazon isn't the perfect Buffett stock because the company doesn't pay a dividend, and it hasn't executed any buybacks since 2022. Plus, the stock isn't exactly cheap. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) is another Magnificent Seven technology stock that could be a great fit for Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. It's the parent company of Google, YouTube, Waymo, and more, and it has most of the qualities Buffett normally looks for in an investment. First, Alphabet has a spectacular long-term track record of growing its revenue and earnings per share (EPS). Second, Alphabet is returning significant sums of money to shareholders. Over the last four quarters alone, it distributed $9.8 billion in dividends and completed more than $61 billion worth of share buybacks. Third, Alphabet has a strong and stable management team led by Sundar Pichai, who joined the company in 2004 and has served as its CEO since 2015. Plus, Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are still on Alphabet's board to ensure the company continues to head in the right direction. The fourth and final reason Alphabet might be a good fit for Berkshire's portfolio is its valuation. The stock is trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 19.4, which is cheaper than the broader market based on the 23.7 P/E ratio of the S&P 500 index. Plus, it's the cheapest Magnificent Seven stock by far. While Berkshire has never owned Alphabet stock, Buffett has definitely thought about it. In fact, during an interview back in 2017, he said his reluctance to invest during the company's earlier years was a mistake. Alphabet generates more than half of its revenue from selling advertising space to businesses adjacent to Google Search results, but that business is facing disruption from two angles. First, the U.S. Department of Justice recently won a court case against it over its anticompetitive behaviors. The end result of that case could be that Alphabet gets compelled to stop paying billions of dollars a year to Apple to make Google the default search engine on the browsers installed on devices like the iPhone. The judge in the case has yet to hand down his ruling on penalties and remedies, and the company will certainly appeal his decision, but any result that erodes Google's 89.5% market share in the internet search industry could deal a blow to Alphabet's financial results, which might be one of the reasons its stock is so cheap right now. The second challenge is AI. Chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT can provide direct answers to almost any query, whereas traditional search engines may point the user in the right direction, but still require them to sift through web pages to find the information they need. Alphabet is combating this threat with AI Overviews, which are AI-generated answers that appear above the traditional results in Google Search. The company hopes this will stop users from abandoning its search engine in favor of chatbots. However, Alphabet hedged its bets by launching its own AI assistant, Gemini. It isn't just a stand-alone chatbot, because Alphabet also embedded it into Google Workspace applications like Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. This should reduce users' interest in venturing outside the Google ecosystem to find information from competitors like OpenAI. In summary, Alphabet has become one of the clear leaders in AI, and that should help insulate it from potential disruption. However, investors like Buffett might feel the company's future is too uncertain to buy the stock with conviction. On the other hand, I think its cheap valuation offers sufficient compensation for the known risks.

The Best Trillion-Dollar Stock to Buy Right Now? Wall Street Has a Clear Answer for Investors.
Target prices set by Wall Street analysts imply Nvidia is the best trillion-dollar stock to buy right now. Nvidia reported strong first-quarter financial results despite headwinds related to export restrictions. Nvidia stock trades at a very reasonable valuation compared to Wall Street's forward earnings forecast. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Ten public companies have achieved a market value exceeding $1 trillion as of June 16. They are listed below in descending order based on upside implied by the median target price set by Wall Street analysts. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has a median target price of $175 per share. That implies 21% upside from its current share price of $145. Apple has median target price of $235 per share. That implies 18% upside from its current share price of $198. Broadcom has a median target price of $290 per share. That implies 15% upside from its current share price of $252. Alphabet has a median target price of $200 per share. That implies 13% upside from its current share price of $177. Amazon has a median target price of $240 per share. That implies 11% upside from its current share price of $216. Microsoft has a median target price of $510 per share. That implies 6% upside from its current share price of $479. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing has a median target price of $225 per share. That implies 4% upside from its current share price of $216. Berkshire Hathaway has a median target price of $490 per share. That implies 0% upside from its current share price of $490. Meta Platforms has a median target price of $700 per share. That implies less than 1% downside from its current share price of $702. Tesla has a median target price of $306 per share. That implies 7% downside from its current share price of $329. Wall Street clearly sees Nvidia as the best trillion-dollar stock to buy right now. Here's what investors should know about the chipmaker. Nvidia is the market leader in data center graphics processing units (GPUs), chips used to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) training and inference tasks. The company is also the market leader in InfiniBand networking equipment, the leading connectivity technology for back-end AI networks. Importantly, Nvidia has struggled with two headwinds throughout the year. First, Chinese start-up DeepSeek developed sophisticated large language models using fewer GPUs than U.S. competitors, causing investors to worry demand would decline. Second, the Trump administration restricted the export of H20 GPUs built for the Chinese market, effectively preventing Nvidia from operating in the country. Nvidia more or less put the first concern to rest with impressive first-quarter financial results that exceeded expectations on the top and bottom lines. Revenue increased 69% to $44 billion due to what CEO Jensen Huang characterized as "incredibly strong" demand for Nvidia AI infrastructure. And non-GAAP (adjusted) net income jumped 33% to $0.81 per diluted share. However, while first-quarter results show robust demand, export controls still hurt Nvidia. The company took a $4.5 billion charge due to excess H20 inventory, and adjusted earnings would have increased 57% to $0.96 per diluted share had the Trump administration not imposed new restrictions. Huang also said the company will miss out on $8 billion in sales in the July-ending quarter. Nevertheless, Morgan Stanley believes the downside related to export restrictions is fully priced into the stock and that Nvidia will eventually be able to participate in the Chinese market to some degree. "China is entirely derisked, at least for direct shipments, and we are optimistic that there will be some path to monetize at least a portion of that demand," analysts wrote in a recent note. Grand View Research estimates the data center GPU market will expand at 28.5% annually through 2030, while spending across AI hardware, software, and services increases at 35.9% annually during the same period. Nvidia is exceptionally well positioned to benefit from that explosive growth. Wall Street expects Nvidia's adjusted earnings to increase at 40% annually through the fiscal year ending January 2027. That makes the current valuation of 45 times adjusted earnings look reasonable, especially when Nvidia beat the consensus estimate by an average of 4% in the last six quarters. As a caveat, the semiconductor industry is cyclical, meaning Nvidia's sales tend to ebb and flow as companies intermittently invest in chips and other data center infrastructure. For instance, revenue growth could slow toward the beginning of fiscal 2027 as the company ramps up production of its next-generation Rubin GPU (slated to launch in the second half of next year). However, investors should also bear in mind that Nvidia has a substantial opportunity in its often overlooked automotive and robotics segment, which currently accounts for less than 2% of total sales. Generative AI has been in the spotlight since ChatGPT launched in late 2022, but Huang says the "ChatGPT moment" for autonomous cars and robots is right around the corner. Importantly, Nvidia has three computing platforms that address those markets: data center infrastructure to train models, a simulation engine to test those models, and embedded systems that handle on-board computing. Also, the company provides software tools that help developers build the necessary applications. Here's the bottom line: Nvidia enjoys a leadership position in a quickly growing market, and shares trade at a reasonable valuation. The stock price may be volatile over relatively short periods (i.e., months) due to the cyclical nature of the industry, but Nvidia still has a long runway for growth as the physical AI (autonomous cars and robots) market takes shape.
