Warren Buffett's 'Mystery Stock' Revealed in New Filing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Warren Buffett's multinational holding company Berkshire Hathaway has unveiled the "mystery stock" that had been kept hidden in previous financial results, ending months of speculation about the latest investment bet from the "Oracle of Omaha." A holding Barron's had valued at $4.8 billion was granted "confidential treatment" in recent quarterly filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A 13-F report published on Thursday revealed that multiple investments comprised this "mystery stock," and that Berkshire had been building up stakes in steelmaker Nucor, as well as homebuilders Lennar and D.R. Horton. Why It Matters Buffett is among the most followed and revered investors in the world, given the staggering and market-beating returns Berkshire Hathaway has delivered during his six-decade tenure leading the conglomerate. As a result of this track record, Buffett's investments are often interpreted as a vote of confidence in a company's underlying strengths and its potential for strong returns. What To Know According to Thursday's filing, as of June 30, Berkshire held around 7.2 million shares of Lennar, 6.6 million of Nucor and 1.5 million shares of D.R. Horton, thanks to purchases made over the past two quarters. Following the report, all three companies saw noticeable upticks in their share price in after-hours trading.

Photo illustration byLennar is one of the largest homebuilders in the U.S. and often viewed as a bellwether of the wider U.S. housing market. The stock is up around six percent in the year-to-date. Fellow homebuilder D.R. Horton is up around 20 percent. Meanwhile, North Carolina-based Nucor, a leading American steel producer, is up roughly 27 percent in 2025. Together, these investments were worth around 1.8 billion as of June 30, according to analysis by Barron's. In addition to these, Berkshire disclosed that it had purchased five million shares of embattled insurer UnitedHealth, acquiring a stake valued at approximately $1.6 billion. Beyond the high-profile assassination of CEO Brian Thompson last December, the company has also been grappling with a succession of financial difficulties. In late July, UnitedHealth reported that its earnings from operations had dropped to $5.2 billion in the second quarter from $7.9 billion for the comparable period in 2024, though revenue rose to $111.6 billion from $98.9 billion. The stock has fallen around 40 percent in the year-to-date, though it was up over 13 percent as of noon ET on Friday following Berkshire's stamp of approval. As well as Berkshire, CNBC reports that famed investor Michael Burry, known for his prophetic bets against the housing market ahead of the 2008 crash, has also built up a sizable stake in the company. During the second quarter, Berkshire also sold 20 million shares of Apple and 26 million shares of Bank of America, both among its biggest holdings, as well as its entire stake in T-Mobile. What People Are Saying UnitedHealth CEO Stephen Hemsley, during an earnings call last month, said: "We have the chance to reposition our enterprise as a far more modern, reliable, consumer and provider friendly enterprise using new technologies and approaches, and we are going to pursue that course. Pursuit of these opportunities aligns to and enables our reform and change mandate and allows us to better achieve our mission and to steadily perform better in doing so." Aswath Damodaran, professor of corporate finance and valuation at the Stern School of Business at New York University, told Newsweek he believed the recent investment were likely decisions made by other Berkshire executives. "If you think Warren Buffett is immersing himself in the finances and politics of health insurance at the age of 93, I think that you have a very different vision than I do," he said. What Happens Next Buffett will be stepping down as Berkshire's CEO at the end of this year. In May, he announced that Greg Abel, vice chair of noninsurance operations, would be taking over the role, but that he would remain chairman of the company's board of directors.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore ‘committed' to nuclear energy as Trump builds new reactors
BALTIMORE - No Maryland-based companies were included in President Donald Trump's push to build three new nuclear reactors, but both Gov. Wes Moore and a Republican state senator believe pursuing nuclear power is important for the state's energy needs. According to a news release Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Energy has made initial selections for projects under Trump's "Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program," which has a goal of getting three small nuclear reactors operational by July 4, 2026. This program, which Deputy Energy Secretary James Danly declared a "call to action," follows a June executive order aimed at reforming reactor testing procedures. Of the 10 firms selected for testing of "advanced reactor designs," seven are headquartered in either California or Texas. Each company chosen will be responsible for all costs from the designing to operating and decommissioning phases of its test reactors, according to the release. The 10 firms are: •Aalo Atomics Inc., based in Austin, Texas •Antares Nuclear Inc., based in Redwood City, California •Atomic Alchemy Inc., based in Idaho Falls, Idaho •Deep Fission Inc., based in Berkeley, California •Last Energy Inc., based in Washington, D.C. •Oklo Inc., based in Santa Clara, California •Natura Resources LLC, based in Abilene, Texas •Radiant Industries Inc., based in Segundo, California •Terrestrial Energy Inc., based in Charlotte, North Carolina •Valar Atomics Inc., based in Hawthorne, California Nuclear in Maryland In a statement to The Baltimore Sun, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore's office said he is "committed to meeting Maryland's energy needs with a strategy that includes nuclear power, increases production and reduces costs on consumers." The statement discussed Moore's support for the Next Generation Energy Act, which establishes a nuclear generation procurement process through the state's Public Service Commission and directs the Maryland Energy Administration to study cost-sharing agreements to make developing nuclear energy cheaper. State lawmakers did not pass the ENERGIZE Act - Moore's initial proposal, which would have established a 100% clean energy goal for Maryland and funded nuclear energy procurement through surcharges on ratepayers' energy bills. Earlier this year, Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson and other Democrats argued that passing higher energy costs on to consumers "was not tenable." State Sen. Justin Ready, a Republican who represents Carroll and Frederick counties, characterized the legislation as "a lot of half measures," while noting that some progress has been made. "There were bills that passed that are supposed to make it better for nuclear in Maryland, but … I don't know that they went as far as they could have," Ready told The Baltimore Sun. Ready said he was "not surprised" that no Maryland-based companies made it on the Trump administration's list to develop new reactors. He believes the state may be shifting towards nuclear energy, but Annapolis Democrats' excessive focus on natural gas regulation has "watered down" the effectiveness of bills like the Next Generation Energy Act. Moore has also supported the recent expansion of X-energy, a nuclear company based in Gaithersburg. Last month, X-energy consolidated its headquarters and announced plans to create more than 500 new jobs by 2031. The company also plans to use a 90,000 square-foot building in Frederick as its first "integrated test and training facility," which will house non-nuclear testing facilities and reactor prototyping components, according to a July 30 news release from the governor's office. ------------ Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
