Billionaire Warren Buffett Sold 39% of Berkshire's Stake in Bank of America and Is Loading Up on a Famed Consumer Brand That's Skyrocketed 7,700% Since Its IPO
May was a month to remember for Wall Street's most-famous billionaire money manager, Warren Buffett. On May 3, the company Buffett has been CEO of for six decades, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), reported its first-quarter operating results, and the Oracle of Omaha announced during his company's annual shareholder meeting that he'd be stepping down as CEO at the end of the year. But this wasn't all. 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 » Institutional investors with at least $100 million in assets under management were required to file Form 13F with the Securities and Exchange Commission by no later than May 15. Even though Berkshire's first-quarter operating results made clear that Buffett was a net seller of stocks for a 10th consecutive quarter, the company's cash flow statement didn't spill the beans on which stocks he was buying and selling. A 13F opens the proverbial hood for investors to see which stocks Wall Street's preeminent billionaire investor bought and sold in the first quarter. Based on Berkshire Hathaway's 13F for the March-ended quarter and various regulatory filings, we know that Buffett purchased 13 stocks, including a mystery company. On the flipside, Berkshire's chief oversaw the removal or reduction of eight stocks. What really stands out is Buffett's persistent selling of one of his (current) core holdings, and his continued purchasing of a beloved consumer brand that's skyrocketed since it became a public company 21 years ago. Bank of America stock gets the axe for the third consecutive quarter No sector tends to be favored more by the Oracle of Omaha than financials. Even though banks and insurance companies are relatively boring businesses that ebb-and-flow with the health of the U.S. economy, it's a sector that intrigues Berkshire's chief and for which he has a good understanding. For years, money-center giant Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) was Berkshire Hathaway's largest financial stock and No. 2 holding by market value, behind only Apple. But beginning on July 17, 2024 -- we know this specific date, because Berkshire Hathaway held in excess of 10% of BofA's outstanding shares, and was thus required to file Form 4 detailing all shares purchased and sold until its ownership dipped below 10% -- the selling spigot opened. For three consecutive quarters, Buffet has sold shares of Bank of America. What was once a position of more than 1.03 billion shares has been reduced by more than 401 million shares, or 39%. As of this writing on May 28, Bank of America has fallen to No. 4 in Berkshire's $276 billion portfolio, behind Apple, American Express, and Coca-Cola, in terms of market value. This persistent selling of Bank of America stock may very well be nothing more than benign profit-taking. Warren Buffett orchestrated a capital infusion with BofA in August 2011 that ultimately netted Berkshire the option to exercise warrants for up to 700 million shares of BofA stock at $7.14 per share. Buffett jumped at the opportunity to do so in mid-2017. With the peak marginal corporate income tax rate at its lowest level since 1939, locking in gains at an advantageous rate would be very Buffett-like. But it's also possible there are more nefarious reasons behind the Oracle of Omaha's steady paring of his company's Bank of America stake. For example, Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive of all money-center banks. When the Federal Reserve rapidly increased interest rates between March 2022 and July 2023, no big bank enjoyed a more tangible benefit to net interest income than BofA. Yet with the nation's central bank now in the midst of a rate-easing cycle, it's BofA that could see its net interest income hit hardest if rates dramatically fall. Additionally, Berkshire's CEO is an unwavering value investor -- and Bank of America is no longer the screaming bargain it once was. In August 2011, Bank of America's common stock was trading at a 62% discount to its book value. Through much of the first quarter, BofA stock traded at a 20% to 30% premium to its book value. While this isn't egregiously (or even historically) pricey, it's getting near Bank of America's priciest valuation, relative to book, since prior to the Great Recession. The Oracle of Omaha loaded up on this consumer goods stock for a third straight quarter While Warren Buffett has been continually reducing Berkshire Hathaway's exposure to Bank of America since July 2024, he's been building up a sizable stake, worth more than $1.2 billion (as of March 31, 2025), in one of America's most-famed consumer brands. In mid-November, when Berkshire Hathaway released its 13F detailing third-quarter trading activity, investors took note that Buffett put a slice of Domino's Pizza (NASDAQ: DPZ) on his proverbial plate. Berkshire Hathaway gobbled up 1,277,256 shares in the September-ended quarter, added 1,104,744 shares in the December-ended quarter, and topped things off in the latest quarter with 238,613 more shares. All told, Berkshire Hathaway now holds 2,620,613 shares of Domino's Pizza, which equates to a 7.7% stake in the company. Though Domino's Pizza stock wasn't much of a hit with investors through its first six years as a public company, it's been virtually unstoppable over the last 15 years. Inclusive of dividends, Domino's is nearing a total return of almost 7,700% since its July 2004 initial public offering (IPO). Domino's massive outperformance of the benchmark S&P 500, and the reason(s) Buffett has been a buyer, can be broken down to three factors. The first variable is an all-important intangible that can be a dealbreaker for Warren Buffett and his top advisors: trust. Domino's Pizza kicked off a fresh advertising campaign in 2009 that flat-out admitted its pizza was terrible and vowed to do better. The company's straightforward marketing campaign and efforts to engage and maintain transparency helped it win over consumers. It takes a long time to build trust with consumers, but Domino's has done an exemplary job. Secondly, Domino's management team has consistently laid out multiyear growth strategies and been able to achieve them. The latest of its plans is the "Hungry for MORE" initiative. Domino's five-year plan is to lean into technology to spruce up its supply chain and increase productivity. It'll also be relying on its franchisees to help build up the company's brand. With 31 consecutive years of international same-store sales growth under its belt, clearly the company is doing something right. Lastly, Berkshire's head honcho is a big fan of businesses with hearty capital-return programs -- and Domino's doesn't disappoint. It's raised its base annual dividend for 12 consecutive years and has been a relatively consistent buyer of its own stock. Share buybacks have the potential to increase earnings per share for companies with steady or growing net income. Should you invest $1,000 in Domino's Pizza right now?

Billionaire Bill Ackman Wants to Be the Next Warren Buffett, and He Is Buying an AI Stock Up 855% in 10 Years (Hint: Not Nvidia)
In 1965, Warren Buffett took control of Berkshire Hathaway. He said that in hindsight it was a "doomed" textile mill "headed for extinction." But he saved the business, and laid the foundation for lasting growth, by shifting its focus to insurance. That brilliant decision created a steady inflow of investable capital in the form of insurance premiums, and Buffett used that cash to great effect over the years. Berkshire's market value has increased more than 5,500,000% since Buffett took control, for an average annual return of 20% over six decades. Buffett deserves much of the credit. He (along with the late Charlie Munger) engineered acquisitions, stock purchases, and share buybacks that ultimately turned Berkshire into a trillion-dollar business, one of only 11 in the world at this writing. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » While Buffett plans to step down as chief executive at Berkshire this year, billionaire Bill Ackman hopes to recreate his success with Howard Hughes Holdings. Ackman recently added another 900 million shares to his hedge fund, bringing his total ownership to 46.9%. He plans to turn Howard Hughes into a "modern-day version of Berkshire" by acquiring controlling interests in private and public companies. If Ackman succeeds, he could become the "next Warren Buffett." Here's the artificial intelligence stock he just bought. Bill Ackman just bought Amazon, an AI stock up 855% in the last decade Bill Ackman ranks among the 20 most successful hedge-fund managers as measured by net gains, according to LCH Investments. And Pershing Square outperformed the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) by 24 percentage points over the last five years. Those accomplishments make Ackman an excellent source of inspiration. Importantly, he purchased three stocks during the first quarter: Hertz Global, Uber Technologies, and Brookfield Corporation. Those trades were disclosed in a Form 13F filed last month, but Pershing more recently added Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), an artificial intelligence (AI) stock that rocketed 855% over the last decade. Pershing's chief investment officer Ryan Israel said: "We felt that the company would be able to work through any slowdown in the cloud computing division Amazon Web Services, and we did not judge that tariffs would have a material impact on the earnings in the retail business." Interestingly, Ackman has a very concentrated portfolio that included fewer than a dozen stocks as of the first quarter. Chipmaker Nvidia was not one of those stocks. Amazon has three major growth opportunities Amazon's market value exceeds $2 trillion today, but it could be much larger in a few years. The company has a strong presence in three growing industries, as detailed below: Not only does Amazon run the largest online marketplace in the U.S., but it also expects to gain market share this year. Domestic retail e-commerce sales are forecast to increase 8% annually through 2028, according to eMarketer. Amazon is the third-largest adtech company in the world and is rapidly taking share from industry leaders Google (part of Alphabet) and Meta Platforms. Retail ad spending is forecast to increase 17% annually in the U.S. through 2028, according to eMarketer. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the largest public cloud operator, as measured by infrastructure and platform services spending. Cloud computing sales are forecast to grow at 20% annually through 2030, according to Grand View Research. Importantly, retail advertising and cloud services revenues not only are growing faster than online retail sales, but also have higher margins. That will make Amazon more profitable over time. But the company is also developing about 1,000 generative AI applications that will improve productivity and efficiency across its retail business, from front-end tasks like customer service to back-end tasks like coding. AWS is ideally positioned to monetize AI. It already operates the largest public cloud as measured by revenue and customers, but it has also introduced new products at all three layers of the computing stack. That includes custom chips for AI training and inference at the infrastructure layer, AI-model development tools like Bedrock at the platform layer, and AI applications like Amazon Q at the software layer. That three-tiered strategy is paying off. CEO Andy Jassy recently told analysts: "Our AI business has a multibillion-dollar annual revenue run rate," and "continues to grow triple-digit year-over-year percentages." Most Wall Street analysts anticipate upside in Amazon stock in the next year Amazon shares soared 855% over the last decade as the company built strong positions in online retail, digital advertising, and cloud computing. And Wall Street is still predominantly bullish. Among the 71 analysts who follow the company, 96% rate the stock a buy, and the median target price is $235 per share, which implies 14% upside from the current share price of $205. Wall Street expects Amazon's earnings to increase at 10% annually through 2026. That makes the current price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 33 look somewhat expensive. But I think analysts are underestimating the company, as they have in the past -- Amazon topped the consensus earnings estimate by an average of 21% during the last six quarters. Long-term investors should feel comfortable buying a small position today. Should you invest $1,000 in Amazon right now?

Asian shares slide as Russia-Ukraine conflict, OPEC+ output plan push oil prices higher
HONG KONG (AP) — Asian shares sank on Monday and oil prices jumped as trade tensions and the Russian-Ukraine conflict ratcheted up geopolitical uncertainty. Hong Kong's Hang Seng plunged more than 2% as Beijing and Washington traded harsh words over trade. U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that he will double tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50% layered on still more worries for investors. A report over the weekend that China's factory activity contracted in May, although the decline slowed from April as the country reached a deal with the U.S. to slash President Donald Trump's sky-high tariffs, further undermined market sentiment. Markets in mainland China were closed for a holiday. Oil prices rallied after OPEC+ decided on a modest increase in output beginning in July. It was the third monthly increase in a row. U.S. benchmark crude oil gained $1.60 to $62.39 per barrel, while Brent crude, the international standard, was up $1.41 at $64.19 per barrel. Moscow pounded Ukraine with missiles and drones just hours before a new round of direct peace talks in Istanbul and a Ukrainian drone attack destroyed more than 40 Russian planes deep in Russia's territory, Ukraine's Security Service said on Sunday. Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 2.2% to 22,778.45 as China and the U.S. accused each other of breaching their tariff agreement reached in Geneva last month. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 lost 1.6% to 37,356.97, while the Kospi in Seoul fell 0.4% to 2,686.17. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 retreated 0.2% to 8,416.00. On Friday, Wall Street closed its best month since 2023. The S&P 500 retreated less than 0.1% to end at 5,911.69 and the Dow industrials Jones Industrial Average edged 0.1% higher to 42,270.07. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.3% to 19,113.77. Gap weighed on the market even though the retailer reported stronger profit and revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company behind Banana Republic and Old Navy fell 20.2% after saying tariffs on imports from China and other countries could add up to $300 million to its costs this fiscal year. It has strategies set to mitigate up to half of that before it hits its profits. Hopes had largely been rising that the worst of such worries had passed, which in turn sent stocks rallying, after Trump paused his tariffs on both China and the European Union. A U.S. court then on Wednesday blocked many of Trump's sweeping tariffs. That all sent the S&P 500 in May to its first winning month in four and its best since November. But the tariffs remain in place while the White House appeals the ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade, and the ultimate outcome is still uncertain. Friday's most influential losses came from several Big Tech stocks. Nvidia fell 2.9% to give back some of its gain from earlier in the week after it topped analysts' expectations for profit in the latest quarter. It was the single heaviest weight by far on the S&P 500. On the winning side of Wall Street was Ulta Beauty, which rose 11.8% after the retailer reported stronger sales and profit than analysts forecast. It also raised the top end of its forecasted range for revenue this fiscal year even though CEO Kecia Steelman called the operating environment 'fluid.' Costco climbed 3.1% after the retailer's results and revenue for the latest quarter edged past analysts' expectations. In the bond market, Treasury yields eased after a report showed that the measure of inflation that the Federal Reserve likes to use was slightly lower in April than economists expected. A separate report from the University of Michigan said that sentiment among U.S. consumers was better in May than economists expected. Sentiment improved in the back half of the month after Trump paused many of his tariffs on China. In currency trading early Monday, the U.S. dollar fell to 143.55 Japanese yen from 143.87 yen. The euro inched up to $1.1364 from $1.1351.
