1 Reason to Buy Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) Stock
Key Points CEO Warren Buffett has helped make Berkshire Hathaway one of the world's most successful companies. Berkshire Hathaway has actually significantly underperformed the S&P 500 index this year, but the stock looks like a smart long-term play. Berkshire's massive cash pile and proven team of leaders and analysts makes the stock a worthwhile investment. 10 stocks we like better than Berkshire Hathaway › Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) is one of the world's largest and most successful companies. Led by visionary investor and CEO Warren Buffett since 1965, the investment conglomerate has a market capitalization of roughly $995 billion -- and it ranks as the 11th-largest overall business in the world. Buffett has been an incredible leader for the company and helped it to crush the broader market over the last half century, but he's poised to step down as the company's CEO at the end of this year. Board chairman Greg Abel will be succeeding Buffett in the CEO role -- a passing of the torch that will mark one of the most high-profile leadership transitions in finance history. While Buffett's move out of the CEO role could create some uncertainty for the stock heading into next year, the company has a great team of analysts and seems to have a strong succession plan in place. Even with a key management transition on the near horizon, there's a great reason to buy Berkshire Hathaway stock right now. Berkshire Hathaway stock looks like a smart defensive investment Berkshire stock has gained roughly 2% year to date as of this writing -- a performance that lags significantly behind the S&P 500 index's gain of roughly 8%. Some of the reasoning for the relative underperformance is relatively clear. Berkshire has been a substantial net seller of stocks over the last year and opted to stay on the sidelines as some growth-dependent plays have seen huge valuation gains and helped push major indexes to new record levels. While this has meant that Buffett's company has missed out on some of the effects of the market's recent rally, it also makes the investment conglomerate's stock more appealing as a defensive play right now. Berkshire has a fantastic team of stock pickers, and the company has amassed a $344 billion cash pile that it will deploy when the team thinks bargains are available. For long-term investors, Berkshire continues to have the makings of a portfolio anchor with market-beating potential. Should you buy stock in Berkshire Hathaway right now?

Sunrun stock soars 30% on strong results despite policy challenges Sunrun (RUN) stock rallied more than 30% on Thursday after the solar company reported a surprise profit on Wednesday, lifting shares of other solar stocks. In the second quarter, Sunrun reported profits of $1.07 per share, compared to an expected loss of $0.12 per share. Sunrun recorded $569 million in revenue, also beating Wall Street estimates for $560 million, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. The report offered a bright spot in what's been a turbulent quarter for renewables, as President Trump's signature budget law accelerated the phase-out of some solar and wind tax credits despite strong lobbying by the industry. "Sunrun is well-positioned to continue to generate strong financial returns under the enacted legislation," Sunrun CEO Mary Grace Powell assured investors on the earnings call. "While the sunset of the 25D homeowner tax credit could lead to large declines for a segment of the market in certain geographies, Sunrun is positioned to continue to grow margins and volumes into 2026." The Trump administration has also cracked down on permitting for wind and solar projects while propping up nuclear and fossil fuels. And tariffs prove to be another headwind. Powell said tariff costs were "at the low end" of its previously forecast range of $1,000 to $1,300 per customer. Tariffs loom over Crocs's third quarter financial outlook Crocs (CROX) forecast a 9% to 11% decline in third quarter revenue on Thursday, as tariffs and a softer consumer spending environment weigh on the business. The stock lost a quarter of its value, falling 25% to $79 per share in early trading after reporting second quarter results. "We expect the Crocs brand to be down mid-single digits, led by declines in North America, offset in part by growth in international," Crocs CFO Susan Healy said in the company's earnings call. "This includes our expectation that the second half wholesale environment will be challenging for both brands based on the visibility we have in our current order books." On the cost side, Crocs expects incremental tariffs to create a $40 million headwind in the second half of the year for a total impact of $90 million for the year. The shoe company imports most of its products from China, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and Cambodia, which face tariffs in a range of 10% to 20%. The company sees a 170-basis-point impact on adjusted operating margins in the third quarter, largely from tariffs. Revenue for the June quarter slightly beat estimates at $1.41 billion. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $4.23 also beat expectations of $4.02 per share. Peloton stock soars on swing to profit Peloton (PTON) swung to a profit in its fiscal fourth quarter, posting earnings of $21.6 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to estimates for a loss of $0.05 per share and a loss of $0.08 per share last year. Revenue fell to $606.9 million, but still topped estimates for $579.9 million in the quarter. The stock jumped over 8% in premarket trading. The fitness platform announced it launched a cost-cutting plan intended to achieve $100 million in savings by the end of fiscal year 2026, which includes layoffs. "This is not a decision we came to lightly, as it impacts many talented team members, but we believe it is necessary for the long-term health of our business," CEO Peter Stern said in a shareholder letter. Peloton's outlook for the upcoming year includes $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion in total revenue, a 51% gross margin, and $400 million to $450 million of adjusted EBITDA.

Discovery posts surprise profit Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) stock climbed 3% in premarket trading after the company reported a surprise second quarter profit. The international rollout of HBO Max in Australia, a strong quarter for box office hits from the studio division, and streaming series like "The Pitt" helped boost results. The company reported profits of $0.63 per share on revenue of $9.8 billion, compared with expectations for a loss of $0.21. Higher box office sales boosted theatrical revenue by 38%, driven by box office hits "A Minecraft Movie," "Sinners," and "Final Destination: Bloodlines." Warner Bros. added 3.4 million global streaming subscribers in the quarter, raising the overall number to 125.7 million. Streaming advertising revenue increased 17%, largley driven by an increase in ad-lite subscribers.

Sunrun stock soars 30% on strong results despite policy challenges Sunrun (RUN) stock rallied more than 30% on Thursday after the solar company reported a surprise profit on Wednesday, lifting shares of other solar stocks. In the second quarter, Sunrun reported profits of $1.07 per share, compared to an expected loss of $0.12 per share. Sunrun recorded $569 million in revenue, also beating Wall Street estimates for $560 million, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. The report offered a bright spot in what's been a turbulent quarter for renewables, as President Trump's signature budget law accelerated the phase-out of some solar and wind tax credits despite strong lobbying by the industry. "Sunrun is well-positioned to continue to generate strong financial returns under the enacted legislation," Sunrun CEO Mary Grace Powell assured investors on the earnings call. "While the sunset of the 25D homeowner tax credit could lead to large declines for a segment of the market in certain geographies, Sunrun is positioned to continue to grow margins and volumes into 2026." The Trump administration has also cracked down on permitting for wind and solar projects while propping up nuclear and fossil fuels. And tariffs prove to be another headwind. Powell said tariff costs were "at the low end" of its previously forecast range of $1,000 to $1,300 per customer.

Tariffs loom over Crocs's third quarter financial outlook Crocs (CROX) forecast a 9% to 11% decline in third quarter revenue on Thursday, as tariffs and a softer consumer spending environment weigh on the business. The stock lost a quarter of its value, falling 25% to $79 per share in early trading after reporting second quarter results. "We expect the Crocs brand to be down mid-single digits, led by declines in North America, offset in part by growth in international," Crocs CFO Susan Healy said in the company's earnings call. "This includes our expectation that the second half wholesale environment will be challenging for both brands based on the visibility we have in our current order books." On the cost side, Crocs expects incremental tariffs to create a $40 million headwind in the second half of the year for a total impact of $90 million for the year. The shoe company imports most of its products from China, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and Cambodia, which face tariffs in a range of 10% to 20%. The company sees a 170-basis-point impact on adjusted operating margins in the third quarter, largely from tariffs. Revenue for the June quarter slightly beat estimates at $1.41 billion. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $4.23 also beat expectations of $4.02 per share.
