If I Could Only Buy and Hold a Single Stock, This Would Be It.
Let's make this clear from the start: I would never recommend owning just one stock for the long haul. A proper nest egg needs some variety, either in a carefully assembled basket of diverse stocks or focused on a broad market-tracking exchange-traded fund (ETF). For the sake of argument, however, I could imagine buying some Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) stock and just letting it roll. The usual suspects aren't diverse enough for this challenge I know, I know. You wanted me to double down on Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), whose stock has absolutely crushed the general market in the long run. Or I could have picked Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), the media-streaming pioneer that's created most of my wealth so far and that might join the trillion-dollar market cap club in a few years. Perhaps you expected Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), with its unmatched five-year returns and huge long-term future in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. These stocks sure tick a few of the right boxes, but none of them are as naturally diversified as Berkshire Hathaway. That's really what I'm looking for in a "single stock for all ages." Why my biggest winners don't make the cut I own all three of the suggested Berkshire alternatives above, by the way. Netflix Netflix was an early name in my portfolio, inspired by fellow Fool Rick Munarriz's in-depth analysis of the company in the mid-2000s. When Netflix went through the Qwikster-branded separation of DVD and streaming services, I doubled down on my investment at a fantastic price. That particular Netflix stake has gained 10,350% in less than 14 years. But that's just my favorite play on the future of digital media services. I would never dare to make Netflix my only holding, just in case somebody builds a better media-streaming mousetrap. Amazon I wish I had pounced on Amazon much earlier, like Motley Fool co-founders Tom and David Gardner did. But I dragged my feet, and watched the online bookstore become an e-commerce buffet with a highly profitable side of cloud computing services. My oldest Amazon investment is only up by 430% since January 2017. Still, Amazon only operates in a couple of business sectors. The company (and stock) could be vulnerable to a sudden sea change in cloud computing, possibly led by Microsoft 's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Windows Azure. And how well would Amazon's dominant e-commerce business perform if global rivals such as Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) or MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) found some traction in the American market? Amazon is not a one-trick pony, but the company should pick up a few more skills before entering this single-stock discussion. Nvidia I'm especially worried about Nvidia's long-term tenacity. The early leader in AI accelerator hardware could very well run into a superior alternative in the next few years. The risk only grows larger if you stretch the timeline out over decades. Rivals like Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) control tiny slices of the AI chip opportunity so far, but that could change. The next market-defining AI winner could be some upstart I haven't heard of yet. Moreover, leading cloud computing experts such as Microsoft and Amazon already design AI accelerators of their own, hoping to meet their exact needs at a lower cost. Nvidia's big growth spurt might have a few years left in it. I'm just not convinced that the stock will continue to rise after that. My largest Nvidia purchase has posted a 780% gain since June 2022, but I cashed in on those paper gains and sold most of my Nvidia shares earlier this year. This pony needs to learn a few more tricks, too. Berkshire is the Swiss Army knife of stocks So diversity sets Berkshire apart from the biggest success stories of this era. Sure, Warren Buffett's stock-picking and wealth management expertise deserves tons of respect. But he is also known as a great mentor, and many of Berkshire's top-performing picks in recent years were added by Buffett's lieutenants. I expect the company to continue doing well when the Oracle of Omaha retires at the end of 2025. The stock is kind of like a carefully curated ETF. Berkshire Hathaway owns and operates 68 distinct companies these days. The names range from GEICO car insurance and Duracell batteries to Business Wire information services and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad. Berkshire dabbles in e-commerce (Oriental Trading Company) and clothing (Fruit of the Loom), not to mention home construction (Clayton Homes) and fast food (Dairy Queen). This business list is almost as diverse as the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) market index. And that's just Berkshire's in-house brands. The company also owns stock in about 40 public companies. The largest investments include a $60.7 billion stake in Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), a $45.1 billion position in American Express (NYSE: AXP), and a $28.5 billion holding of Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO). That's consumer electronics, financial services, and beverage distribution. Apple's gigantic presence may look risky, but the danger looks smaller when you also consider Berkshire's epic collection of fully owned businesses. Do you see a theme here? I do, but it's not a single industry. Berkshire is all about diversity, shielding the company and its investors against the temporary ups and downs in any one particular industry. Full disclosure: I don't own Berkshire (yet) I don't actually own any Berkshire Hathaway stock yet. I get my portfolio diversification kicks in other ways, with several dozen hand-picked stocks and a couple of broad index funds serving this purpose. That's arguably a mistake, since Berkshire's stock tends to outperform the S&P 500 in the long run, and I can't compete with the Buffett team's stock-picking skill. So if you're starting a new portfolio today, or just looking for an alternative to the common S&P 500 index funds, you should give Berkshire Hathaway a serious look. It's definitely a safer long-term bet than Nvidia, Netflix, or even Amazon. Should you invest $1,000 in Berkshire Hathaway right now? Before you buy stock in Berkshire Hathaway, 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 Berkshire Hathaway wasn't one of them.

Jefferies Is Doubling Down on Nvidia. Here Are 3 Other Stocks the Firm Loves Now.
Jefferies recently refreshed its 'Franchise Picks' list, and it sees a solid future for Nvidia (NVDA) as next-gen Blackwell chips are causing the company to remain dominant. The Franchise Picks list is Jefferies' tightest collection of 'Buy'-rated ideas. The firm only admits stocks on which its analysts have solid conviction. Alongside Nvidia, Jefferies also sees Capital One Financial (COF), Expand Energy (EXE), and Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) as top picks. These stocks are riding tailwinds from AI compute, consumer credit scale, the energy boom, and the consolidation in the Midwestern banking sector. There's plenty of upside if things go according to plan. Let's dive in. Stock #1: Capital One Financial (COF) Capital One Financial just won regulatory approval for its $35 billion takeover of Discover. The combined entity is now one of the top card issuers. Capital One already posted solid net income that rose 10% year-over-year last quarter. It now expects to redirect a sizable chunk of Discover spend onto its own processing rails, which could lift margins several hundred basis points. Litigation over deposit practices did cost $425 million, but that is lunch money compared with the incremental cash flow from a vertically integrated payments franchise. Jefferies has maintained its 'Buy' rating on this stock and recently adjusted its price target on COF from $200 to $230. The mean price target is at $217.75, and Jefferies isn't the only firm that's bullish here. Price targets go up to $264. Stock #2: Expand Energy (EXE) Most investors have never heard of Expand Energy, but Jefferies' energy team loves its business. Expand Energy expects to push production to 7.1 bcf‑equivalent‑per‑day in 2025 and 7.5 bcfed the year after. Management just posted a clean earnings beat and reaffirmed a $2.7 billion capital plan to run 12 rigs. The U.S. LNG build‑out means domestic gas (NGN25) demand could rise 18% annually through the decade, and Expand's acreage sits close to Gulf Coast liquefaction hubs. Jefferies raised its target to $135 from $130. The mean price target here is $127.81, and price targets go up to $170. Stock #2: Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) Regional banks remain unloved, but Huntington Bancshares' credit quality looks rock solid. It trades at just under 11 times forward earnings and has a dividend yield of 3.86%. It posted Q1 net income that rose 26% year-over-year, and has had 5% loan growth. It reiterated a 5% to 7% loan and a 3% to 5% deposit CAGR through 2025. The Midwest economy is stronger than coastal investors believe. Manufacturing reshoring is happening, and Huntington sits at the heart of it. It lends to small and midsize firms that are busy rebuilding supply chains. Jefferies initiated coverage last month and set a price target of $20. The mean price target here is $17.65, and Jefferies has the highest price target here among 21 analysts.

Perplexity AI Reports Explosive Growth as Users Look for Browser Alternatives
Perplexity's AI-powered search engine is growing quickly, with CEO Aravind Srinivas reporting a 20% month-over-month increase and 780 million queries in May, according to TechCrunch. Speaking at the Bloomberg Tech Summit, Srinivas said that the platform could hit 1 billion weekly queries if growth continues. He also argued that internet users are looking for fresh alternatives to legacy browsers like Google's (GOOGL) Chrome, and that integrated search tools in a browser can drive even higher engagement. Confident Investing Starts Here: As a result, the company is preparing to launch Comet, which is a new agentic search engine that can help complete tasks for users. In addition, Srinivas noted on X that Comet will soon include features such as meeting recordings, transcription, and search, although these will not be available in the initial release. Nevertheless, Perplexity is working hard to polish the product, with a release expected in about three to five weeks. It is also worth noting that Perplexity is backed by investors such as Nvidia (NVDA) and Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos, and is reportedly closing a funding round that would value it at $14 billion, up from $9 billion in December. Moreover, the search engine recently added a new feature that allows in-chat purchases via PayPal (PYPL) or Venmo. Still, despite Perplexity's growth, Google still dominates the market with about 90% global market share, followed by Microsoft's (MSFT) Bing at around 4%. Which Stock Is the Better Buy? Turning to Wall Street, out of the stocks mentioned above, analysts think that NVDA stock has the most room to run. In fact, NVDA's average price target of $172.36 per share implies more than 21% upside potential. On the other hand, analysts expect the least from MSFT stock, as its average price target of $514.27 equates to a gain of 9.2%. See more NVDA analyst ratings Disclaimer & Disclosure Report an Issue
