Warren Buffett: Warren Buffett is on fire! Berkshire Hathaway shares soar 16%, investors bet on Omaha’s Midas touching Oracle and flock to his anti-recession strategy
Buffett’s net worth climbed $23 billion this year, pushing him to sixth place in the Bloomberg Billionaire Index with a fortune of $165 billion. Shareholders also praised Geico’s rebound under CEO Todd Combs, who simplified operations to boost profits. From Apple to BNSF Rail, Berkshire’s diversified holdings see it as a resilience anchor for an uncertain era.
Buffett’s value investment legacy drives confidence
Warren Buffett’s six-decade leadership turned Berkshire into a $1 trillion power company, increasing annual yields by 20%, almost double the S&P 500 growth. Like the 2008 financial crisis, his strategy of prioritizing undervalued assets during market collapse continues to inspire trust. Portfolio manager highlighted Berkshire’s $270 billion equity portfolio and $30 billion in annual operating cash flow as key advantages.
Analysts point out that Berkshire’s balance sheet has rare reliability amid geopolitical and economic instability. For example, during the internet outbreak, Berkshire’s stock price rose 10% per year, while technology stocks collapsed. Buffett is disciplined to avoid market bubbles and focuses on long-term value to make investors loyal, even if questions about succession plans persist.
