BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY: CASH IS PILING UP
Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway has a crazy problem with cash… it has way too much
Just last week, it pocketed a $204 million dividend from its investment in Coca Cola
Berkshire’s cash reserves have now exceeded $381 billion
So far in 2025, Berkshire’s stock has underperformed the S&P, posting a return of +10%
This is likely due to Warren Buffett handing over the reins of the company to Greg Abel
After all, he has turned 95
The entire investment community is eagerly waiting to see how the company will deploy this massive cash pile
How do you see the stock heading into 2026?

Specifically Visa , Amazon, Exxon Mobil , and Bristol Myers Squibb
Barron’s has a very strong track record with its picks
Its 2025 list has delivered a return of around +30%, while the S&P is up about +16%
