<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions are not the sole determinant of investment choices, but they are a factor worth considering.
In the realm of legality, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
Notably, when a company insider makes a new purchase, it is considered an indicator of their positive expectations for the stock.
Conversely, insider sells may not necessarily signal a bearish stance on the stock and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>The Insider's Guide to Important Transaction Codes</h3>
Digging into the details of stock transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their attention to those taking place in the open market, as outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<a href="https://13f.info/13f/000095012325002701-berkshire-hathaway-inc-q4-2024">A regulatory filing</a> released on Feb. 14, showed that Berkshire slashed its stake in Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), cutting its shares from over 1 billion to about 680 million by the end of last year. The drop reduced Berkshire's ownership from over 13% to 11%, bringing the value of the investment from about $41 billion to under $30 billion.

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Portfolio Adjustments</h2>
Beyond Bank of America, Berkshire adjusted several other financial holdings. According to the filing, the firm sold 74% of its Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) stake, 18% of its Capital One (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) position, and 54% of its shares in Nu Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>).&nbsp;
It also trimmed investments in Charter Communications (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>), Louisiana-Pacific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPX#NYSE">LPX</a>), and T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>). The changes indicate a move away from financial stocks and select industries.
At the same time, Berkshire made a notable addition, buying a $1.2 billion stake in Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>), the company behind popular beers like Corona and Modelo. As per market trends, consumer staples tend to hold up well in uncertain economic times, making this a strategic shift toward more stable investments.
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
Berkshire also increased its holdings in companies tied to steady consumer demand. Its stake in Domino's Pizza (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) grew by 86%, and its investment in Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>) jumped by 48%.&nbsp;
These moves suggest confidence in businesses that remain relevant regardless of market conditions—whether people are tightening their budgets or not, they still order pizza and maintain their pools.
Not all holdings made the cut. Berkshire fully exited Ulta Beauty (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) despite only acquiring shares in the second quarter of 2024.&nbsp;
See Also: Many don&#8217;t know there are tax benefits when buying a unit as an investment —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/casa-shares"> Here&#8217;s how to invest in real estate by mirroring BlackRock's big move</a>
It also sold off its positions in two major exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the S&amp;P 500—SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>). This suggests a more targeted approach rather than following the broader market.
Berkshire's cash pile has reached record levels. According to its <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/3rdqtr24.pdf">financial reports</a>, the company sold about $133 billion worth of stocks in the first nine months of 2024 while buying less than $6 billion.&nbsp;
Share buybacks also slowed, with under $3 billion spent compared to nearly $70 billion over the previous four years, <a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/news/warren-buffett-dumped-stocks-built-a-dollar300-billion-cash-pile-and-updated-his/pgecrnn">according to Business Insider</a>.&nbsp; These moves helped Berkshire's cash reserves soar past $300 billion for the first time, nearly doubling from $168 billion at the start of the year, the report added.&nbsp;

Berkshire Hathaway Dumps Ulta Beauty, Citi, And ETFs – But Buffett Just Bet $1.2 Billion On This Alcohol Giant

Warren Buffett will unveil the newest Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) shareholder letter Saturday, after once again beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years">S&amp;P 500 in 2024</a>.
Here's a look at what could be included in the legendary investor&#8217;s newest shareholder letter.
What Happened: Each year, Buffett releases a shareholder letter that discusses the market outlook, the performance of Berkshire Hathaway segments and the public stocks it invests in.
Last year's letter was one of the more meaningful and memorable ones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/02/37301322/the-architect-berkshire-hathaway-warren-buffett-honors-charlie-munger-in-emotional-annual-letter">Buffett penned a detailed tribute</a> to the late Charlie Munger, who Buffett called "the architect of Berkshire Hathaway."
On Saturday, there could be moments of tribute to Munger once again. The <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/letters.html">letter </a>will likely revolve more around current Berkshire Hathaway investments and operating segments.
"I am charged with writing a letter every year that will be useful to this diverse and ever-changing group of owners, many of whom wish to learn more about their investment," Buffett said in last year's letter.
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43419547/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-52">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
What Could Be In The 2024 Letter: There are hundreds of items that Buffett could cover in the 2024 annual letter.
One area covered in recent years is handpicking several stocks that are said to leave him feeling comfortable among the non-controlled stock investments. In 2022, he picked Coca-Cola and American Express. In 2023, Occidental Petroleum and the basket of Japanese stocks made the cut.
The question is: Which companies will Buffett pick for 2024? After selling Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares several times in recent quarters, Buffett held tight in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43756510/berkshire-hathaway-adjusts-portfolio-keeps-apple-stake-unchanged-offloads-stakes-in-bofa">the fourth quarter</a>. Buffett often praises the technology giant — a staple in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio in recent years. Is there enough to call the company one of the most comfortable investments going forward?
If Apple doesn't make the cut, Buffett could still profile the company and its future growth. The stock still makes up a large weighting in the company's investment portfolio.
Buffett could profile newer investments in the shareholder letter. In recent quarters, Buffett's company has added to its stakes in Domino's Pizza (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) and Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>). Berkshire Hathaway also took an initial 5,624,324 share position in Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>) in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43795579/warren-buffett-unfazed-by-trumps-tariff-threats-oracle-of-omaha-bets-on-mexico-beer">the fourth quarter.</a>
Buffett likely won't comment on whether it was he who made the investment decisions or an advisor. He also won&#8217;t likely indicate whether the company is done buying shares. Yet, investors would love more color on the reasoning behind the purchases. Buffett could share more on if the stocks were added as defensive names due to macroeconomic concerns or if there is growth or undervaluation that caught the firm's attention.
Succession is another topic that has been brought up in recent years. Last year's shareholder letter cited Greg Abel as the handpicked leader of the company after Buffett. Considering Buffett is 94 years old, investors are likely looking for more commentary on how and when the succession could take place, or how much control Abel currently has over the company.
The shareholder letter will also dive into the companies that are owned by Berkshire Hathaway, which could provide a good outlook on how sectors like insurance, railroads and consumer products are doing. Duracell, a Berkshire company, made its first ever<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43598736/super-bowl-commercials-2025-complete-list-of-super-bowl-lix-ads-and-companies-behind-them"> Super Bowl commercial </a>earlier this month. Buffett&#8217;s writing about that decision could provide a great marketing lesson for the value of Super Bowl ads.
While Buffett doesn't get too political, commentary on the new White House administration, international markets, tariffs and rate cuts could all be items closely watched by investors.
Price Action: Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares trade at $479.82 versus a 52-week trading range of $395.66 to $491.67. The stock is up 6.3% year-to-date in 2025 and up 17.2% over the last year.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, trades at $600.27. The ETF is up 2.7% year-to-date in 2025 and up 20.7% over the last year.
Berkshire is currently outperforming the SPY in 2025, but lagging on a 52-week basis.

Earnings Scheduled For February 20, 2025

Berkshire Hathaway, under the leadership of&nbsp;Warren Buffett, has amplified its investments in&nbsp;Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>),&nbsp;Pool Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>), and&nbsp;Constellation Brands, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>).
What Happened: According to the recent 13F filings, Berkshire&#8217;s investment in Pool Corp escalated from approximately&nbsp;$152 million to $204 million.&nbsp;Its stake in Domino&#8217;s Pizza also witnessed a substantial surge from nearly $549 million to $1 billion. Furthermore,&nbsp;Berkshire initiated a significant stake&nbsp;in Constellation Brands, estimated at around $1.2 billion.
Investment experts speculate that these investment choices were probably made by Todd Combs or Ted Weschler, who manage smaller investment portfolios at Berkshire Hathaway, reports <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/02/15/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-stocks-pool-dominos-ulta-beer-wine/">the </a>Fortune. Currently, the company holds a cash reserve&nbsp;valued at more than $300&nbsp;billion.
During the same period, Berkshire retained&nbsp;its $75 billion stake in&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) while reducing its stakes in&nbsp;Bank of America Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>),&nbsp;Citigroup Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), and&nbsp;Capital One Financial Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>).

Interestingly, Berkshire completely divested its stake in&nbsp;Ulta Beauty Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>). The company&#8217;s annual letter to shareholders, which usually sheds light on its investment decisions, is due later this month.
Why It Matters: Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s recent investment decisions indicate a strategic shift towards companies that have demonstrated resilience and growth potential amidst market volatility. 
The significant increase in stakes in Domino&#8217;s Pizza, Pool Corp, and the initiation of a substantial stake in Constellation Brands, underscores Berkshire&#8217;s confidence in these companies&#8217; future performance. 
The divestment from Ulta Beauty and the trimming of stakes in several major banks suggest a cautious approach towards sectors that may face headwinds in the current economic climate.

Analyst Ratings

Wells Fargo Maintains Equal-Weight on Pool, Lowers Price Target to $360

Pool's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NYSE">POOL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.79% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.89 million shares sold short, which is 8.88% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 7.86 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Pool Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738006222_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Pool has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Pool's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Pool's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.39%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Pool?

Ulta Beauty, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) stock is moving lower Friday after Warren Buffet&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41993666/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-slashes-apple-bofa-holdings-adds-dominos-pizza-in-q3">cut its position in the company. </a>
What To Know: Buffet&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway cut nearly all of its position in the beauty brand, according to Berkshire&#8217;s latest 13F filing.
Berkshire initially reported holding 690,106 shares in Ulta in an August filing. The latest 13F filing, released Thursday, shows its position has been reduced to 24,203 shares, a 96% cut.
The filing also indicates new positions in Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) and Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>). Berkshire acquired 1,277,256 shares of Domino&#8217;s, valued at approximately $549 million, and 404,057 shares of Pool Corp, worth about $152 million.
Furthermore, the filing shows that Berkshire continued to reduce its stake in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>). The August filing represents the company&#8217;s holdings as of June 30, while Thursday&#8217;s filing reports Berkshire&#8217;s holdings as of Sept. 30.
How To Buy Ulta Stock
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Ulta Beauty's case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

ULTA Price Action: At the time of writing, Ulta stock is moving 2.39% lower at $373.24, Domino&#8217;s shares are moving 2.07% higher at $444.98, Pool stock is moving 2.52% higher at $366.51, Bank of America shares are trading 0.86% higher at $46.29, and Apple stock is moving 1.45% lower at $244.88 per data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

What's Going On With Ulta Beauty Shares Friday?

Pool Corp shares are trading higher after a 13F filing showed that Berkshire Hathaway added a new stake.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett cut several of Berkshire Hathaway Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40232279/is-warren-buffett-bearish-or-waiting-to-pounce-berkshire-now-owns-more-t-bills-than-federal-rese">largest holdings this year</a>. 
The Omaha, Nebraska-based holding company&#8217;s latest 13F filing shows that the sell-off trend continues.
What Happened: Berkshire&#8217;s latest 13F filing, filed on Thursday, reflects the company&#8217;s largest holdings as of September 30.
Buffett reduced his stake in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) from 400 million to 300 million shares. Thus, Berkshire has now cut its position in the Cupertino, California-based tech giant by over two-thirds since 2023&#8217;s third quarter.
The Omaha &#8220;oracle&#8221; also continued to cut his stake in Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), trimming back another 23% of Berkshire&#8217;s position.
Berkshire cut nearly all of its position in Ulta Beauty Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>). Buffett <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40385824/warren-buffett-still-holds-400m-apple-shares-reveals-new-investments-in-ulta-beauty-and-heico-el">revealed a position in the cosmetic store chain</a> in August; the company&#8217;s stock has performed roughly even since then. Buffett&#8217;s Ulta holding period was unusually short for the famed value investor.
Meanwhile, Buffett added a couple of fresh faces to Berkshire&#8217;s portfolio.
Buffett bought 1,277,256 shares of Ann Arbor, Michigan-based pizza chain Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>). He also made a foray into pool equipment, buying 404,057 shares of Pool Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>).
Price Action: Investors quickly reacted to Berkshire&#8217;s 13F filing after hours:
<ul>
<li>Dominoes Pizza shares traded up nearly 7%.</li>
<li>Pool Corp shares traded up nearly 6%.</li>
<li>Ulta Beauty shares fell over 4%.</li>
<li>Apple and Bank of America shed insignificant portions of their market value.</li>
</ul>
Why it Matters: During Berkshire&#8217;s annual shareholder meeting in May, Buffett hinted that his sell-offs were a result of tax implications. 
This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40385824/warren-buffett-still-holds-400m-apple-shares-reveals-new-investments-in-ulta-beauty-and-heico-el">has not stopped</a> investors&#8217; conjecture that Buffett is perhaps bearish <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41949068/bitcoin-could-reach-1-million-by-2037-economist-says-buy-of-a-lifetime-opportunity">on the market at large</a>.
Alternatively, Buffett could be simply trimming positions that take up an outsized portion of Berkshire&#8217;s portfolio to reduce exposure.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">전략적 포트폴리오 조정</h2>
버크셔는 뱅크 오브 아메리카 외에도 여러 금융 보유 주식들을 조정했다. 이 문서에 따르면, 버크셔는 씨티그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) 지분의 74%, 캐피탈 원(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) 지분의 18% 및 누 홀딩스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>) 지분의 54%를 매각했다.
또한 차터 커뮤니케이션즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>), 루이지애나-퍼시픽(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPX#NYSE">LPX</a>) 및 T-모바일 US(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>)에 대한 투자도 줄였다. 이러한 변화는 금융 주식과 일부 산업에 대한 투자 비중을 줄이려는 의도를 나타낸다.
동시에 버크셔는 주목할 만한 추가 투자를 하였으며, 인기 있는 맥주 브랜드인 코로나와 모델로로 알려진 컨스텔레이션 브랜드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>)에 12억 달러 지분을 매입했다. 시장 동향에 따라 소비재는 불확실한 경제 상황에서도 안정적인 성과를 보이는 경향이 있어, 이는 보다 안정적인 투자로의 전략적 전환으로 볼 수 있다.
트렌드: &#8216;Scrolling To UBI&#8217; — 딜로이트의 가장 빠르게 성장하는 소프트웨어 회사가 사용자가 휴대폰으로 돈을 벌 수 있게 합니다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">최소 1,000달러로 주당 0.26달러로 오늘 투자할 수 있습니다.</a>
버크셔는 또한 안정적인 소비자 수요와 관련된 기업들의 지분을 늘렸다. 도미노 피자(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>)의 지분이 86% 증가하였고, 풀 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>)에 대한 투자가 48% 증가했다.
이러한 움직임은 시장 상황에 관계없이 여전히 관련성이 있는 사업에 대한 신뢰를 나타낸다. 사람들의 예산이 긴축되든 그렇지 않든, 피자를 주문하고 수영장을 유지하는 것은 여전히 필요하다.
모든 보유 주식이 지속적으로 유지된 것은 아니다. 버크셔는 2분기에 주식을 매입했음에도 불구하고 울타 뷰티(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>)에 대해 완전히 매각하였다.
또한 참고: 많은 사람들이 투자로 유닛을 구매할 때 세금 혜택이 있다는 것을 모릅니다 — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/casa-shares">부동산에 투자하는 방법은 블랙록의 대규모 이동을 모방하는 것입니다.</a>
버크셔는 또한 S&amp;P 500을 추적하는 두 개의 주요 상장지수펀드(ETF)인 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)와 뱅가드 S&amp;P 500 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>)의 보유 지분을 매각하였다. 이는 전체 시장을 따르기보다는 보다 목표 지향적인 접근 방식을 취하겠다는 의도를 나타낸다.
버크셔의 현금 보유액은 사상 최고 수준에 도달했다. <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/3rdqtr24.pdf">재무 보고서</a>에 따르면, 이 회사는 2024년 첫 9개월 동안 약 1,330억 달러 상당의 주식을 매각하고 60억 달러 미만을 매입했다. 주식 매입도 감소하여 이전 4년 동안 거의 700억 달러에 비해 30억 달러 미만이 지출되었다. <a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/news/warren-buffett-dumped-stocks-built-a-dollar300-billion-cash-pile-and-updated-his/pgecrnn">비즈니스 인사이더</a>에 따르면, 이러한 움직임으로 버크셔의 현금 보유액은 처음으로 3,000억 달러를 초과하여 연초 1,680억 달러에서 거의 두 배로 증가했다.

오마하의 현인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/warren-buffett" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">워런 버핏</a>이 다시 한 번 그 일에 나섰다. 그는 좋은 기회를 발견했을 때 그것을 발견하는 방법을 알고 있다는 것을 증명했다. 그의 최근 움직임에서 버핏의 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)는 놀랍지만 전략적인 두 회사에 막대한 투자를 했다. 그 회사들은 바로 도미노피자(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>)와 풀 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>)이다.

<a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1067983/000095012324011775/xslForm13F_X02/primary_doc.xml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">최근 증권거래위원회(SEC)에 제출된 서류</a>에 따르면, 버크셔는 도미노 피자 주식 128만 주를 매입했으며, 이는 3분기 말 기준으로 5억 5천만 달러에 해당한다. 또한 버크셔는 미국에서 수영장 장비 및 용품을 가장 많이 유통하는 회사인 풀 코프의 주식도 40만 주 이상 매입했다.
이 소식이 전해지자 두 회사의 주가도 급등했다. 투자자들이 버핏의 투자에 따른 반응을 보인 것이다. 도미노 피자는 올해 들어 주가가 8.5% 상승했으며, 지난해에는 20% 상승했다. 풀 코프는 올해 들어 주가가 9% 하락했지만, 지난해에는 3.5% 상승했다.
버핏은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/42011977/99-billion-bet-warren-buffett-invests-heavily-in-2-stocks-expected-to-jump-19-and-20-wall-street-analysts-predict" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">브랜드의 가치</a>를 경제적 해자(모든 경쟁자를 차단할 수 있는 강력한 위치)를 가지고 있다고 오랫동안 강조해왔다. 이는 브랜드가 회사의 시장 위치를 경쟁자들로부터 방어한다는 의미이다. &#8220;강력한 브랜드는 강력한 힘이다&#8221;고 버핏이 말한 적이 있다. 도미노 피자와 풀 코프는 모두 이러한 점을 잘 보여준다.
도미노 피자는 효율적인 배달 모델과 인지 가능한 브랜드를 바탕으로 제국을 구축했다. 도미노 피자는 미국에서 가장 큰 피자 체인이다. 3분기 실적에서 매출 기대치를 하회했음에도 불구하고, 회사는 수익성에 대한 월스트리트의 예상을 초과 달성하며 계속해서 회복력을 보여주고 있다. 최근 루프 캐피털(Loop Capital)과 같은 애널리스트들이 주식을 상향 조정하고, 같은 매장 매출이 증가하고 있는 신호를 보았다.
풀 코프는 틈새 시장에서의 지배적인 시장 점유율로 혜택을 보고 있다. 수영장 건설에 대한 재량 지출이 줄어들더라도, 회사는 유지보수 제품에 대한 높은 수요를 계속해서 보고 있어 안정적인 수익을 발생시킨다. 오펜하이머(Oppenheimer)는 최근 분기 실적이 예상치를 초과한 후 풀 코프의 목표 주가를 상향 조정했다.
&#8220;그는 믿을 수 없을 만큼 좋은 기회가 나타나지 않는 한 투자하지 않는다&#8221;라고 마이크로소프트 공동 창립자 빌 게이츠가 버핏에 대해 언급한 바 있다. 이러한 투자들은 바로 그런 접근 방식에 완벽하게 부합한다. 도미노 피자와 풀 코프는 지속적인 매력과 일관된 수요를 보여주며, 이는 버크셔의 포트폴리오 전략의 핵심 요소이다.
최근의 이러한 움직임은 고전적인 버핏의 투자 스타일로, 견고한 기본 요소와 장기 성장 잠재력을 가진 비즈니스에 집중하고 있다. 피자 배달이든 수영장 유지보수든, 버핏은 시장의 가장 기이한 구석에서도 &#8220;믿을 수 없을 만큼 좋은&#8221; 기회가 있다는 것을 보여주었다.

워런 버핏이 '믿을 수 없을 만큼 좋은' 기회로 도미노 피자와 풀 코프의 구매했던 이유?

억만장자 투자자 워런 버핏이 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40232279/is-warren-buffett-bearish-or-waiting-to-pounce-berkshire-now-owns-more-t-bills-than-federal-rese">가장 큰 보유 주식들</a>을 줄였다.
네브래스카 주 오마하에 본사를 둔 이 지주회사의 최신 13F 서류는 매도세가 계속되고 있음을 보여준다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 버핏이 목요일에 제출한 버크셔의 최신 13F 서류는 9월 30일 기준 이 회사의 가장 큰 보유 주식을 반영한다.
버핏은 애플(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)에 대한 보유량을 4억 주에서 3억 주로 줄였다. 따라서 버크셔는 2023년 3분기 이후로 애플에 대한 보유 비중을 3분의 2 이상 줄였다.
오마하의 &#8220;현인&#8221;은 또한 뱅크 오브 아메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>)에 대한 지분도 23% 추가로 줄였다.
버크셔는 울타 뷰티(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>)에 대한 거의 모든 지분을 매도했다. 버핏은 8월에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40385824/warren-buffett-still-holds-400m-apple-shares-reveals-new-investments-in-ulta-beauty-and-heico-el" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">이 화장품 매장 체인에 대한 보유를 공개</a>했지만, 그 이후 주가가 대체로 비슷하게 유지되었다. 버핏의 울타 보유 기간은 이 유명한 가치 투자자에게는 이례적으로 짧았다.
한편, 버핏은 버크셔의 포트폴리오에 몇 가지 새로운 종목을 추가했다.
버핏은 미시간주 앤아버에 본사를 둔 피자 체인 도미노피자(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>)의 주식 1,277,256 주를 매입했다. 그는 또한 수영장 장비에 대한 진출을 시도하며 풀 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>)의 주식 404,057 주를 매입했다.
가격 변동: 투자자들은 버크셔의 13F 서류 제출 후에 즉각적으로 반응했다:
<ul>
<li>도미노피자 주식은 거의 7% 상승했다.</li>
<li>풀 코퍼레이션 주식은 거의 6% 상승했다.</li>
<li>울타 뷰티 주식은 4% 이상 하락했다.</li>
<li>애플과 뱅크 오브 아메리카는 시장 가치의 미미한 부분을 잃었다.</li>
</ul>
왜 중요한가 (Why it Matters): 버크셔의 연례 주주 총회에서 버핏은 매각이 세금 문제 때문이라고 암시했다.
이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40385824/warren-buffett-still-holds-400m-apple-shares-reveals-new-investments-in-ulta-beauty-and-heico-el">것은</a> 투자자들이 버핏이 시장 전체에 대해 비관적일 수 있다고 추측하는 것을 막지 못했다.
또는 버핏이 단순히 버크셔의 포트폴리오에서 비중이 큰 종목의 비중을 줄여 노출을 감소시키고 있을 수도 있다.
