Warren Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B), has become a significant draw for investors, with tens of thousands attending its annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, each May. Under Buffett’s leadership since 1965, Berkshire has grown into a conglomerate valued at approximately $1 trillion, achieving an average annual return of 19.8%, compared to 10.2% for the S&P 500 during the same period.
Berkshire Hathaway includes ownership of companies such as GEICO, Benjamin Moore, and BNSF railroad, in addition to investments in major firms like Apple, American Express, and Coca-Cola. Despite Berkshire’s recent decision to sell shares of Apple and Bank of America, investors are still eager to emulate Buffett’s investment strategies.
As of September 30, Berkshire’s top holdings included Apple, American Express, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, and Chevron. The company continues to be a focal point for those looking to invest alongside Buffett and his team, which also includes investment managers Ted Weschler and Todd Combs.
