Warren Buffett Breaks 6-Year Streak Of Berkshire Hathaway Stock Buybacks, Say ‘It’s Too Expensive’
Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett recently ended a six-year streak of stock buybacks for the company. While the company regularly participates in stock buybacks, it did not do so during the third quarter, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Despite having over $325 billion in cash reserves, Buffett opted not to use that cash to buy back shares, suggesting that he believes the stock is too expensive.
Don’t Miss:
Buffett’s approach to stock buybacks is straightforward: he only buys back shares when he considers them a “bargain.” According to Berkshire Hathaway’s regulatory filings, he looks for a stock price below the company’s intrinsic value – a conservative measure considering the long-term worth of Berkshire’s assets. Analysts believe the absence of buybacks sends a clear message to the market: Berkshire’s stock is overvalued at its current price.
Berkshire Hathaway‘s Class A shares are trading around 1.6 times their book value, representing the company’s assets once debts are subtracted. In the past, Berkshire has avoided buybacks when the stock traded above 1.2 times its book value, but that guideline was dropped in 2018.
Trending: Warren Buffett once said, “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.” These high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% – 9% make earning passive income easier than ever.
Buffett’s conservative investment philosophy remains firm even with a more flexible policy. Robert Korajczyk, a finance professor at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, explained to CNN, “He’s been very clear that they would never buy back shares if they thought that the firm was overvalued.”
In addition to ending its buyback streak, Berkshire increased its already significant cash holdings by selling stocks in the third quarter. Some analysts took this as a cautionary move due to concerns about the current market environment.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.
NYU Stern School of Business professor Aswath Damodaran told CNN that Buffett’s decision to hold cash suggests Berkshire is taking a conservative stance, likely due to high stock prices. “It’s a signal that they feel cautious about where the market is,” Damodaran said. “They’ve become cautious because they think the market is richly priced.”
US stocks traded mixed in early trading on Wednesday as investors weighed fresh consumer inflation data that looked to keep the Federal Reserve on pace for another rate cut next month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose just around 0.1%, coming off a steep slide as stocks closed lower across the board. Both the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) fell into the red after initially rising earlier in the session, down about 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively.
Consumer prices rose largely as forecast in October, with the Consumer Price Index rising 2.6% year over year and 0.2% on a month-over-month basis, both meeting forecasts. Rises in “core” inflation — of 3.3% year over year and 0.3% month over month — also met estimates.
Inflation has taken center stage again after the post-election rip higher hit a wall. The FOMO market lost some mojo Tuesday as it ponders whether President-elect Donald Trump’s policies could boost inflation as well as the economy. That has helped push Treasury yields higher, promising higher borrowing costs all around.
The report appears to keep the Federal Reserve on track for a December rate cut. Minneapolis Fed president Neel Kashkari told Yahoo Finance that inflation data was the key focus for the central bank in the weeks ahead, saying at Yahoo Finance’s Invest conference that any surprise to the upside “might give us pause.”
According to the CME FedWatch tool, 80% of traders expect a rate cut in December.
Meanwhile, Trump has named Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk to co-lead a new Department of Government Efficiency — another challenge for analysts trying to assess the EV maker’s prospects. The incoming president’s picks for his cabinet are also being closely watched for impact on his policies and the economy, though DOGE is not an government agency.
Tesla’s stock erased earlier gains as shares attempt a comeback from a 6% fall on Tuesday. Meanwhile, shares of Rivian (RIVN) jumped double digits after Volkswagen raised its investment in the rival electric carmaker to $5.8 billion.
