Here are Warren Buffett’s top 13 favorite stocks
Warren Buffett,
the leader of Berkshire Hathaway,
is a long-time value investor who looks to invest in companies that are undervalued by the market.
This year, however, Berkshire’s
used some of its record $128 billion cash pile to expand equity holdings instead of buy companies.
That’s because “prices are sky-high for businesses possessing decent long-term prospects,” Buffett wrote in his 2018 annual shareholder letter. It’s made it difficult for Buffett to finalize any acquisitions.
Here are his top 13 stock holdings according to SEC filings.
