Warren Buffett's Investments Amid Iran-Rattled Market
Warren Buffett has resumed Berkshire Hathaway's share buybacks, citing the stock price's drop below intrinsic value. The Berkshire chief has invested in Occidental Petroleum and Chevron, which are benefiting from the Iran conflict's surge in crude prices.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has resumed its share buyback program after a 13-quarter hiatus, signaling that the current stock price has fallen below its intrinsic value . New CEO Greg Abel collaborated with Buffett on the buyback plan.
The Berkshire chairman's other key investment move this week has been in oil stocks, particularly Occidental Petroleum and Chevron . He holds a 27% stake in Occidental and 6.5% in Chevron. During a market crisis like the present one, these stocks appear to be a safer bet according to Buffett's thesis.
As the Iran conflict escalates, crude oil prices have risen sharply, favoring the oil majors with well-positioned, low-debt portfolios like Occidental and Chevron. Buffett's strategic investment is paying off, and these stocks' free cash flow is substantial at current prices.
