    The Berkshire Hathaway Portfolio: All 48 Buffett Stocks

    When folks think of the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) portfolio and its collection of holdings, most of which were selected by Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett, the companies that most readily come to mind are probably American Express (AXP), Coca-Cola (KO) and, more recently, Apple (AAPL).But a deep dive into Berkshire Hathaway's equity holdings reveals a more complicated picture.Berkshire Hathaway held positions in 48 separate stocks as of March 31, according to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. But the portfolio of "Buffett stocks" isn't as diversified as the number might suggest. In some cases, BRK.B holds more than one share class in the same company. Some holdings are so small as to be immaterial leftovers from earlier bets the Oracle of Omaha has yet to completely exit.And perhaps most importantly, Berkshire Hathaway's equity portfolio is actually pretty concentrated. The top six holdings account for almost 70% of the portfolio's total value. The top 10 positions comprise nearly 80%. Banks and airlines, to cite a couple of sectors, carry quite a load in this portfolio. Then there's the fact that several Buffett stocks actually were picked by portfolio managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler.Here, we examine each and every holding to give investors a better understanding of the entire Berkshire Hathaway portfolio.

    RPT-India set to levy higher tariffs on some U.S. goods next week - sources

    India is preparing to impose higher tariffs on some U.S. goods including almonds, walnuts and apples next week after a delay of about a year, two sources said, following Washington's withdrawal of key trade privileges for New Delhi. From June 5, President Donald Trump scrapped trade privileges under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) for India, the biggest beneficiary of a scheme that allowed duty-free exports of up to $5.6 billion from the country. India is now looking at adopting the higher tariffs, the sources with direct knowledge of the matter said, although the U.S. has warned that any retaliatory tariffs by India would not be "appropriate" under WTO rules.

    Visa Stock May Not Be the Best Credit-Card Name

    The dominance of the Visa (NYSE:V) payment network continues to drive volumes and market share to the company. In this increasingly important industry, Visa stock is benefiting from the fact that its payment network processes about 61.2% of U.S. transactions.In a world that's using less cash, the credit-card industry will prosper, enabling Visa stock to remain a winner over the long-term. However, the question about V stock is not if it will go up, but if it remains a better buy than its peers. * 7 Dark Horse Stocks Winning the Race in 2019 Visa Stock Will Rise With Its IndustryIt's steady as she goes for Visa stock. Bolstered by the company's dominant market share and the continuing march towards a cashless society, V stock is continuing its slow, sustained move higher. After flirting with single-digit prices during the 2008 financial crisis, it began to move steadily higher. Today, it has risen more than 15-fold since that time. The Visa stock price has now surged to around $170.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsAs both myself and others have pointed out, Visa stock remains pricey. The company's growth and favorable business conditions have taken the forward price-earnings (PE) ratio of V stock above 27.4. However, the average PE ratio of V stock over the last five years is 32.9. Estimated earnings growth of 16.5% this year and its average earnings increase of 20.84% per year over the previous five years has helped to support the high multiples of V stock.Moreover, even market selloffs have resulted in relatively mild pullbacks by V stock. Between late September and the week of Christmas, Visa stock price fell by a little bit less than 20%. However, its PE ratio remained well in the 20s during that time. Also, like most stocks, it quickly recovered. For this reason, I would not expect any significant declines in Visa stock price anytime soon. Given these factors, the long-term owners of V stock should continue to hold onto their shares. Moreover, even at these levels, those buying V stock face few risks. Visa Stock Versus Its PeersThe only reason to not buy Visa stock may involve how well it compares to its key peers. Given the potential growth of cashless payments throughout the world, Mastercard (NYSE:MA), American Express (NYSE:AXP), and Discover Financial (NYSE:DFS) should also generate double-digit profit growth, despite their smaller market shares.However, after looking at card stocks' PE ratios and growth rates, it becomes clear that the market has been willing to support higher price-to-earnings-to growth (PEG) ratios for companies with higher market shares. Visa stock supports a PEG ratio of 1.9 versus only 1.75 for Mastercard. However, for this year, analysts, on average, predict Mastercard will report earnings growth of 17.4% versus only 16.5% for Visa. American Express, long a Warren Buffett favorite, trades at a PEG ratio of 1.57. AXP's expected profit growth comes in at only 10.8%. However, it has a much lower forward PE of around 13.5.Still, it is Discover Financial whose valuation stands out. Its PEG ratio comes in at only 0.7. It also supports a forward PE ratio of only about 8.2. Despite this single-digit multiple, analysts expect its profit to rise 12.4% this year.In some respects, DFS stock is cheap for a reason. It holds only a 2.2% share of card volumes, a decline from 2.3% last year. Visa remains the dominant player in this area, holding steady at 61.2%. However, in the current environment, all payment card companies will prosper.Moreover, since 2005, DFS has partnered with UnionPay, the dominant payment network in China. From a worldwide standpoint, UnionPay comes in second to only Visa on card volumes. The U.S.-China trade war may add a degree of uncertainty. However, with such an ally, DFS should continue to grow. The Bottom Line on Visa StockVisa stock will rise over the long-term, but some of its peers may fare better on a relative basis. V stock will likely remain expensive, but no major challenges have emerged to its dominance in the U.S. or to its double-digit earnings increases.When it comes to PEG ratios, Visa stock holds up well, slightly besting Mastercard and coming in only slightly higher than American Express's ratio. Still, value investors will find Discover Financial stock to be a relative bargain, as it could help a growing, China-based peer enter the U.S. market.As a result, investors who don't want to pay the high multiple carried by V stock have other choices. However,the owners of V stock will continue to benefit from Visa's U.S. dominance and the continuing move to a more cashless society.As of this writing, Will Healy did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned stocks.

    Dow Jones Today: Financial Stocks Chip In

    The major U.S. equity indexes extending their winning streaks Monday as stocks rallied on news that the U.S. and Mexico are averting a tariff crisis and intensifying speculation that following last Friday's slack May jobs report, the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates later this year.Source: Shutterstock To start the week, the S&P 500 climbed 0.47% while the Nasdaq Composite added 1.05%. The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average extended its winning ways, jumping 0.3% on Monday.In late trading, more than two-thirds of the Dow's 30 components were trading higher. Industrial conglomerate United Technologies (NYSE:UTX), however, was not one of those names. The defense contractor tumbled over 3% on more than triple the average daily volume on news its is looking to acquire rival Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) in a deal valued at $121 billion.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsUnited Technologies recently announced plans to spin off its elevator and heating and air conditioning businesses, prompting some market observers to characterize the offer for Raytheon, in which United Technologies is offering 2.33 shares for each Raytheon, as unusual. However, Seaport Global raised its rating on United Technologies to "buy" from "neutral" today.Additionally, there is already speculation that the Donald Trump Administration, which has been mostly friendly toward the aerospace and defense industry, has antitrust concerns about the potential marriage of these two companies. * 7 Stocks to Buy As They Hit 52-Week Lows "The deal will be reviewed by either the Justice Department or the Federal Trade Commission to ensure that it complies with antitrust law," according to Reuters. Fun With FinancialsFinancial services is the third-largest sector weight in the Dow and the S&P 500, so it was to investors' benefit to see some of those names contributing to Monday's upside. In late trading, three of the Dow's top four percentage gainers were financial services names.JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), the largest U.S. bank, rose 1.06% after CEO Jamie Dimon, one of the most widely voices in the banking industry, compared his company to Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) in a recent Barron's interview.Dimon told the financial magazine that the bank has a lot of "subscription-like businesses" and that its earnings volatility, over time, is low. He added that the bank plans to boost its dividend following the release of the Fed's stress test results.Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), the largest financial services stock in the Dow, was the blue-chip index's top percentage gainer today, adding 2.26%. Aside from reports that Goldman was Saudi Arabia's leading brokerage firm last month, there was not a lot of company-specific news pertaining to the name today.On essentially no news other than its home sector and the broader market climbing, American Express (NYSE:AXP) added 1.3% to hit a new 52-week high. The stock is up more than 27% year-to-date. Bottom Line on the Dow Jones TodayFor investors tired of tariff talk, Monday brought a step in the right direction as the U.S. and Mexico continued making nice on the trade front. How, or if, this affects the U.S./China trade dispute is another matter altogether.On Monday, President Trump threatened to levy more tariffs on Chinese imports if his counterpart, President Xi Jinping, does not attend the G-20 meeting in Japan later this month. Trump believes the two sides will eventually reach some type of trade deal and that the U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will be the catalyst for getting that deal done.Trump added that it was the threat of tariffs that facilitated a favorable outcome with Mexico on trade. The president also renewed his criticism of the Fed, stoking speculation that the central bank will acquiesce to the president's comments and lower interest rates this year.As of this writing, Todd Shriber did not own any of the aforementioned securities.
