TODAY'S FEATURED STOCK STORY Four times a year, holding companies of a certain size are required to divulge their positions in equities. That's a great thing for followers of Warren Buffett, widely considered the greatest long-term investor of all time. His company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (ticker: BRK.B, BRK.A), which he still helms at age 92, owns a sprawling equities portfolio that directly reflects what stocks Buffett likes.
Although investors don't have an up-to-the-minute reflection of what Berkshire owns, the company's 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Aug. 15 reveals the complete Berkshire Hathaway portfolio as of June 30.
There were three additions to Berkshire Hathaway's stock holdings in the second quarter of 2023:
Lennar Corp. (LEN). Buffett made a big splash in the homebuilder market in the second quarter, and Lennar was part of his spending spree. Homebuilder stocks are a classic Buffett value play, and Lennar's shares trade at just 7.9 times forward earnings. Berkshire purchased a $17.2 million stake in LEN shares in the second quarter.
NVR Inc. (NVR). NVR is one of the five largest U.S. homebuilders and is another one of the three new homebuilder stocks Buffett acquired in the second quarter. Buffett clearly sees the lack of U.S. housing inventory as a bullish indicator for homebuilders, and he scooped up $70.6 million worth of NVR stock last quarter.
D.R. Horton Inc. (DHI). The largest new holding of Berkshire's is D.R. Horton, one of the largest publicly traded U.S. homebuilders based on market capitalization, homes delivered and revenue. The Oracle of Omaha is taking a diversified approach to the U.S. homebuilder market, acquiring a $726.5 million stake in D.R. Horton.
