Amazon: A Winner Emerges","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179007770","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryAlibaba and Amazon are both great companies in an industry that's experiencing temporary head","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Alibaba and Amazon are both great companies in an industry that&#39;s experiencing temporary headwinds.</li><li>E-commerce over-earned in 2020 and 2021 and is now paying the price for it.</li><li>Alibaba is cheaper, more profitable, and faster-growing than Amazon.</li><li>However, Amazon faces less political risk.</li><li>In this article, I explore these and other factors to determine which of the two e-commerce giants is a better buy.</li></ul><p><b>Alibaba</b>(NYSE:BABA) and <b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN) are two of the undisputed leaders of the e-commerce industry. BABA is the top e-commerce platform in China by profit, while Amazon is#1 in the U.S.by revenue as well as profit. Beyond the fact that they have similar core businesses, both Amazon and Alibaba also have cloud computing segments. The cloud has been a big profit driver for Amazon, whose core e-commerce business isn’t always profitable, and Alibaba is making big moves in the space too.</p><p>Despite the similarities between Alibaba and Amazon, there are big differences as well. Amazon sells goods directly, while Alibaba relies almost exclusively on third parties. Amazon’s biggest market is the United States, Alibaba’s is China. Amazon’s cloud business is a huge profit driver, Alibaba’s e-commerce business subsidizes the cloud.</p><p>There are enough differences between Amazon and Alibaba to make the comparison less than “apples to apples.” However, these two companies are the biggest e-commerce players in the world’s first and second largest economies. So, they are worth comparing.</p><p>The comparison is fairly interesting, too. Alibaba has both a cheaper valuation and faster revenue growth than Amazon, which would theoretically make it a better buy. However, Amazon faces less political risk than Alibaba does, which justifies some sort of a premium. The question, then, is whether Amazon’s valuation premium relative to Alibaba is too large, too small, or just the right size. In this article, I will argue that it is too large, and that BABA is the better buy out of these stocks at today’s prices.</p><p><b>Amazon and Alibaba: Competitors?</b></p><p>The first thing we need to know when looking at Amazon and Alibaba side by side is whether the two companies are competitors. They’re in the same industry, but in different regions. So the degree of competition is hard to gauge.</p><p>Generally, if you search online for a list of Amazon competitors, you’ll see Alibaba listed among them. For example, a <b>Shopify</b>(SHOP) blog post names Alibabain its list of companies that compete with Amazon. Many other sources online report the same thing.</p><p>There may be some competition between Amazon and Alibaba in some markets, but it’s pretty limited. In the U.S., the two companies actually have a symbiotic relationship. Alibaba is a huge source of bulk goods that drop shippers sell on Amazon, Shopify and <b>eBay</b>(EBAY). So Amazon and Alibaba can feed off each other&#39;s success in the United States.</p><p>As far as China goes: there’s little meaningful competition between Amazon and Alibaba there. Amazon exited direct selling in China in 2019, and now only does cross-border shipping. Shipping from the U.S. to China takes11-20 business days for consumer packages, which creates a barrier to Amazon gaining significant market share in China.</p><p><b>Financials</b></p><p>Alibaba and Amazon are both large, established tech companies. In recent years, BABA’s growth has been faster than Amazon’s, though it decelerated a lot in the last two quarters. Below you’ll find a table with some select financial metrics for Amazon and Alibaba side by side. As you can see, BABA generally has the higher growth rates of the two companies, but not by a lot.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7297f6973d96d7f1c681640e3b28afcd\" tg-width=\"632\" tg-height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>As the table shows, BABA’s growth is faster than AMZN’s on the top line, and the decline is less severe on two out of four bottom line metrics. Although BABA’s earnings decline was more severe than Amazon’s, BABA managed to retain positive FCF in the TTM period, while Amazon didn’t. BABA also had the less severe decline in operating income/EBIT.</p><p>We can also calculate some profit metrics from the above figures. They are shown in the table below.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/096cebe510afefb9b7817a44624e043f\" tg-width=\"632\" tg-height=\"229\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Again, the comparison favors Alibaba. Amazon only beats Alibaba on one profit metric (gross margin), but its win there is small. Meanwhile, BABA doubles AMZN’s EBIT margin, nearly doubles the net margin, and has a positive FCF margin. On profitability, Alibaba takes home the gold.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Having looked at Amazon and Alibaba’s financials, we can turn to their valuations. On this factor, there really is no comparison: BABA is cheaper than AMZN by a country mile. Its key multiples are all lower than Amazon’s, and it comes out with more upside in a DCF model.</p><p>In the table below, I’ve compiled some valuation measures for AMZN and BABA using Seeking Alpha Quant. BABA is cheaper than AMZN on every single one.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e670b7e0fab330f4f1835c4bf4f5f35b\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"308\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Not only are BABA’s multiples lower than Amazon’s, many of them are in true value territory. Earnings and cash flow multiples around 12 are not much higher than what bank stocks trade at, yet BABA is a tech giant with 40% five-year annualized revenue growth. It looks like a bargain, and the comparison to AMZN is favorable.</p><p>It’s also possible to compare Amazon and Alibaba using a discounted cash flow analysis. In a recent article, I did a DCF valuation of BABA using the 10-year Treasury yield as the discount rate, and got a $253 fair value. The yield hasn’t changed since I wrote that article, so that valuation still stands. I will say that Alibaba stock is generally considered risky, and if you throw a 3% risk premium on top of the discount rate I used, you only get $119. That’s still upside, but not a whole lot.</p><p>Amazon’s DCF valuation is a more complicated topic. If you use a 3% discount rate and assume that the 3-year CAGR earnings growth rate of 20% continues over the next five years before slowing to 0%, you get to $165. That’s upside to today’s price, but less upside than my BABA model, even though the BABA model assumes way less growth. If BABA goes to $250 it rises 140%. If AMZN goes to $165, it rises just 35%. So if we can use the same discount rate for Amazon and BABA, BABA is worth more, even with far more conservative growth assumptions. With that said, Alibaba is exposed to considerable political risk, so there’s a case to be made for using a higher discount rate for BABA than for AMZN.</p><p><b>Long-Term Business Outlook</b></p><p>Having looked at historical factors, we can turn to the long-term business outlook for Amazon and Alibaba. Everything I’ve written about these two stocks assumes that they can return to positive earnings growth in the future, so we need to gauge whether that’s the case.</p><p>First, we can look at industry prospects on a worldwide basis. Valuates Report forecasts that e-commerce will grow at 17.4% CAGR to 2028. Other forecasters offer similar estimates. That sounds nice, but it isn’t consistent with what&#39;s happening this year. Amazon, Alibaba, and Shopify all saw significant deceleration this year. Growth should pick up again in the future, but I’m not sure that Valuates’ rosy forecast will be hit. The COVID-19 pandemic was a huge tailwind for e-commerce firms in 2020 and 2021, pulling revenue growth forward. We can expect the industry to grow in the future, but not as much as in the recent past.</p><p>Next, we can look at growth in the markets Amazon and Alibaba serve. Both the U.S. and China have decent historical GDP growth, but China’s growth is faster. America’s10-year compound GDP growth is 2.1%. China’s is 6%. China’s growth could be cut in half, and it would still be faster than the U.S. So, BABA takes the nod on growth in the key market.</p><p>Alibaba and Amazon face similar amounts of competition. Amazon is up against Shopify, eBay and <b>Walmart</b>(WMT); Alibaba has <b>JD</b>(JD) and <b>Pinduoduo</b>(PDD). The number and size of major competitors is similar for both companies. Given the similarity of the competitive dynamics Amazon and Alibaba face, it looks like China’s edge in economic growth gives BABA an edge in long-term business outlook.</p><p><b>One Big Risk</b></p><p>All of the factors I’ve looked at so far favor Alibaba over Amazon. The former company wins on growth, profitability and valuation, the latter on none of the factors I’ve looked at. It seems like an open and shut case. However, there is one factor that does give Amazon an edge:</p><p><i>Political risk.</i></p><p>Currently, Alibaba is exposed to a rather enormous number of political risks, including:</p><ul><li><p>Renewed fines.</p></li><li><p>A data leak that’s being investigated by China’s government.</p></li><li><p>The possibility of being delisted from the NYSE.</p></li></ul><p>It’s impossible to put a numerical value on risks like these, but they are real. Fines, for example, took a $2.8 billion bite out of BABA’s net income in calendar 2021.

BABA is the top e-commerce platform in China by profit, while Amazon is#1 in the U.S.by revenue as well as profit. Beyond the fact that they have similar core businesses, both Amazon and Alibaba also have cloud computing segments. The cloud has been a big profit driver for Amazon, whose core e-commerce business isn’t always profitable, and Alibaba is making big moves in the space too.Despite the similarities between Alibaba and Amazon, there are big differences as well. Amazon sells goods directly, while Alibaba relies almost exclusively on third parties. Amazon’s biggest market is the United States, Alibaba’s is China. Amazon’s cloud business is a huge profit driver, Alibaba’s e-commerce business subsidizes the cloud.There are enough differences between Amazon and Alibaba to make the comparison less than “apples to apples.” However, these two companies are the biggest e-commerce players in the world’s first and second largest economies. So, they are worth comparing.The comparison is fairly interesting, too. Alibaba has both a cheaper valuation and faster revenue growth than Amazon, which would theoretically make it a better buy. However, Amazon faces less political risk than Alibaba does, which justifies some sort of a premium. The question, then, is whether Amazon’s valuation premium relative to Alibaba is too large, too small, or just the right size. In this article, I will argue that it is too large, and that BABA is the better buy out of these stocks at today’s prices.Amazon and Alibaba: Competitors?The first thing we need to know when looking at Amazon and Alibaba side by side is whether the two companies are competitors. They’re in the same industry, but in different regions. So the degree of competition is hard to gauge.Generally, if you search online for a list of Amazon competitors, you’ll see Alibaba listed among them. For example, a Shopify(SHOP) blog post names Alibabain its list of companies that compete with Amazon. Many other sources online report the same thing.There may be some competition between Amazon and Alibaba in some markets, but it’s pretty limited. In the U.S., the two companies actually have a symbiotic relationship. Alibaba is a huge source of bulk goods that drop shippers sell on Amazon, Shopify and eBay(EBAY). So Amazon and Alibaba can feed off each other's success in the United States.As far as China goes: there’s little meaningful competition between Amazon and Alibaba there. Amazon exited direct selling in China in 2019, and now only does cross-border shipping. Shipping from the U.S. to China takes11-20 business days for consumer packages, which creates a barrier to Amazon gaining significant market share in China.FinancialsAlibaba and Amazon are both large, established tech companies. In recent years, BABA’s growth has been faster than Amazon’s, though it decelerated a lot in the last two quarters. Below you’ll find a table with some select financial metrics for Amazon and Alibaba side by side. As you can see, BABA generally has the higher growth rates of the two companies, but not by a lot.As the table shows, BABA’s growth is faster than AMZN’s on the top line, and the decline is less severe on two out of four bottom line metrics. Although BABA’s earnings decline was more severe than Amazon’s, BABA managed to retain positive FCF in the TTM period, while Amazon didn’t. BABA also had the less severe decline in operating income/EBIT.We can also calculate some profit metrics from the above figures. They are shown in the table below.Again, the comparison favors Alibaba. Amazon only beats Alibaba on one profit metric (gross margin), but its win there is small. Meanwhile, BABA doubles AMZN’s EBIT margin, nearly doubles the net margin, and has a positive FCF margin. On profitability, Alibaba takes home the gold.ValuationHaving looked at Amazon and Alibaba’s financials, we can turn to their valuations. On this factor, there really is no comparison: BABA is cheaper than AMZN by a country mile. Its key multiples are all lower than Amazon’s, and it comes out with more upside in a DCF model.In the table below, I’ve compiled some valuation measures for AMZN and BABA using Seeking Alpha Quant. BABA is cheaper than AMZN on every single one.Not only are BABA’s multiples lower than Amazon’s, many of them are in true value territory. Earnings and cash flow multiples around 12 are not much higher than what bank stocks trade at, yet BABA is a tech giant with 40% five-year annualized revenue growth. It looks like a bargain, and the comparison to AMZN is favorable.It’s also possible to compare Amazon and Alibaba using a discounted cash flow analysis. In a recent article, I did a DCF valuation of BABA using the 10-year Treasury yield as the discount rate, and got a $253 fair value. The yield hasn’t changed since I wrote that article, so that valuation still stands. I will say that Alibaba stock is generally considered risky, and if you throw a 3% risk premium on top of the discount rate I used, you only get $119. That’s still upside, but not a whole lot.Amazon’s DCF valuation is a more complicated topic. If you use a 3% discount rate and assume that the 3-year CAGR earnings growth rate of 20% continues over the next five years before slowing to 0%, you get to $165. That’s upside to today’s price, but less upside than my BABA model, even though the BABA model assumes way less growth. If BABA goes to $250 it rises 140%. If AMZN goes to $165, it rises just 35%. So if we can use the same discount rate for Amazon and BABA, BABA is worth more, even with far more conservative growth assumptions. With that said, Alibaba is exposed to considerable political risk, so there’s a case to be made for using a higher discount rate for BABA than for AMZN.Long-Term Business OutlookHaving looked at historical factors, we can turn to the long-term business outlook for Amazon and Alibaba. Everything I’ve written about these two stocks assumes that they can return to positive earnings growth in the future, so we need to gauge whether that’s the case.First, we can look at industry prospects on a worldwide basis. Valuates Report forecasts that e-commerce will grow at 17.4% CAGR to 2028. Other forecasters offer similar estimates. That sounds nice, but it isn’t consistent with what's happening this year. Amazon, Alibaba, and Shopify all saw significant deceleration this year. Growth should pick up again in the future, but I’m not sure that Valuates’ rosy forecast will be hit. The COVID-19 pandemic was a huge tailwind for e-commerce firms in 2020 and 2021, pulling revenue growth forward. We can expect the industry to grow in the future, but not as much as in the recent past.Next, we can look at growth in the markets Amazon and Alibaba serve. Both the U.S. and China have decent historical GDP growth, but China’s growth is faster. America’s10-year compound GDP growth is 2.1%. China’s is 6%. China’s growth could be cut in half, and it would still be faster than the U.S. So, BABA takes the nod on growth in the key market.Alibaba and Amazon face similar amounts of competition. Amazon is up against Shopify, eBay and Walmart(WMT); Alibaba has JD(JD) and Pinduoduo(PDD). The number and size of major competitors is similar for both companies. Given the similarity of the competitive dynamics Amazon and Alibaba face, it looks like China’s edge in economic growth gives BABA an edge in long-term business outlook.One Big RiskAll of the factors I’ve looked at so far favor Alibaba over Amazon. The former company wins on growth, profitability and valuation, the latter on none of the factors I’ve looked at. It seems like an open and shut case. However, there is one factor that does give Amazon an edge:Political risk.Currently, Alibaba is exposed to a rather enormous number of political risks, including:Renewed fines.A data leak that’s being investigated by China’s government.The possibility of being delisted from the NYSE.It’s impossible to put a numerical value on risks like these, but they are real. Fines, for example, took a $2.8 billion bite out of BABA’s net income in calendar 2021. So the risks aren’t idle talk: they are materializing, and affecting fundamentals.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1451,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9077189345,"gmtCreate":1658467776188,"gmtModify":1676536164328,"author":{"id":"3574889239987561","authorId":"3574889239987561","name":"Gamestonk11","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57d87914fd79b0fd11508b722d7f4e19","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574889239987561","authorIdStr":"3574889239987561"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"1","listText":"1","text":"1","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9077189345","repostId":"1179007770","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179007770","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1658461924,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1179007770?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2022-07-22 11:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Vs.

BABA is the top e-commerce platform in China by profit, while Amazon is#1 in the U.S.by revenue as well as profit. Beyond the fact that they have similar core businesses, both Amazon and Alibaba also have cloud computing segments. The cloud has been a big profit driver for Amazon, whose core e-commerce business isn’t always profitable, and Alibaba is making big moves in the space too.Despite the similarities between Alibaba and Amazon, there are big differences as well. Amazon sells goods directly, while Alibaba relies almost exclusively on third parties. Amazon’s biggest market is the United States, Alibaba’s is China. Amazon’s cloud business is a huge profit driver, Alibaba’s e-commerce business subsidizes the cloud.There are enough differences between Amazon and Alibaba to make the comparison less than “apples to apples.” However, these two companies are the biggest e-commerce players in the world’s first and second largest economies. So, they are worth comparing.The comparison is fairly interesting, too. Alibaba has both a cheaper valuation and faster revenue growth than Amazon, which would theoretically make it a better buy. However, Amazon faces less political risk than Alibaba does, which justifies some sort of a premium. The question, then, is whether Amazon’s valuation premium relative to Alibaba is too large, too small, or just the right size. In this article, I will argue that it is too large, and that BABA is the better buy out of these stocks at today’s prices.Amazon and Alibaba: Competitors?The first thing we need to know when looking at Amazon and Alibaba side by side is whether the two companies are competitors. They’re in the same industry, but in different regions. So the degree of competition is hard to gauge.Generally, if you search online for a list of Amazon competitors, you’ll see Alibaba listed among them. For example, a Shopify(SHOP) blog post names Alibabain its list of companies that compete with Amazon. Many other sources online report the same thing.There may be some competition between Amazon and Alibaba in some markets, but it’s pretty limited. In the U.S., the two companies actually have a symbiotic relationship. Alibaba is a huge source of bulk goods that drop shippers sell on Amazon, Shopify and eBay(EBAY). So Amazon and Alibaba can feed off each other's success in the United States.As far as China goes: there’s little meaningful competition between Amazon and Alibaba there. Amazon exited direct selling in China in 2019, and now only does cross-border shipping. Shipping from the U.S. to China takes11-20 business days for consumer packages, which creates a barrier to Amazon gaining significant market share in China.FinancialsAlibaba and Amazon are both large, established tech companies. In recent years, BABA’s growth has been faster than Amazon’s, though it decelerated a lot in the last two quarters. Below you’ll find a table with some select financial metrics for Amazon and Alibaba side by side. As you can see, BABA generally has the higher growth rates of the two companies, but not by a lot.As the table shows, BABA’s growth is faster than AMZN’s on the top line, and the decline is less severe on two out of four bottom line metrics. Although BABA’s earnings decline was more severe than Amazon’s, BABA managed to retain positive FCF in the TTM period, while Amazon didn’t. BABA also had the less severe decline in operating income/EBIT.We can also calculate some profit metrics from the above figures. They are shown in the table below.Again, the comparison favors Alibaba. Amazon only beats Alibaba on one profit metric (gross margin), but its win there is small. Meanwhile, BABA doubles AMZN’s EBIT margin, nearly doubles the net margin, and has a positive FCF margin. On profitability, Alibaba takes home the gold.ValuationHaving looked at Amazon and Alibaba’s financials, we can turn to their valuations. On this factor, there really is no comparison: BABA is cheaper than AMZN by a country mile. Its key multiples are all lower than Amazon’s, and it comes out with more upside in a DCF model.In the table below, I’ve compiled some valuation measures for AMZN and BABA using Seeking Alpha Quant. BABA is cheaper than AMZN on every single one.Not only are BABA’s multiples lower than Amazon’s, many of them are in true value territory. Earnings and cash flow multiples around 12 are not much higher than what bank stocks trade at, yet BABA is a tech giant with 40% five-year annualized revenue growth. It looks like a bargain, and the comparison to AMZN is favorable.It’s also possible to compare Amazon and Alibaba using a discounted cash flow analysis. In a recent article, I did a DCF valuation of BABA using the 10-year Treasury yield as the discount rate, and got a $253 fair value. The yield hasn’t changed since I wrote that article, so that valuation still stands. I will say that Alibaba stock is generally considered risky, and if you throw a 3% risk premium on top of the discount rate I used, you only get $119. That’s still upside, but not a whole lot.Amazon’s DCF valuation is a more complicated topic. If you use a 3% discount rate and assume that the 3-year CAGR earnings growth rate of 20% continues over the next five years before slowing to 0%, you get to $165. That’s upside to today’s price, but less upside than my BABA model, even though the BABA model assumes way less growth. If BABA goes to $250 it rises 140%. If AMZN goes to $165, it rises just 35%. So if we can use the same discount rate for Amazon and BABA, BABA is worth more, even with far more conservative growth assumptions. With that said, Alibaba is exposed to considerable political risk, so there’s a case to be made for using a higher discount rate for BABA than for AMZN.Long-Term Business OutlookHaving looked at historical factors, we can turn to the long-term business outlook for Amazon and Alibaba. Everything I’ve written about these two stocks assumes that they can return to positive earnings growth in the future, so we need to gauge whether that’s the case.First, we can look at industry prospects on a worldwide basis. Valuates Report forecasts that e-commerce will grow at 17.4% CAGR to 2028. Other forecasters offer similar estimates. That sounds nice, but it isn’t consistent with what's happening this year. Amazon, Alibaba, and Shopify all saw significant deceleration this year. Growth should pick up again in the future, but I’m not sure that Valuates’ rosy forecast will be hit. The COVID-19 pandemic was a huge tailwind for e-commerce firms in 2020 and 2021, pulling revenue growth forward. We can expect the industry to grow in the future, but not as much as in the recent past.Next, we can look at growth in the markets Amazon and Alibaba serve. Both the U.S. and China have decent historical GDP growth, but China’s growth is faster. America’s10-year compound GDP growth is 2.1%. China’s is 6%. China’s growth could be cut in half, and it would still be faster than the U.S. So, BABA takes the nod on growth in the key market.Alibaba and Amazon face similar amounts of competition. Amazon is up against Shopify, eBay and Walmart(WMT); Alibaba has JD(JD) and Pinduoduo(PDD). The number and size of major competitors is similar for both companies. Given the similarity of the competitive dynamics Amazon and Alibaba face, it looks like China’s edge in economic growth gives BABA an edge in long-term business outlook.One Big RiskAll of the factors I’ve looked at so far favor Alibaba over Amazon. The former company wins on growth, profitability and valuation, the latter on none of the factors I’ve looked at. It seems like an open and shut case. However, there is one factor that does give Amazon an edge:Political risk.Currently, Alibaba is exposed to a rather enormous number of political risks, including:Renewed fines.A data leak that’s being investigated by China’s government.The possibility of being delisted from the NYSE.It’s impossible to put a numerical value on risks like these, but they are real. Fines, for example, took a $2.8 billion bite out of BABA’s net income in calendar 2021. So the risks aren’t idle talk: they are materializing, and affecting fundamentals.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1038,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9069359297,"gmtCreate":1651239915357,"gmtModify":1676534876071,"author":{"id":"3574889239987561","authorId":"3574889239987561","name":"Gamestonk11","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57d87914fd79b0fd11508b722d7f4e19","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574889239987561","authorIdStr":"3574889239987561"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"1","listText":"1","text":"1","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9069359297","repostId":"1160610106","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1160610106","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1651239051,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1160610106?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2022-04-29 21:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Stocks Open Lower on Friday; Amazon Shares Plunges More Than 10%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1160610106","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stocks fell Friday morning to wrap up April trading, with the Nasdaq Composite on pace for the worst month since March 2020.The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1.2%.

In this case, Upstart has developed an AI algorithm to assess the creditworthiness of potential borrowers, and it uses that information to originate loans for its banking partners.</p><p>Banks pay Upstart a fee for the service, and it&#39;s proving to be a far more effective tool than the decades-old FICO credit scoring system from <b>Fair Isaac</b>. While FICO takes into account a handful of metrics when assessing borrowers, Upstart can measure 1,600 data points and deliver a decision instantly 70% of the time. It would likely take a human assessor days or even weeks to arrive at the same result, so Upstart offers a better experience for both the customer and the lender.</p><p>The company got its start by originating unsecured personal loans, which is a $96 billion annual market. But it recently expanded into auto loan originations, which is about seven times that size.

While the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector index is down about 13.9% so far in 2022, it's still holding on to a gain of 423% over the last decade.In fact, the steep declines in many individual stocks could be an opportunity to buy into long-term growth stories at a discount for the decade ahead. Upstart Holdings and Bill.com Holdings are two fintechs with unique business models and soaring growth rates, making them prime candidates.Over the next 10 years, both stocks have the potential to deliver fivefold returns, especially if you buy them now while their stock is selling at a steep discount to levels reached in late 2021.The case for UpstartArtificial intelligence (AI) is a next-generation technology that promises to replace manual human input in many complex tasks. In this case, Upstart has developed an AI algorithm to assess the creditworthiness of potential borrowers, and it uses that information to originate loans for its banking partners.Banks pay Upstart a fee for the service, and it's proving to be a far more effective tool than the decades-old FICO credit scoring system from Fair Isaac. While FICO takes into account a handful of metrics when assessing borrowers, Upstart can measure 1,600 data points and deliver a decision instantly 70% of the time. It would likely take a human assessor days or even weeks to arrive at the same result, so Upstart offers a better experience for both the customer and the lender.The company got its start by originating unsecured personal loans, which is a $96 billion annual market. But it recently expanded into auto loan originations, which is about seven times that size. The Upstart Auto Retail sales and origination platform now serves over 410 car dealerships across the U.S., and it's growing rapidly.Upstart would have to increase its revenue by 18% each year to turn a $200,000 investment into $1 million by 2032, assuming its price-to-sales multiple remains constant.Metric20172021CAGRRevenue$57 million$849 million96%Earnings (loss) per share($0.56)$2.37N/AData: Upstart Holdings.

The downbeat results from the biggest U.S. lender sent its shares down 3.2%.On the brighter side, Delta Air Lines' results beat expectations and it forecast a current-quarter return to profit due to \"historically high\" demand.

BABA is the top e-commerce platform in China by profit, while Amazon is#1 in the U.S.by revenue as well as profit. Beyond the fact that they have similar core businesses, both Amazon and Alibaba also have cloud computing segments. The cloud has been a big profit driver for Amazon, whose core e-commerce business isn’t always profitable, and Alibaba is making big moves in the space too.</p><p>Despite the similarities between Alibaba and Amazon, there are big differences as well. Amazon sells goods directly, while Alibaba relies almost exclusively on third parties. Amazon’s biggest market is the United States, Alibaba’s is China. Amazon’s cloud business is a huge profit driver, Alibaba’s e-commerce business subsidizes the cloud.</p><p>There are enough differences between Amazon and Alibaba to make the comparison less than “apples to apples.” However, these two companies are the biggest e-commerce players in the world’s first and second largest economies. So, they are worth comparing.</p><p>The comparison is fairly interesting, too. Alibaba has both a cheaper valuation and faster revenue growth than Amazon, which would theoretically make it a better buy. However, Amazon faces less political risk than Alibaba does, which justifies some sort of a premium. The question, then, is whether Amazon’s valuation premium relative to Alibaba is too large, too small, or just the right size. In this article, I will argue that it is too large, and that BABA is the better buy out of these stocks at today’s prices.</p><p><b>Amazon and Alibaba: Competitors?</b></p><p>The first thing we need to know when looking at Amazon and Alibaba side by side is whether the two companies are competitors. They’re in the same industry, but in different regions. So the degree of competition is hard to gauge.</p><p>Generally, if you search online for a list of Amazon competitors, you’ll see Alibaba listed among them. For example, a <b>Shopify</b>(SHOP) blog post names Alibabain its list of companies that compete with Amazon. Many other sources online report the same thing.</p><p>There may be some competition between Amazon and Alibaba in some markets, but it’s pretty limited. In the U.S., the two companies actually have a symbiotic relationship. Alibaba is a huge source of bulk goods that drop shippers sell on Amazon, Shopify and <b>eBay</b>(EBAY). So Amazon and Alibaba can feed off each other&#39;s success in the United States.</p><p>As far as China goes: there’s little meaningful competition between Amazon and Alibaba there. Amazon exited direct selling in China in 2019, and now only does cross-border shipping. Shipping from the U.S. to China takes11-20 business days for consumer packages, which creates a barrier to Amazon gaining significant market share in China.</p><p><b>Financials</b></p><p>Alibaba and Amazon are both large, established tech companies. In recent years, BABA’s growth has been faster than Amazon’s, though it decelerated a lot in the last two quarters. Below you’ll find a table with some select financial metrics for Amazon and Alibaba side by side. As you can see, BABA generally has the higher growth rates of the two companies, but not by a lot.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7297f6973d96d7f1c681640e3b28afcd\" tg-width=\"632\" tg-height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>As the table shows, BABA’s growth is faster than AMZN’s on the top line, and the decline is less severe on two out of four bottom line metrics. Although BABA’s earnings decline was more severe than Amazon’s, BABA managed to retain positive FCF in the TTM period, while Amazon didn’t. BABA also had the less severe decline in operating income/EBIT.</p><p>We can also calculate some profit metrics from the above figures. They are shown in the table below.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/096cebe510afefb9b7817a44624e043f\" tg-width=\"632\" tg-height=\"229\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Again, the comparison favors Alibaba. Amazon only beats Alibaba on one profit metric (gross margin), but its win there is small. Meanwhile, BABA doubles AMZN’s EBIT margin, nearly doubles the net margin, and has a positive FCF margin. On profitability, Alibaba takes home the gold.</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Having looked at Amazon and Alibaba’s financials, we can turn to their valuations. On this factor, there really is no comparison: BABA is cheaper than AMZN by a country mile. Its key multiples are all lower than Amazon’s, and it comes out with more upside in a DCF model.</p><p>In the table below, I’ve compiled some valuation measures for AMZN and BABA using Seeking Alpha Quant. BABA is cheaper than AMZN on every single one.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e670b7e0fab330f4f1835c4bf4f5f35b\" tg-width=\"624\" tg-height=\"308\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Not only are BABA’s multiples lower than Amazon’s, many of them are in true value territory. Earnings and cash flow multiples around 12 are not much higher than what bank stocks trade at, yet BABA is a tech giant with 40% five-year annualized revenue growth. It looks like a bargain, and the comparison to AMZN is favorable.</p><p>It’s also possible to compare Amazon and Alibaba using a discounted cash flow analysis. In a recent article, I did a DCF valuation of BABA using the 10-year Treasury yield as the discount rate, and got a $253 fair value. The yield hasn’t changed since I wrote that article, so that valuation still stands. I will say that Alibaba stock is generally considered risky, and if you throw a 3% risk premium on top of the discount rate I used, you only get $119. That’s still upside, but not a whole lot.</p><p>Amazon’s DCF valuation is a more complicated topic. If you use a 3% discount rate and assume that the 3-year CAGR earnings growth rate of 20% continues over the next five years before slowing to 0%, you get to $165. That’s upside to today’s price, but less upside than my BABA model, even though the BABA model assumes way less growth. If BABA goes to $250 it rises 140%. If AMZN goes to $165, it rises just 35%. So if we can use the same discount rate for Amazon and BABA, BABA is worth more, even with far more conservative growth assumptions. With that said, Alibaba is exposed to considerable political risk, so there’s a case to be made for using a higher discount rate for BABA than for AMZN.</p><p><b>Long-Term Business Outlook</b></p><p>Having looked at historical factors, we can turn to the long-term business outlook for Amazon and Alibaba. Everything I’ve written about these two stocks assumes that they can return to positive earnings growth in the future, so we need to gauge whether that’s the case.</p><p>First, we can look at industry prospects on a worldwide basis. Valuates Report forecasts that e-commerce will grow at 17.4% CAGR to 2028. Other forecasters offer similar estimates. That sounds nice, but it isn’t consistent with what&#39;s happening this year. Amazon, Alibaba, and Shopify all saw significant deceleration this year. Growth should pick up again in the future, but I’m not sure that Valuates’ rosy forecast will be hit. The COVID-19 pandemic was a huge tailwind for e-commerce firms in 2020 and 2021, pulling revenue growth forward. We can expect the industry to grow in the future, but not as much as in the recent past.</p><p>Next, we can look at growth in the markets Amazon and Alibaba serve. Both the U.S. and China have decent historical GDP growth, but China’s growth is faster. America’s10-year compound GDP growth is 2.1%. China’s is 6%. China’s growth could be cut in half, and it would still be faster than the U.S. So, BABA takes the nod on growth in the key market.</p><p>Alibaba and Amazon face similar amounts of competition. Amazon is up against Shopify, eBay and <b>Walmart</b>(WMT); Alibaba has <b>JD</b>(JD) and <b>Pinduoduo</b>(PDD). The number and size of major competitors is similar for both companies. Given the similarity of the competitive dynamics Amazon and Alibaba face, it looks like China’s edge in economic growth gives BABA an edge in long-term business outlook.</p><p><b>One Big Risk</b></p><p>All of the factors I’ve looked at so far favor Alibaba over Amazon. The former company wins on growth, profitability and valuation, the latter on none of the factors I’ve looked at. It seems like an open and shut case. However, there is one factor that does give Amazon an edge:</p><p><i>Political risk.</i></p><p>Currently, Alibaba is exposed to a rather enormous number of political risks, including:</p><ul><li><p>Renewed fines.</p></li><li><p>A data leak that’s being investigated by China’s government.</p></li><li><p>The possibility of being delisted from the NYSE.</p></li></ul><p>It’s impossible to put a numerical value on risks like these, but they are real. Fines, for example, took a $2.8 billion bite out of BABA’s net income in calendar 2021. So the risks aren’t idle talk: they are materializing, and affecting fundamentals.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba Vs.

Amazon’s cloud business is a huge profit driver, Alibaba’s e-commerce business subsidizes the cloud.There are enough differences between Amazon and Alibaba to make the comparison less than “apples to apples.” However, these two companies are the biggest e-commerce players in the world’s first and second largest economies. So, they are worth comparing.The comparison is fairly interesting, too. Alibaba has both a cheaper valuation and faster revenue growth than Amazon, which would theoretically make it a better buy. However, Amazon faces less political risk than Alibaba does, which justifies some sort of a premium. The question, then, is whether Amazon’s valuation premium relative to Alibaba is too large, too small, or just the right size. In this article, I will argue that it is too large, and that BABA is the better buy out of these stocks at today’s prices.Amazon and Alibaba: Competitors?The first thing we need to know when looking at Amazon and Alibaba side by side is whether the two companies are competitors. They’re in the same industry, but in different regions. So the degree of competition is hard to gauge.Generally, if you search online for a list of Amazon competitors, you’ll see Alibaba listed among them. For example, a Shopify(SHOP) blog post names Alibabain its list of companies that compete with Amazon. Many other sources online report the same thing.There may be some competition between Amazon and Alibaba in some markets, but it’s pretty limited. In the U.S., the two companies actually have a symbiotic relationship. Alibaba is a huge source of bulk goods that drop shippers sell on Amazon, Shopify and eBay(EBAY). So Amazon and Alibaba can feed off each other's success in the United States.As far as China goes: there’s little meaningful competition between Amazon and Alibaba there. Amazon exited direct selling in China in 2019, and now only does cross-border shipping. Shipping from the U.S. to China takes11-20 business days for consumer packages, which creates a barrier to Amazon gaining significant market share in China.FinancialsAlibaba and Amazon are both large, established tech companies. In recent years, BABA’s growth has been faster than Amazon’s, though it decelerated a lot in the last two quarters. Below you’ll find a table with some select financial metrics for Amazon and Alibaba side by side. As you can see, BABA generally has the higher growth rates of the two companies, but not by a lot.As the table shows, BABA’s growth is faster than AMZN’s on the top line, and the decline is less severe on two out of four bottom line metrics. Although BABA’s earnings decline was more severe than Amazon’s, BABA managed to retain positive FCF in the TTM period, while Amazon didn’t. BABA also had the less severe decline in operating income/EBIT.We can also calculate some profit metrics from the above figures. They are shown in the table below.Again, the comparison favors Alibaba. Amazon only beats Alibaba on one profit metric (gross margin), but its win there is small. Meanwhile, BABA doubles AMZN’s EBIT margin, nearly doubles the net margin, and has a positive FCF margin. On profitability, Alibaba takes home the gold.ValuationHaving looked at Amazon and Alibaba’s financials, we can turn to their valuations. On this factor, there really is no comparison: BABA is cheaper than AMZN by a country mile. Its key multiples are all lower than Amazon’s, and it comes out with more upside in a DCF model.In the table below, I’ve compiled some valuation measures for AMZN and BABA using Seeking Alpha Quant. BABA is cheaper than AMZN on every single one.Not only are BABA’s multiples lower than Amazon’s, many of them are in true value territory. Earnings and cash flow multiples around 12 are not much higher than what bank stocks trade at, yet BABA is a tech giant with 40% five-year annualized revenue growth. It looks like a bargain, and the comparison to AMZN is favorable.It’s also possible to compare Amazon and Alibaba using a discounted cash flow analysis. In a recent article, I did a DCF valuation of BABA using the 10-year Treasury yield as the discount rate, and got a $253 fair value. The yield hasn’t changed since I wrote that article, so that valuation still stands. I will say that Alibaba stock is generally considered risky, and if you throw a 3% risk premium on top of the discount rate I used, you only get $119. That’s still upside, but not a whole lot.Amazon’s DCF valuation is a more complicated topic. If you use a 3% discount rate and assume that the 3-year CAGR earnings growth rate of 20% continues over the next five years before slowing to 0%, you get to $165. That’s upside to today’s price, but less upside than my BABA model, even though the BABA model assumes way less growth. If BABA goes to $250 it rises 140%. If AMZN goes to $165, it rises just 35%. So if we can use the same discount rate for Amazon and BABA, BABA is worth more, even with far more conservative growth assumptions. With that said, Alibaba is exposed to considerable political risk, so there’s a case to be made for using a higher discount rate for BABA than for AMZN.Long-Term Business OutlookHaving looked at historical factors, we can turn to the long-term business outlook for Amazon and Alibaba. Everything I’ve written about these two stocks assumes that they can return to positive earnings growth in the future, so we need to gauge whether that’s the case.First, we can look at industry prospects on a worldwide basis. Valuates Report forecasts that e-commerce will grow at 17.4% CAGR to 2028. Other forecasters offer similar estimates. That sounds nice, but it isn’t consistent with what's happening this year. Amazon, Alibaba, and Shopify all saw significant deceleration this year. Growth should pick up again in the future, but I’m not sure that Valuates’ rosy forecast will be hit. The COVID-19 pandemic was a huge tailwind for e-commerce firms in 2020 and 2021, pulling revenue growth forward. We can expect the industry to grow in the future, but not as much as in the recent past.Next, we can look at growth in the markets Amazon and Alibaba serve. Both the U.S. and China have decent historical GDP growth, but China’s growth is faster. America’s10-year compound GDP growth is 2.1%. China’s is 6%. China’s growth could be cut in half, and it would still be faster than the U.S. So, BABA takes the nod on growth in the key market.Alibaba and Amazon face similar amounts of competition. Amazon is up against Shopify, eBay and Walmart(WMT); Alibaba has JD(JD) and Pinduoduo(PDD). The number and size of major competitors is similar for both companies. Given the similarity of the competitive dynamics Amazon and Alibaba face, it looks like China’s edge in economic growth gives BABA an edge in long-term business outlook.One Big RiskAll of the factors I’ve looked at so far favor Alibaba over Amazon. The former company wins on growth, profitability and valuation, the latter on none of the factors I’ve looked at. It seems like an open and shut case. However, there is one factor that does give Amazon an edge:Political risk.Currently, Alibaba is exposed to a rather enormous number of political risks, including:Renewed fines.A data leak that’s being investigated by China’s government.The possibility of being delisted from the NYSE.It’s impossible to put a numerical value on risks like these, but they are real. Fines, for example, took a $2.8 billion bite out of BABA’s net income in calendar 2021. So the risks aren’t idle talk: they are materializing, and affecting fundamentals.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1451,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9094030791,"gmtCreate":1645018268346,"gmtModify":1676533986776,"author":{"id":"3574889239987561","authorId":"3574889239987561","name":"Gamestonk11","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57d87914fd79b0fd11508b722d7f4e19","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574889239987561","authorIdStr":"3574889239987561"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"1","listText":"1","text":"1","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9094030791","repostId":"1119273317","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119273317","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1645016443,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119273317?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2022-02-16 21:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pre-Bell｜U.S. Stock Index Futures Eased; Roblox Stock Plummeted 15%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119273317","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stock index futures eased on Wednesday with retail sales data and minutes of the Federal Reserv","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. stock index futures eased on Wednesday with retail sales data and minutes of the Federal Reserve&#39;s last meeting on investors&#39; radar, while Western skepticism over Russian claims of a pullback of some troops near Ukraine kept caution in the air.</p><p><b>Market Snapshot</b></p><p>At 8 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 86 points, or 0.25%, S&amp;P 500 e-minis were down 11 points, or 0.25%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 30.5 points, or 0.21%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b90892b61b57d2b77bd0183a728eef6b\" tg-width=\"966\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p><b>Pre-Market Movers</b></p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GNRC\">Generac</a> (GNRC) – The maker of generators and power equipment saw its stock rise 2.6% in the premarket after beating top and bottom-line estimates for the fourth quarter.

The economy grew at a 6.6% rate in the second quarter.\n\"The danger with inflation is once prices go up, they don't go back down and the economy and producers and consumers all have to live in a costlier world where many don't have the means to do more than just barely survive,\" said Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS in New York.\nBut inflation is likely nearing its peak. Excluding the volatile food, energy and trade services components, producer prices rose 0.3%, the smallest gain since last November. The so-called core PPI shot up 0.9% in July.\nIn the 12 months through August, the core PPI accelerated 6.3%. That was the largest rise since the government introduced the series in August 2014 and followed a 6.1% increase in July.\n(Reporting by Lucia Mutikani; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama and Andrea Ricci)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":267,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019123511,"gmtCreate":1648561667054,"gmtModify":1676534354286,"author":{"id":"3574889239987561","authorId":"3574889239987561","name":"Gamestonk11","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57d87914fd79b0fd11508b722d7f4e19","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574889239987561","authorIdStr":"3574889239987561"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"1","listText":"1","text":"1","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9019123511","repostId":"1184103694","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184103694","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1648560745,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1184103694?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2022-03-29 21:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Stock Market Opens Higher","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184103694","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stocks rose Tuesday morning, putting the major averages on track to build on the previous session's ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Stocks rose Tuesday morning, putting the major averages on track to build on the previous session&#39;s gain as traders monitored ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 340 points, or 1%.

The 91-yea","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Warren Buffett released his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders on Saturday. The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.</p><p>Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.</p><p>In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.</p><p>“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.</p><p>Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.</p><p>“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><b>Read the full letter here：</b></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.</p><p>Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.</p><p>Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2><p>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2><p>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )</p><p>BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.</p><p>• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.</p><p>To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.</p><h2>Investments</h2><p>Now let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2><p>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2><p>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2><p>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2><p>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><h2>Thanks</h2><p>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.</p><p>Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.</p><p>I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction working</p><p>for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.</p><p>Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.</p><p>To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.</p><p>Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.</p><p>Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”</p><h2>The Annual Meeting</h2><p>Clear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.</p><p>I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.</p><p>February 26, 2022</p><p>Warren E.

The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.</p><p>Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.</p><p>In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.</p><p>“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.</p><p>Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.</p><p>“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”</p><p>Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.</p><p>“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.</p><p>Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.</p><p>“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”</p><p><b>Read the full letter here：</b></p><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.</p><p>Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.</p><p>Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.</p><p>A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.</p><p>Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.</p><p><b>What You Own</b></p><p>Berkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.</p><p>Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.</p><h2><b>Surprise, Surprise</b></h2><p>Here are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:</p><p>• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.</p><p>At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.</p><p>• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid</p><p>$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.</p><p>Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.</p><p></p><p>The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).</p><p>I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.</p><p>In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from</p><p>$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.</p><p>During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.</p><p>Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.</p><p>Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.</p><p>In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.</p><p>• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.</p><p>So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.</p><p>Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.</p><p>If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.</p><p>Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”</p><p>I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.</p><p>One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.</p><p>Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.</p><h2>Our Four Giants</h2><p>Through Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.</p><p>• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.</p><p>The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.</p><p>There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.</p><p>• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.</p><p>It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.</p><p>• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.</p><p>Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )</p><p>BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.</p><p>• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.</p><p>BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.</p><p>Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories.

Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43587e9f59c0ff76e6c04c6bf9af324\" tg-width=\"1047\" tg-height=\"530\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.</p><p>** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.</p><p>*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.</p><p>In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.</p><p>Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.</p><h2>U.S. Treasury Bills</h2><p>Berkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.</p><p>Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.</p><h2>But $144 billion?</h2><p>That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)</p><p>After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.</p><p>Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.</p><h2>Share Repurchases</h2><p>There are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.</p><p>Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.</p><p>That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.</p><p>Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)</p><p>Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).</p><p>I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.</p><p>It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.</p><p>Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.</p><h2>A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful Business</h2><p>Last year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.</p><p>In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.</p><p>With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.</p><p>But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?</p><p>For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.</p><p>But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.</p><p>Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.</p><p>When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.</p><p>To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.</p><p>Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”</p><p>When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.</p><p>At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.</p><p>In all ways, Paul was a class act.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.</p><p>Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.</p><p>In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.</p><p>Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.</p><p>The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.</p><p>On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.</p><p>Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.</p><p>The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.</p><h2>Thanks</h2><p>I taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.</p><p>Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.</p><p>Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.</p><p>Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”</p><p>Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.</p><p>Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.</p><p>I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction working</p><p>for you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.</p><p>Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.</p><p>To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.</p><p>Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.</p><p>Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”</p><h2>The Annual Meeting</h2><p>Clear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.</p><p>I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.</p><p>February 26, 2022</p><p>Warren E. Buffett Chairman of the Board</p></body></html>\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1125580913","content_text":"Warren Buffett released his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders on Saturday. The 91-year-old investing legend has been publishing the letter for over six decades and it has become required reading for investors around the world.Warren Buffett said he now considers tech giant Apple as one of the four pillars driving Berkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate of mostly old-economy businesses he’s assembled over the last five decades.In his annual letter to shareholders released on Saturday, the 91-year-old investing legend listed Apple under the heading “Our Four Giants” and even called the company the second-most important after Berkshire’s cluster of insurers, thanks to its chief executive.“Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well,” the letter stated.Buffett made clear he is a fan of Cook’s stock repurchase strategy, and how it gives the conglomerate increased ownership of each dollar of the iPhone maker’s earnings without the investor having to lift a finger.“Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier,” Buffett said in the letter. “That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.”Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016 under the influence of Buffett’s investing deputies Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. By mid-2018, the conglomerate accumulated 5% ownership of the iPhone maker, a stake that cost $36 billion. Today, the Apple investment is now worth more than $160 billion, taking up 40% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio.“It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our ‘share’ of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud,” Buffett said.Berkshire is Apple’s largest shareholder, outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers.Buffett also credited his railroad business BNSF and energy segment BHE as two other giants of the conglomerate, which both registered record earnings in 2021.“BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire,” Buffett said. “BHE has become a utility powerhouse and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.”Read the full letter here：To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.What You OwnBerkshire owns a wide variety of businesses, some in their entirety, some only in part. The second group largely consists of marketable common stocks of major American companies. Additionally, we own a few non-U.S. equities and participate in several joint ventures or other collaborative activities.Whatever our form of ownership, our goal is to have meaningful investments in businesses with both durable economic advantages and a first-class CEO. Please note particularly that we own stocks based upon our expectations about their long-term business performance and not because we view them as vehicles for timely market moves. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.I make many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses includes some enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many others that enjoy good economic characteristics, and a few that are marginal. One advantage of our common-stock segment is that – on occasion – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. That shooting-fish-in-a-barrel experience is very rare in negotiated transactions and never occurs en masse. It is also far easier to exit from a mistake when it has been made in the marketable arena.Surprise, SurpriseHere are a few items about your company that often surprise even seasoned investors:• Many people perceive Berkshire as a large and somewhat strange collection of financial assets. In truth, Berkshire owns and operates more U.S.-based “infrastructure” assets – classified on our balance sheet as property, plant and equipment – than are owned and operated by any other American corporation. That supremacy has never been our goal. It has, however, become a fact.At yearend, those domestic infrastructure assets were carried on Berkshire’s balance sheet at $158 billion. That number increased last year and will continue to increase. Berkshire always will be building.• Every year, your company makes substantial federal income tax payments. In 2021, for example, we paid$3.3 billion while the U.S. Treasury reported total corporate income-tax receipts of $402 billion. Additionally, Berkshire pays substantial state and foreign taxes. “I gave at the office” is an unassailable assertion when made by Berkshire shareholders.Berkshire’s history vividly illustrates the invisible and often unrecognized financial partnership between  government and American businesses. Our tale begins early in 1955, when Berkshire Fine Spinning and Hathaway Manufacturing agreed to merge their businesses. In their requests for shareholder approval, these venerable New England textile companies expressed high hopes for the combination.The Hathaway solicitation, for example, assured its shareholders that “The combination of the resources and managements will result in one of the strongest and most efficient organizations in the textile industry.” That upbeat view was endorsed by the company’s advisor, Lehman Brothers (yes, that Lehman Brothers).I’m sure it was a joyous day in both Fall River (Berkshire) and New Bedford (Hathaway) when the union was consummated. After the bands stopped playing and the bankers went home, however, the shareholders reaped a disaster.In the nine years following the merger, Berkshire’s owners watched the company’s net worth crater from$51.4 million to $22.1 million. In part, this decline was caused by stock repurchases, ill-advised dividends and plant shutdowns. But nine years of effort by many thousands of employees delivered an operating loss as well. Berkshire’s struggles were not unusual: The New England textile industry had silently entered an extended and non-reversible death march.During the nine post-merger years, the U.S. Treasury suffered as well from Berkshire’s troubles. All told, the company paid the government only $337,359 in income tax during that period – a pathetic $100 per day.Early in 1965, things changed. Berkshire installed new management that redeployed available cash and steered essentially all earnings into a variety of good businesses, most of which remained good through the years. Coupling reinvestment of earnings with the power of compounding worked its magic, and shareholders prospered.Berkshire’s owners, it should be noted, were not the only beneficiary of that course correction. Their “silent partner,” the U.S. Treasury, proceeded to collect many tens of billions of dollars from the company in income tax payments. Remember the $100 daily? Now, Berkshire pays roughly $9 million daily to the Treasury.In fairness to our governmental partner, our shareholders should acknowledge – indeed trumpet – the fact that Berkshire’s prosperity has been fostered mightily because the company has operated in America. Our country would have done splendidly in the years since 1965 without Berkshire. Absent our American home, however, Berkshire would never have come close to becoming what it is today. When you see the flag, say thanks.• From an $8.6 million purchase of National Indemnity in 1967, Berkshire has become the world leader in insurance “float” – money we hold and can invest but that does not belong to us. Including a relatively small sum derived from life insurance, Berkshire’s total float has grown from $19 million when we entered the insurance business to $147 billion.So far, this float has cost us less than nothing. Though we have experienced a number of years when insurance losses combined with operating expenses exceeded premiums, overall we have earned a modest 55-year profit from the underwriting activities that generated our float.Of equal importance, float is very sticky. Funds attributable to our insurance operations come and go daily, but their aggregate total is immune from precipitous decline. When it comes to investing float, we can therefore think long-term.If you are not already familiar with the concept of float, I refer you to a long explanation on page A-5. To my surprise, our float increased $9 billion last year, a buildup of value that is important to Berkshire owners though is not reflected in our GAAP (“generally-accepted accounting principles”) presentation of earnings and net worth.Much of our huge value creation in insurance is attributable to Berkshire’s good luck in my 1986 hiring of Ajit Jain. We first met on a Saturday morning, and I quickly asked Ajit what his insurance experience had been. He replied, “None.”I said, “Nobody’s perfect,” and hired him. That was my lucky day: Ajit actually was as perfect a choice as could have been made. Better yet, he continues to be – 35 years later.One final thought about insurance: I believe that it is likely – but far from assured – that Berkshire’s float can be maintained without our incurring a long-term underwriting loss. I am certain, however, that there will be some years when we experience such losses, perhaps involving very large sums.Berkshire is constructed to handle catastrophic events as no other insurer – and that priority will remain long after Charlie and I are gone.Our Four GiantsThrough Berkshire, our shareholders own many dozens of businesses. Some of these, in turn, have a collection of subsidiaries of their own. For example, Marmon has more than 100 individual business operations, ranging from the leasing of railroad cars to the manufacture of medical devices.• Nevertheless, operations of our “Big Four” companies account for a very large chunk of Berkshire’s value. Leading this list is our cluster of insurers. Berkshire effectively owns 100% of this group, whose massive float value we earlier described. The invested assets of these insurers are further enlarged by the extraordinary amount of capital we invest to back up their promises.The insurance business is made to order for Berkshire. The product will never be obsolete, and sales volume will generally increase along with both economic growth and inflation. Also, integrity and capital will forever be important. Our company can and will behave well.There are, of course, other insurers with excellent business models and prospects. Replication of Berkshire’s operation, however, would be almost impossible.• Apple – our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value – is a different sort of holding. Here, our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple’s 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple’s repurchases did the job.It’s important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports – and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our “share” of Apple’s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud. Tim Cook, Apple’s brilliant CEO, quite properly regards users of Apple products as his first love, but all of his other constituencies benefit from Tim’s managerial touch as well.• BNSF, our third Giant, continues to be the number one artery of American commerce, which makes it an indispensable asset for America as well as for Berkshire. If the many essential products BNSF carries were instead hauled by truck, America’s carbon emissions would soar.Your railroad had record earnings of $6 billion in 2021. Here, it should be noted, we are talking about the old-fashioned sort of earnings that we favor: a figure calculated after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and all forms of compensation. (Our definition suggests a warning: Deceptive “adjustments” to earnings – to use a polite description – have become both more frequent and more fanciful as stocks have risen. Speaking less politely, I would say that bull markets breed bloviated bull )BNSF trains traveled 143 million miles last year and carried 535 million tons of cargo. Both accomplishments far exceed those of any other American carrier. You can be proud of your railroad.• BHE, our final Giant, earned a record $4 billion in 2021. That’s up more than 30-fold from the $122 million earned in 2000, the year that Berkshire first purchased a BHE stake. Now, Berkshire owns 91.1% of the company.BHE’s record of societal accomplishment is as remarkable as its financial performance. The company had no wind or solar generation in 2000. It was then regarded simply as a relatively new and minor participant in the huge electric utility industry. Subsequently, under David Sokol’s and Greg Abel’s leadership, BHE has become a utility powerhouse (no groaning, please) and a leading force in wind, solar and transmission throughout much of the United States.Greg’s report on these accomplishments appears on pages A-3 and A-4. The profile you will find there is not in any way one of those currently-fashionable “green-washing” stories. BHE has been faithfully detailing its plans and performance in renewables and transmissions every year since 2007.To further review this information, visit BHE’s website at brkenergy.com. There, you will see that the company has long been making climate-conscious moves that soak up all of its earnings. More opportunities lie ahead. BHE has the management, the experience, the capital and the appetite for the huge power projects that our country needs.InvestmentsNow let’s talk about companies we don’t control, a list that again references Apple. Below we list our fifteen largest equity holdings, several of which are selections of Berkshire’s two long-time investment managers, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler. At yearend, this valued pair had total authority in respect to $34 billion of investments, many of which do not meet the threshold value we use in the table. Also, a significant portion of the dollars that Todd and Ted manage are lodged in various pension plans of Berkshire-owned businesses, with the assets of these plans not included in this table.* This is our actual purchase price and also our tax basis.** Held by BHE; consequently, Berkshire shareholders have only a 91.1% interest in this position.*** Includes a $10 billion investment in Occidental Petroleum, consisting of preferred stock and warrants to buy common stock, a combination now being valued at $10.7 billion.In addition to the footnoted Occidental holding and our various common-stock positions, Berkshire also owns a 26.6% interest in Kraft Heinz (accounted for on the “equity” method, not market value, and carried at $13.1 billion) and 38.6% of Pilot Corp., a leader in travel centers that had revenues last year of $45 billion.Since we purchased our Pilot stake in 2017, this holding has warranted “equity” accounting treatment. Early in 2023, Berkshire will purchase an additional interest in Pilot that will raise our ownership to 80% and lead to our fully consolidating Pilot’s earnings, assets and liabilities in our financial statements.U.S. Treasury BillsBerkshire’s balance sheet includes $144 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding the holdings of BNSF and BHE). Of this sum, $120 billion is held in U.S. Treasury bills, all maturing in less than a year. That stake leaves Berkshire financing about 12 of 1% of the publicly-held national debt.Charlie and I have pledged that Berkshire (along with our subsidiaries other than BNSF and BHE) will always hold more than $30 billion of cash and equivalents. We want your company to be financially impregnable and never dependent on the kindness of strangers (or even that of friends). Both of us like to sleep soundly, and we want our creditors, insurance claimants and you to do so as well.But $144 billion?That imposing sum, I assure you, is not some deranged expression of patriotism. Nor have Charlie and I lost our overwhelming preference for business ownership. Indeed, I first manifested my enthusiasm for that 80 years ago, on March 11, 1942, when I purchased three shares of Cities Services preferred stock. Their cost was $114.75 and required all of my savings. (The Dow Jones Industrial Average that day closed at 99, a fact that should scream to you: Never bet against America.)After my initial plunge, I always kept at least 80% of my net worth in equities. My favored status throughout that period was 100% – and still is. Berkshire’s current 80%-or-so position in businesses is a consequence of my failure to find entire companies or small portions thereof (that is, marketable stocks) which meet our criteria for long- term holding.Charlie and I have endured similar cash-heavy positions from time to time in the past. These periods are never pleasant; they are also never permanent. And, fortunately, we have had a mildly attractive alternative during 2020 and 2021 for deploying capital. Read on.Share RepurchasesThere are three ways that we can increase the value of your investment. The first is always front and center in our minds: Increase the long-term earning power of Berkshire’s controlled businesses through internal growth or by making acquisitions. Today, internal opportunities deliver far better returns than acquisitions. The size of those opportunities, however, is small compared to Berkshire’s resources.Our second choice is to buy non-controlling part-interests in the many good or great businesses that are publicly traded. From time to time, such possibilities are both numerous and blatantly attractive. Today, though, we find little that excites us.That’s largely because of a truism: Long-term interest rates that are low push the prices of all productive investments upward, whether these are stocks, apartments, farms, oil wells, whatever. Other factors influence valuations as well, but interest rates will always be important.Our final path to value creation is to repurchase Berkshire shares. Through that simple act, we increase your share of the many controlled and non-controlled businesses Berkshire owns. When the price/value equation is right, this path is the easiest and most certain way for us to increase your wealth. (Alongside the accretion of value to continuing shareholders, a couple of other parties gain: Repurchases are modestly beneficial to the seller of the repurchased shares and to society as well.)Periodically, as alternative paths become unattractive, repurchases make good sense for Berkshire’s owners. During the past two years, we therefore repurchased 9% of the shares that were outstanding at yearend 2019 for a total cost of $51.7 billion. That expenditure left our continuing shareholders owning about 10% more of all Berkshire businesses, whether these are wholly-owned (such as BNSF and GEICO) or partly-owned (such as Coca-Cola and Moody’s).I want to underscore that for Berkshire repurchases to make sense, our shares must offer appropriate value. We don’t want to overpay for the shares of other companies, and it would be value-destroying if we were to overpay when we are buying Berkshire. As of February 23, 2022, since yearend we repurchased additional shares at a cost of $1.2 billion. Our appetite remains large but will always remain price-dependent.It should be noted that Berkshire’s buyback opportunities are limited because of its high-class investor base. If our shares were heavily held by short-term speculators, both price volatility and transaction volumes would materially increase. That kind of reshaping would offer us far greater opportunities for creating value by making repurchases. Nevertheless, Charlie and I far prefer the owners we have, even though their admirable buy-and-keep attitudes limit the extent to which long-term shareholders can profit from opportunistic repurchases.Finally, one easily-overlooked value calculation specific to Berkshire: As we’ve discussed, insurance “float” of the right sort is of great value to us. As it happens, repurchases automatically increase the amount of “float” per share. That figure has increased during the past two years by 25% – going from $79,387 per “A” share to $99,497, a meaningful gain that, as noted, owes some thanks to repurchases.A Wonderful Man and a Wonderful BusinessLast year, Paul Andrews died. Paul was the founder and CEO of TTI, a Fort Worth-based subsidiary of Berkshire. Throughout his life – in both his business and his personal pursuits – Paul quietly displayed all the qualities that Charlie and I admire. His story should be told.In 1971, Paul was working as a purchasing agent for General Dynamics when the roof fell in. After losing a huge defense contract, the company fired thousands of employees, including Paul.With his first child due soon, Paul decided to bet on himself, using $500 of his savings to found Tex-Tronics (later renamed TTI). The company set itself up to distribute small electronic components, and first-year sales totaled $112,000. Today, TTI markets more than one million different items with annual volume of $7.7 billion.But back to 2006: Paul, at 63, then found himself happy with his family, his job, and his associates. But he had one nagging worry, heightened because he had recently witnessed a friend’s early death and the disastrous results that followed for that man’s family and business. What, Paul asked himself in 2006, would happen to the many people depending on him if he should unexpectedly die?For a year, Paul wrestled with his options. Sell to a competitor? From a strictly economic viewpoint, that course made the most sense. After all, competitors could envision lucrative “synergies” – savings that would be achieved as the acquiror slashed duplicated functions at TTI.But . . . Such a purchaser would most certainly also retain its CFO, its legal counsel, its HR unit. Their TTI counterparts would therefore be sent packing. And ugh! If a new distribution center were to be needed, the acquirer’s home city would certainly be favored over Fort Worth.Whatever the financial benefits, Paul quickly concluded that selling to a competitor was not for him. He next considered seeking a financial buyer, a species once labeled – aptly so – a leveraged buyout firm. Paul knew, however, that such a purchaser would be focused on an “exit strategy.” And who could know what that would be? Brooding over it all, Paul found himself having no interest in handing his 35-year-old creation over to a reseller.When Paul met me, he explained why he had eliminated these two alternatives as buyers. He then summed up his dilemma by saying – in far more tactful phrasing than this – “After a year of pondering the alternatives, I want to sell to Berkshire because you are the only guy left.” So, I made an offer and Paul said “Yes.” One meeting; one lunch; one deal.To say we both lived happily ever after is an understatement. When Berkshire purchased TTI, the company employed 2,387. Now the number is 8,043. A large percentage of that growth took place in Fort Worth and environs. Earnings have increased 673%.Annually, I would call Paul and tell him his salary should be substantially increased. Annually, he would tell me, “We can talk about that next year, Warren; I’m too busy now.”When Greg Abel and I attended Paul’s memorial service, we met children, grandchildren, long-time associates (including TTI’s first employee) and John Roach, the former CEO of a Fort Worth company Berkshire had purchased in 2000. John had steered his friend Paul to Omaha, instinctively knowing we would be a match.At the service, Greg and I heard about the multitudes of people and organizations that Paul had silently supported. The breadth of his generosity was extraordinary – geared always to improving the lives of others, particularly those in Fort Worth.In all ways, Paul was a class act.* * * * * * * * * * * *Good luck – occasionally extraordinary luck – has played its part at Berkshire. If Paul and I had not enjoyed a mutual friend – John Roach – TTI would not have found its home with us. But that ample serving of luck was only the beginning. TTI was soon to lead Berkshire to its most important acquisition.Every fall, Berkshire directors gather for a presentation by a few of our executives. We sometimes choose the site based upon the location of a recent acquisition, by that means allowing directors to meet the new subsidiary’s CEO and learn more about the acquiree’s activities.In the fall of 2009, we consequently selected Fort Worth so that we could visit TTI. At that time, BNSF, which also had Fort Worth as its hometown, was the third-largest holding among our marketable equities. Despite that large stake, I had never visited the railroad’s headquarters.Deb Bosanek, my assistant, scheduled our board’s opening dinner for October 22. Meanwhile, I arranged to arrive earlier that day to meet with Matt Rose, CEO of BNSF, whose accomplishments I had long admired. When I made the date, I had no idea that our get-together would coincide with BNSF’s third-quarter earnings report, which was released late on the 22nd.The market reacted badly to the railroad’s results. The Great Recession was in full force in the third quarter, and BNSF’s earnings reflected that slump. The economic outlook was also bleak, and Wall Street wasn’t feeling friendly to railroads – or much else.On the following day, I again got together with Matt and suggested that Berkshire would offer the railroad a better long-term home than it could expect as a public company. I also told him the maximum price that Berkshire would pay.Matt relayed the offer to his directors and advisors. Eleven busy days later, Berkshire and BNSF announced a firm deal. And here I’ll venture a rare prediction: BNSF will be a key asset for Berkshire and our country a century from now.The BNSF acquisition would never have happened if Paul Andrews hadn’t sized up Berkshire as the right home for TTI.ThanksI taught my first investing class 70 years ago. Since then, I have enjoyed working almost every year with students of all ages, finally “retiring” from that pursuit in 2018.Along the way, my toughest audience was my grandson’s fifth-grade class. The 11-year-olds were squirming in their seats and giving me blank stares until I mentioned Coca-Cola and its famous secret formula. Instantly, every hand went up, and I learned that “secrets” are catnip to kids.Teaching, like writing, has helped me develop and clarify my own thoughts. Charlie calls this phenomenon the orangutan effect: If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.Talking to university students is far superior. I have urged that they seek employment in (1) the field and (2) with the kind of people they would select, if they had no need for money. Economic realities, I acknowledge, may interfere with that kind of search. Even so, I urge the students never to give up the quest, for when they find that sort of job, they will no longer be “working.”Charlie and I, ourselves, followed that liberating course after a few early stumbles. We both started as part- timers at my grandfather’s grocery store, Charlie in 1940 and I in 1942. We were each assigned boring tasks and paid little, definitely not what we had in mind. Charlie later took up law, and I tried selling securities. Job satisfaction continued to elude us.Finally, at Berkshire, we found what we love to do. With very few exceptions, we have now “worked” for many decades with people whom we like and trust. It’s a joy in life to join with managers such as Paul Andrews or the Berkshire families I told you about last year. In our home office, we employ decent and talented people – no jerks. Turnover averages, perhaps, one person per year.I would like, however, to emphasize a further item that turns our jobs into fun and satisfaction workingfor you. There is nothing more rewarding to Charlie and me than enjoying the trust of individual long-term shareholders who, for many decades, have joined us with the expectation that we would be a reliable custodian of their funds.Obviously, we can’t select our owners, as we could do if our form of operation were a partnership. Anyone can buy shares of Berkshire today with the intention of soon reselling them. For sure, we get a few of that type of shareholder, just as we get index funds that own huge amounts of Berkshire simply because they are required to do so.To a truly unusual degree, however, Berkshire has as owners a very large corps of individuals and families that have elected to join us with an intent approaching “til death do us part.” Often, they have trusted us with a large – some might say excessive – portion of their savings.Berkshire, these shareholders would sometimes acknowledge, might be far from the best selection they could have made. But they would add that Berkshire would rank high among those with which they would be most comfortable. And people who are comfortable with their investments will, on average, achieve better results than those who are motivated by ever-changing headlines, chatter and promises.Long-term individual owners are both the “partners” Charlie and I have always sought and the ones we constantly have in mind as we make decisions at Berkshire. To them we say, “It feels good to ‘work’ for you, and you have our thanks for your trust.”The Annual MeetingClear your calendar! Berkshire will have its annual gathering of capitalists in Omaha on Friday, April 29th through Sunday, May 1st. The details regarding the weekend are laid out on pages A-1 and A-2. Omaha eagerly awaits you, as do I.I will end this letter with a sales pitch. “Cousin” Jimmy Buffett has designed a pontoon “party” boat that is now being manufactured by Forest River, a Berkshire subsidiary. The boat will be introduced on April 29 at our Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains. And, for two days only, shareholders will be able to purchase Jimmy’s masterpiece at a 10% discount. Your bargain-hunting chairman will be buying a boat for his family’s use. Join me.February 26, 2022Warren E.

The semiconductor industry has been through a lot, but it’s now entering an even more challenging phase.</p><p>The complex geopolitical landscape is one of the many challenges businesses face in an ever-changing world. The conflict between China and Taiwan, rising tensions over trade agreements with other countries such as America and China (to name just two), can have devastating effects on any business that relies heavily upon those supplies for their success — which includes almost every company out there.</p><p>In addition, demand for semiconductor chips is extremely high. And there is no way the industry can keep up with it at this stage. Estimates vary when the companies in the sector will get ahold of the situation. However, it is certainly weighing down sentiment.</p><p>The tech downturn has been a big hit on the semiconductor sector.

Intel is one of the best semiconductor stocks based on its exposure to the industry. Several other factors make it one of the most compelling investments available.</p><p>The company’s main business is making chips for PCs/servers and selling them. The industry stagnated for several years. However, the pandemic brought it back to life. People have bought machines to work or study, which has provided better business for the company.</p><p>Alongside its efforts in the semiconductor space, Intel has invested in many other businesses over the years, including Mobileye. This operating unit is expected to generate a profit for Intel this year.</p><p>Overall, Intel is one of the biggest computer chip manufacturers globally.

The pandemic caused an economic effect that led to unprecedented demand for electronic devices of all sorts, most of which require semiconductors to function.Demand for goods and services was up across many industries, including computers, cars and cell phones. The semiconductor industry has been through a lot, but it’s now entering an even more challenging phase.The complex geopolitical landscape is one of the many challenges businesses face in an ever-changing world. The conflict between China and Taiwan, rising tensions over trade agreements with other countries such as America and China (to name just two), can have devastating effects on any business that relies heavily upon those supplies for their success — which includes almost every company out there.In addition, demand for semiconductor chips is extremely high. And there is no way the industry can keep up with it at this stage. Estimates vary when the companies in the sector will get ahold of the situation. However, it is certainly weighing down sentiment.The tech downturn has been a big hit on the semiconductor sector. But that has also created opportunities in the industry as prices fall, making it more attractive to enter into a stock before it takes off again.Intel Texas Instruments United Microelectronics Analog Devices Advanced Micro Devices Camtek Ambarella Semiconductor Stocks: Intel Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.comIntel is a chipmaker that has been around for just over half a century. It has been leading the world in technology since its inception.Intel is among the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers and one of the top five global PC makers. Intel is one of the best semiconductor stocks based on its exposure to the industry. Several other factors make it one of the most compelling investments available.The company’s main business is making chips for PCs/servers and selling them. The industry stagnated for several years. However, the pandemic brought it back to life. People have bought machines to work or study, which has provided better business for the company.Alongside its efforts in the semiconductor space, Intel has invested in many other businesses over the years, including Mobileye. This operating unit is expected to generate a profit for Intel this year.Overall, Intel is one of the biggest computer chip manufacturers globally. It is also one of the cheapest blue-chip stocks out there, trading at just 13.8 times forward price-to-earnings.The history of the organization, its strong earnings profile and robust outlook mean INTC stock is a great one for your portfolio.

That would take the benchmark to 1.25%-1.5% by the end of the year.Shifts are now seen by Goldman Sachs in March, May, July, September and December. They also expect officials to announce the start of a balance sheet reduction in June.The switch came days after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said officials were ready to raise rates in March and left the door open to moving at every meeting if needed to curb the fastest inflation in 40 years. A government report on Friday showed the Employment Cost Index rose 4% in the year through December, the most in two decades.Fed Kicks Off Most Aggressive Global Tightening in Decades“The evidence that wage growth is running above levels consistent with the Fed’s inflation target has strengthened, and we have revised up our inflation path,” the Goldman Sachs economists said in a report to clients. “In addition, Chair Powell’s comments earlier this week made it clear that the Fed leadership is open to a more aggressive pace of tightening.”The Fed could still switch gears if market conditions change or the economy decelerates much faster than projected, or tighten monetary policy even more than forecast if inflation remains high enough, they said.Even as they agreed the Fed will do more than they previously bet, banks were divided this week over how aggressive policy makers would be.Bank of America Corp. now predicts seven rate hikes in 2022 and BNP Paribas SA forecasts six, while JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Deutsche Bank AG see five.Nomura Holdings Inc. even reckons the central bank will deliver a 50 basis points increase in March, which would be the biggest move since 2000.Bloomberg Economics is sticking with the projection of five hikes it made earlier this month, though Chief Economist Anna Wong said this week there is a risk of six increases.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":650,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869967606,"gmtCreate":1632236456705,"gmtModify":1676530731936,"author":{"id":"3574889239987561","authorId":"3574889239987561","name":"Gamestonk11","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57d87914fd79b0fd11508b722d7f4e19","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574889239987561","authorIdStr":"3574889239987561"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gamestonk","listText":"Gamestonk","text":"Gamestonk","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/869967606","repostId":"1103252137","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103252137","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632234754,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103252137?lang=&edition=full_marsco","pubTime":"2021-09-21 22:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dip Buying Returns as Retail Investors Pounce on Market Drop","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103252137","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Retail investors took advantage of Monday’s market selloff to pile back into some of the largest U.S","content":"<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8c2646136c8b5a694ca5a64d5f0512c\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"454\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Retail investors took advantage of Monday’s market selloff to pile back into some of the largest U.S. exchange-traded funds and bank stocks, bucking some worries that the group would let stocks tumble.</p>\n<p>Individual investors bought a total of $1.93 billion worth of assets Monday, the fourth-largest net buying since the start of the pandemic, according to data from Vanda Research, a firm that tracks retail-trading flows in the U.S.</p>\n<p>Buying from the day-trading crowd was mostly concentrated in ETFs that track closely-watched U.S. benchmark indexes, including the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (ticker SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (ticker QQQ), which saw combined inflows of $337 million, according to Vanda’s Ben Onatibia.
