Berkshire’s cash-heavy war chest positions it to hunt bargains in a looming downturn.
This 5-Minute Pitch was originally published on Seeking Alpha before the launch of the Hunting Alphas website. It is shared here to showcase my previous work and track record. New 5-Minute Pitches published on this site will not be disseminated anywhere else.
Elevator Pitch
- Contrary to my expectations, Berkshire Hathaway has been very resilient, outperforming the S&P500 by more than 12%.
- I anticipate further sales of Bank of America stock, as Berkshire's holding of BAC has not settled in at a round figure yet.
- Berkshire's cash buildup positions it well in a protracted downturn.
- The chances of an economic and stock market downturn are higher given the recession warnings flashed by the convergence of leading economic indicators, overall recession probabilities and S&P500's high valuations.
- Berkshire stock's valuations are at a premium, but given the likelihood of a downturn and the conglomerate's resiliency, I believe this premium is deserved.
