About this listen
Warren Buffett is gearing up for Berkshire Hathaway's highly anticipated Annual Shareholders Meeting set for May 3, 2025, at the CHI Health Center in Omaha. The 94-year-old investment titan has been making headlines for outperforming the market during recent volatility, with his net worth growing by $16.4 billion this year while other billionaires like Elon Musk have seen significant losses.
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has amassed a record cash position of $334 billion amid ongoing market uncertainty over tariffs and potential trade wars. The legendary investor has been particularly cautious with his holdings, focusing on companies with strong fundamentals and competitive advantages.
In recent investment moves, Buffett has doubled down on Domino's Pizza, having initially bought a stake in mid-2024 and steadily increasing that position. The company, with over 20,000 stores across 90+ international markets, fits Buffett's criteria for high returns on invested capital.
Regarding Apple, Berkshire began reducing its holdings in 2024 as shares soared, though it still retains 300 million shares. This decision proved prescient as Apple faced challenges in 2025, particularly regarding its AI capabilities and tariff implications from the Trump Administration.
The upcoming shareholder meeting will feature a renewed schedule, beginning at 7:00 AM CT when doors open, followed by a Q&A session starting at 8:00 AM with Buffett, Ajit Jain, and Greg Abel on stage. This marks a significant transition period as Abel, Buffett's named successor, takes on a more prominent role. During last year's meeting, Buffett notably endorsed Abel to handle Berkshire's investment portfolio in the future, saying "He understands businesses extremely well, and if you understand businesses, you understand common stocks."
The Genius of Warren Buffett Course 2025 has also been running this week in Omaha from April 27-May 1, offering another opportunity for investors to learn about Buffett's investment philosophy before the main event this weekend.
