Best Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch For 2019

We generally don’t know what stocks Warren Buffett and the rest of Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK-A) (NYSE:BRK-B) stock-picking team are buying until the company’s 13-F is released. However, Buffett confirmed in a recent interview that he has bought two stocks in particular since the second quarter ended.

Specifically, Berkshire’s Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stake has gotten even larger, and the company has started buying back its own stock for the first time in years. Here’s a rundown of what we know, why Buffett could be making these moves, and whether investors should follow Buffett’s lead and invest in these two companies.

Even more Apple

Tech giant and iPhone maker Apple is already the largest stock position in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio by a wide margin. As of the end of the second quarter, Berkshire owned nearly 252 million shares of Apple, which translates to more than 5% of the trillion-dollar company and is worth about $56.7 billion at the current share price.

    And while it may not always work out well to simply copy the moves other investors make, it can pay off to use their buying and selling moves as jumping-off points in your own research. We asked three real-world investors for their insight, and they wrote about two recent Buffett buys of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and USG Corporation (NYSE:USG), and a recent Baker Brothers buy of Heron Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:HRTX).

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst L. Chen anticipates that the biotechnology company will post earnings of ($0.23) per share for the year.

  • [By George Budwell]

    Shares of the commercial-stage biotech Heron Therapeutics (NASDAQ:HRTX) gained as much as 36.3% today on abnormally high volume. What triggered this massive surge higher? 

  • [By George Budwell]

    As things stand now, Cara’s immediate future hinges directly on the strength of Korsuva’s late-stage results in both postoperative pain and CKD-associated pruritus. Having said that, I think investors should largely consider the drug’s postoperative pain indication as icing on the cake at this point. Heron Therapeutics’ (NASDAQ:HRTX)experimental pain medicine HTX-011, after all, appears to have a sizable advantage in terms of efficacy over Korsuva based on the trial data so far. And Heron is almost certainly going to beat Cara to market by several years as well, giving it a formidable first-mover advantage. 

Top Low Price Stocks To Buy Right Now

If you are an income investor looking at gold stocks you might be tempted to buy Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE:WPM), a gold and silver streaming company with a relatively high yield. It’s not a bad stock to own, but it may not be the best dividend stock for your portfolio if you don’t understand a few important basics. Here’s what you need to know before you buy Wheaton for its peer-beating dividend yield.

What Wheaton does

The first thing to understand is that Wheaton Precious Metals is not a miner. It is a streaming company. That means it provides cash up front to miners in exchange for the right to buy gold and silver at reduced rates in the future. It’s a business model that provides Wheaton with wide margins in both good markets and bad because of its contractually locked-in low prices.

Top Safest Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Back in my early 20s, when I was broke and in student-loan and credit-card debt, I started to be able to save a little money. Practically microscopic amounts but it was something.

I was so terrified of losing even those few dollars that I thought I needed to make them as safe as possible. So instead of putting them into vehicles that might actually make me some money, I put my funds into a savings account not even a high-yield savings account and once I started to save slightly more, into the safest mutual fund I could find, an intermediate bond fund.

Everyone has heard of ICOs, but an older approach involving airdrops and hard forks is gaining new traction and holders of Bitcoin and Ethereum stand to benefit significantly if the trend continues.

In an ICO, participants contribute capital to buy tokens whereas, in an airdrop (or hard fork), tokens are allocated to existing holders of a particular chaintypically Bitcoin or Ethereum. Thats right, instead of buying tokens, theyre simply given away to the holders of another coin.

If the trend continues, Bitcoin and Ethereum are poised to spin-off dozens or hundreds of crypto-offspring. If so, this phenomenon could have significant implications for Bitcoin and Ether (the native asset of Ethereum) holdersand increase urgency for prospective holders. (Disclosure: My firm, Blockchain Capital, invests in blockchain startups and crypto assets including Bitcoin and Ether.)

    (1) Tesla (TSLA) will reportedly start producing its Model Y sport utility vehicle in November 2019. Can we just say what sane people (not the Tesla fanatics who continue to shred me on Twitter each day) are probably thinking: How in the world is Tesla going to successfully produce another vehicle, a more complex one at that, when it can’t even make money on what’s rolling off its fledgling production lines currently? And how is Tesla going to pull this new vehicle off without an injection of capital? The questions around Tesla’s survival are unending and rightfully so. (2) Who cares if Netflix (NFLX) has decided to pull out of the Cannes Film Festival – you see this company’s stock lately? Netflix has become far and away the best-performing member of the FAANG (Facebook (FB) , Apple (AAPL) , Amazon (AMZN) , Netflix, Alphabet (GOOGL) ) stock club this year. Here are five reasons why. (3) Oil prices are on fire, hovering around three-year highs on heightened geopolitical tensions. That’s bad news for consumer companies such as Walmart (WMT) given the associated rise in gas prices. Prices at the pump are up about 11% from this point last year, and some surveys see prices up at least 14% this summer.

Top 10 High Tech Stocks To Watch Right Now: PACCAR Inc.(PCAR)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Jim Cramer]

    Despite the weak revenue results, PCAR has outperformed against the industry average of 21.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 1.6%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company’s bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.

     

  • [By Jim Cramer]

    PACCAR INC has improved earnings per share by 16.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, PACCAR INC increased its bottom line by earning $3.82 versus $3.30 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.58 versus $3.82).

     

  • [By JPMorgan]

    We are Neutral on PCAR as the company faces the risk of both lower volume and margin pressure from declining demand in its core NA HD truck business in 2016. However, we believe PCAR should command a premium valuation due to its track record of solid execution. In addition, PCAR pays out a normal and a special dividend which, in total, should equal ~50% of net income and currently offers a yield of 4.1% (JPMe total payout of ~$2.12/share) making it potentially attractive to income-oriented investors.

  • [By Laurie Kulikowski]

    We rate PACCAR INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B-. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company’s strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, notable return on equity, attractive valuation levels and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself.

    NVIDIA has also recently announced several partnerships lately, like the one with Microsoft,dubbed Olympus, aimed at maximizing GPU performance for data centers. Then there are also other partnerships in the self-driving cars space, like the one with Bosch, and another one with PACCAR (NASDAQ:PCAR), to develop autonomous trucks. Of course, most of these partnerships will most likely take a while before they can translate to any monetary benefits for NVIDIA. What these deals do, though, is reinforce NVIDIA’s grip over this market, which even pushed Intel (NASDAQ:INTC)to acquire Mobileye (NYSE:MBLY), to build a presence in this space. Mobileye is the company that lost business from Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)to NVIDIA last year. Putting that aside, more importantly, the price that Intel is paying to acquire Mobileye has indirectly pointed to the fact that NVIDIA may be significantly undervalued.

Many active managers complain about the rise of Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and&a;nbsp;Google (Alphabet) and how these soaring &q;FANG&a;nbsp;stocks&q; have made it all but impossible to beat the S&a;amp;P 500 Index. There are no such complaints coming from Jeffrey Altman of $2.4 billion in assets Owl Creek Asset Management, who beat the market in 2018 by straying far from the red hot FANG stocks.

Altman, who spoke at Forbes and Shook Research&a;rsquo;s Top Advisors Summit in Las Vegas on Thursday, gained over 21% net of fees by finding opportunity in everything from shorting Toy&a;rsquo;s R Us bonds, to going long the restructuring of casino giant Caesars Entertainment and betting against Bill Ackman in his multi-year battle&a;nbsp;with&a;nbsp;Herbalife. Altman and his co-portfolio manager Daniel Krueger hunt the world for deep value investments, finding opportunity in everything from restructurings to spinoffs, stub equities, turnarounds, and even soft activism. At any given time they use a flexible mandate to tilt their portfolio as much as 70% equities, or 70% credit.
