Нет смысла, наверное говорить о том кто такой Уоррен Баффет. В данном материале — шесть недавних покупок Баффета. В том числе два технолога, к которым раньше инвестор относился достаточно прохладно.
International Business Machine Corporation (IBM)
IBM has a market cap of $214.07 billion with a price to earnings ratio of 14.31. The stock has traded in a 52 week range between $141.28 and $190.53. The stock is currently trading around $182. The company reported third quarter revenues of $26.1 billion compared to revenues of $24.2 billion in the third quarter of 2010. Third quarter net income was $3.9 billion compared to net income of $3.6 billion in the third quarter of 2010.
One of IBM’s competitors is the Hewlett Packard Company (HPQ). HPQ is currently trading around $28 with a market cap of $53.37 billion and a price to earnings ratio of 1.7%. HPQ pays a dividend which yields 1.7% versus IBM whose dividend yields 1.6%.
Berkshire Hathaway currently owns 57, 348,984 shares of IBM. Berkshire Hathaway purchased 32,494,240 shares of IBM in the third quarter of 2011. IBM is one of the largest Internet technology companies in the world. The company does a good job of increasing earnings and has increased its net income in each of the last five years. The company’s year-over-year third quarter revenues increased by 7.8% while its net income increased by 8.6%. Investors like IBM’s consistent earnings growth and overall safety. The stock price is up by 27.4% over the last 52 weeks. The company got a vote of confidence from Mr. Buffett who said that “I felt that IBM had a very good business.» IBM has a diversified business which should help it to continue growing its earnings. I agree with Mr. Buffett.
Wells Fargo & Company (WFC)
Wells Fargo has a market cap of $127.67 billion with a price to earnings ratio of 8.95. The stock has traded in a 52 week range between $22.58 and $34.25. The stock is currently trading around $24.

Third quarter net income was $4 billion compared to net income of $3.3 billion in the third quarter of 2010.
One of WFC’s competitors is Bank of America (BAC). BAC is currently trading around $5.50 with a market cap of $55.65 billion and a negative price to earnings ratio. BAC pays a dividend which yields 0.7% versus WFC whose dividend yields 1.9%.
Berkshire Hathaway currently owns 176,618,608 shares of WFC. Berkshire Hathaway purchased 9,042,200 of WFC in the third quarter of 2011. WFC is a bank that was not adversely affected by the sub-prime mortgage disaster. The company has made a profit in every year for the last decade and has increased its net income in each of the last six quarters. Despite the company’s stellar earnings, the stock price is down by 9.78% over the last 52 weeks. I think that the stock of WFC has been dragged down, because of the markets negative sentiment towards banking stocks. I believe that with time, fundamentals will win out, and that the stock price of WFC will move up.
Intel Corporation (INTC)
Intel has a market cap of $120.02 billion with a price to earnings ratio of 10.21. The stock has traded in a 52 week range between $19.16 and $25.50. The stock is currently trading around $24.

One of INTC’s competitors is Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD). AMD is currently trading around $5 with a market cap of $3.78 billion and a price to earnings ratio of 3.85. AMD does not pay a dividend versus INTC whose dividend yields 3.5%.
Berkshire Hathaway currently owns 9,333,000 shares of INTC. Berkshire Hathaway purchased all 9,333,000 of those shares in the third quarter of 2011. INTC has done an excellent job of increasing earnings. In 2010, the company increased its net income by 165%. The company increased its third quarter year-over-year revenues by 28% and its net income by 17%. Investor’s have noticed the company’s strong earnings, and have bid the stock up by 11.7% over the last 52 weeks and 98.4% over the last three years. The stock (price to earnings ratio 10.21/price to book ratio 2.62) is still relative cheap for a fast growing tech company. INTC is only the second tech company that Warren Buffett has invested in, and I think he made a smart decision.

If Walgreens is unable to renew its contract with Express Scripts it will lose 90 million prescriptions, and much of that business could be picked up by CVS. Investors like CVS’s future prospects, and have bid the stock price up by 21.7% over the last 52 weeks and 48% over the last three years. On November 21st, CNBC stock analyst Jim Cramer gave CVS his endorsement.
