The Next Buffett-Backed Stock to Skyrocket? Clues Drop Friday

Published 02/13/2025, 08:20 PM

Warren Buffett, widely acknowledged as the world's most renowned investor, is known for his unique approach and long track record of outperforming the market. Regarded as a premier value investor, Buffett has a keen eye for spotting undervalued opportunities.

As a result, millions of investors globally keep a close watch on the investments made by his company, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKa), either drawing inspiration from or closely mimicking his strategies.

The 13Fs are Due Tomorrow: What are Warren Buffett's Latest Portfolio Moves?

Investors looking to stay updated on Warren Buffett's holdings can refer to SEC filings, as U.S. regulations require large investors to regularly disclose their positions.

The most significant of these filings are the quarterly "13Fs," which reveal all portfolio changes for the previous quarter. The 13Fs for the fourth quarter of 2024 are scheduled for release this Friday, February 14, after U.S. stock markets close.

Recently, it was reported that Buffett increased his stakes in Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) and (NASDAQ:SIRI) over the past few months.

At that point, investors will be able to see which stocks Buffett has adjusted his positions in and, importantly, which new stocks, if any, have been added to or removed from his portfolio.

Typically, new additions to Buffett's portfolio experience a notable increase in value once disclosed, while stocks that are sold off tend to see declines.

Staying Informed About Buffett's Positions

Rather than going through the voluminous 13Fs on the SEC's user-unfriendly website, many investors rely on tools designed to cut to the chase. One such tool platform InvestingPro's Ideas section.
