Buffett’s Portfolio Shift: 4 Stocks to Watch From Berkshire’s Latest 13F

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has released its Q4 2025 13F filing — offering investors a final snapshot of the portfolio as Buffett officially retired at the end of 2025.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what changed, what was trimmed, and the four Buffett-backed stocks analysts believe still offer value today

Key Highlights From Berkshire’s Q4 2025 13F

New Position Initiated
• New York Times Company (NYT)
Berkshire bought over 5 million shares, becoming one of the publisher’s top shareholders.
Shares rose 35% in 2025, though analysts currently view the stock as slightly overvalued.

Stocks Berkshire Trimmed or Sold

Buffett and his team continued reducing exposure to several major holdings:
• Amazon (AMZN) – Sold more than 75% of its position.
• Apple (AAPL) – Continued trimming (selling since Sept 2023).
• Bank of America (BAC) – Ongoing reduction since July 2024.
• Constellation Brands (STZ) – Position reduced.
• Several others including Aon, DaVita, Liberty Latin America, Pool Corp.

Despite the cuts, Apple remains Berkshire’s largest holding — for now.

Stocks Berkshire Added To

Berkshire increased its stakes in:
• Chevron (CVX)
• Chubb (CB)
• Domino’s Pizza (DPZ)
• Lamar Advertising (LAMR)

This signals confidence in energy, insurance, consumer dining, and advertising sectors.

4 Warren Buffett Stocks Analysts Say Are Undervalued

While many Berkshire holdings look fairly valued, Morningstar identifies four stocks that currently trade below their estimated fair value:

1️⃣ Diageo (DEO)
⭐ 4-Star Rating
• Wide Economic Moat
• Trades ~16% below fair value

Owner of global brands like Guinness and Captain Morgan, Diageo has faced short-term alcohol consumption slowdowns. However, analysts believe its strong brand portfolio and strategic repositioning make it attractive long term.

2️⃣ Domino’s Pizza (DPZ)
⭐ 4-Star Rating
• Wide Moat
• ~14% undervalued

Berkshire now owns nearly 10% of Domino’s. As consumers seek value-oriented dining options, Domino’s strong brand and operational efficiency position it well — even in a tough restaurant environment.

3️⃣ Lennar (LEN)
⭐ 4-Star Rating
• ~23% undervalued

The second-largest US homebuilder struggled due to high mortgage rates, but long-term margins are expected to normalize. Analysts see recovery potential despite short-term housing market pressure.

4️⃣ Moody’s (MCO)
⭐ 4-Star Rating
• Wide Moat
• ~22% undervalued

Moody’s stock declined amid AI disruption fears. However, analysts argue its proprietary data and ratings business give it structural protection. At current levels, it’s seen as a high-quality long-term play.

What This Means for Investors
1. Buffett continued reducing mega-cap exposure (Apple, Bank of America).
2. Berkshire is leaning into energy, insurance, and select consumer names.
3. Several high-quality companies are trading at discounts despite strong fundamentals.
4. Even after Buffett’s retirement, the portfolio still reflects long-term value principles.

Big Takeaway

The latest 13F shows a transition phase — trimming concentration risk while quietly building positions in durable, moat-driven businesses.

For value-focused investors, this filing offers both insight and opportunity.
