(MENAFN- The Rio Times) Warren Buffett's berkshire hathaway has made significant changes to its investment portfolio. The company reduced its stake in Brazilian fintech Nubank while acquiring shares in Domino's Pizza. This move reflects Buffett's ongoing strategy of adapting to market conditions and seeking value opportunities.
Berkshire sold 20.7 million shares of Nu Holdings, Nubank's parent company. The sale left Berkshire with 86.4 million shares in the fintech firm. This reduction came as Nubank's stock price fell 7.74% to $14.06 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Meanwhile, Berkshire invested in Domino's Pizza, purchasing 1.3 million shares. The stake was worth approximately $550 million at the end of September. Domino's stock closed at $430.43, down 1.28% following the news.
Buffett's company also acquired a new position in Pool Corp, a swimming pool supply distributor. Berkshire bought 404,000 shares valued at $152 million. Pool Corp's stock rose 4.17% in response to this investment.
These portfolio adjustments occurred during the third quarter of 2024. Berkshire's own Class A shares (BRK-A) increased by 0.77% to $705.99 on the New York Stock Exchange.
The changes align with Buffett's value investing philosophy. He seeks companies with strong fundamentals and growth potential at reasonable prices. The reduction in Nubank holdings may indicate concerns about the fintech sector's volatility.
Berkshire's move into Domino's Pizza suggests confidence in the food delivery industry's future. The investment in Pool Corp could reflect optimism about the home improvement sector.
