As far as we know, the “Oracle of Omaha” has never written a book detailing his investment strategy, and there is no definitive list of acquisitions for his portfolio either. But part of his stock selection strategy can be gleaned from Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRKB) annual reports, which we suggest you do, Yahoo writes.

So, let’s highlight the stocks in Warren Buffett’s corporate portfolio.

In addition to stakes in Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Meta Platforms (formerly known as Facebook) and Alibaba, names like Sprouts Farmers Market Inc (SFM), Perficient Inc (PRFT) and Williams-Sonoma Inc (WSM) are among the 23 companies represented in the holding.

Construction companies Green Brick Partners Inc (GRBK) and Lennar Corporation (LEN) also made the list. In addition, we will see shares of Winnebago Industries Inc (WGO), Boot Barn Holdings Inc (BOOT) and Daqo New Energy Corp ADR ) (DQ).

Microsoft stock, with its sustainable growth status, features prominently in Berkshire’s list of long-term leaders, which fits many of the parameters of Warren Buffett’s strategy.

But looking at Berkshire Hathaway’s closely watched portfolio, we see that Buffett and his team have exited positions in pharmaceutical company Merck stock and reduced holdings in AbbVie Inc (ABBV) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY). But the addition of Alibaba, Sprouts and Williams-Sonoma to the portfolio reflects Berkshire’s increased exposure to consumer giants such as Kroger and RH (RH).

Let’s also note the attributes that any stock needs to possess to make it into a celebrity investor’s portfolio. These are: being among the top 25% of stocks in terms of EPS growth rate over 5 years, having growth of 15% or more consistently, and having an average return on equity of 12% or higher over 5 years.

Let’s also compile a ranking of Buffett’s potential stocks.


Using criteria other than those used for this list of Warren Buffett stocks, Houlihan Lokey Inc (HLI), for example, has a maximum possible composite rating of 99. The composite rating ranges from 1 (worst) to 99 (best) and indicates how strongly a company exhibits 7 clear signs of winning stocks. West Pharmaceutical Svcs (95), Sprouts Farmers Market (89), Evercore Partners Inc Inc (87) also have the highest composite rating. For example, a rating of 95 means that a stock outperforms 95% of all other stocks in terms of the most important fundamental and technical selection criteria.

And an EPS rating shows a company’s annual and quarterly earnings growth, then measures how its performance compares to other stocks. So, as with the composite ranking, a score of 95 means that a company’s earnings-per-share growth is accounted for by the top 5% of all stocks. For example, the same Houlihan Lokey (HLI) would have a rating of 98 here.

In identifying stocks with strong fundamentals, SMR Rating tracks sales growth, earnings size, and return on equity for the company as a whole. An A rating means that the company is in the top 20% of all stocks in terms of these key performance indicators. Because this rating is related to Buffett’s known focus on company fundamentals, it can be particularly useful for investors who want to know what potential stocks are in Warren Buffett’s portfolio. Specifically found here are names such as Evercore Inc.,Williams Sonoma Inc.,Microsoft Corp ., Meta Platforms Inc.,Hibbett Inc.,Winnebago Industries Inc.,Meritage Homes Corp.,Qorvo Inc.,Daqo New Energy Corp Ads, Houlihan Lokey Inc.,Green Brick Partners Inc.
