Right. So, Buffett. Still around, technically. Though “stepping down” is such a polite way of saying “slightly less actively micromanaging billions.” It’s like when you tell people you’re “taking a break” from dating, when actually you’re just hiding under the duvet. Anyway, Berkshire Hathaway, his empire, continues. And it’s all terribly…interesting.
The thing about long-term investing is it sounds so…responsible. So grown-up. I keep telling myself I’ll become a disciplined long-term investor. Then I see a shiny new tech stock and it’s all over. It’s a pattern, really. A deeply ingrained pattern. But Buffett, he actually does it. Or, he did. And now he’s…adjusting the portfolio. Which is code for “selling some things.”
Specifically, he’s been quietly offloading Bank of America. Not a total clear-out, mind you. Just…29%. Which feels significant. Like deciding you only need 71% of your sensible shoes. It’s a statement. A subtle, multi-billion dollar statement. Units of Bank of America Sold: 29%. Number of times I checked my own bank balance afterwards: 6.
And what’s he buying instead? Domino’s Pizza. Domino’s. Seriously. It’s like deciding to swap a sensible Volvo for a scooter. Don’t get me wrong, I like pizza. Who doesn’t? But as a cornerstone of a multi-billion dollar portfolio? It feels…optimistic. Or possibly slightly desperate.
Berkshire’s Slice of the Pie
Apparently, Buffett used to be a big fan of banks. A sensible, solid investment, right? Until…well, until everything happened. The pandemic, the interest rates, the general sense of impending doom. He dumped most of his bank holdings, but clung onto Bank of America. For a while. Then he started selling. It’s all very…fluid. Like trying to hold onto sand.
He’s been buying Domino’s for four consecutive quarters. Four! That’s commitment. Or possibly a very large pizza order. At the end of Q3 2025, Berkshire held around $1.3 billion worth of the stock. Which is a lot of dough. (Pun intended. I’m allowed one, right?)
Now, Domino’s isn’t exactly soaring. Its stock is down over 20%. Apparently, the delivery market is crowded, inflation is a thing, and people are expensive to employ. Who knew? It’s a bit of a struggle, really. But Buffett is a long-term investor. He’s playing the waiting game. Or maybe he just really likes a late-night pepperoni.
Still, pizza is remarkably resilient. People always need comfort food, especially during economic downturns. It’s a basic human need, like oxygen and reality television. And Domino’s is surprisingly tech-savvy. They have a decent app, fast delivery, and a management team promising a turnaround. They’re offering value, rolling out new menu items, and focusing on profitable growth. It’s all very…corporate. And hopeful.
Hours Spent Analyzing Domino’s Delivery Radius: 2. Number of Pizzas Ordered During Research: 1. Number of Times I Questioned My Life Choices: Too Many. Maybe I should just stick to sensible shoes after all.
