One gathers the financial press is in a state of near hysteria. February 17th, you see, marked the deadline for those tedious 13F filings. All frightfully dull, of course, but occasionally one unearths a little something. This time, it appears the venerable Mr. Buffett, having finally relinquished the reins at Berkshire Hathaway, spent his last quarter as CEO acquiring… Domino’s Pizza. Domino’s! Honestly, one would have anticipated something a trifle more… distinguished. But then, late-life whims are rarely logical, are they?
He’d been nibbling at the stock for six months, apparently. A most peculiar habit for a man who’d spent the previous three years divesting, wouldn’t you agree? One suspects a touch of boredom may have been involved. Or perhaps a quiet rebellion against the earnest pronouncements of his successors. Whatever the reason, the numbers are as follows:
- Q3 2024: 1,277,256 shares purchased
- Q4 2024: 1,104,744 shares purchased
- Q1 2025: 238,613 shares purchased
- Q2 2025: 13,255 shares purchased
- Q3 2025: 348,077 shares purchased
- Q4 2025: 368,055 shares purchased (Total: 3,350,000 shares)
Nearly ten percent of the company, by the look of it. One imagines the boardroom is currently awash with nervous executives and hastily rewritten business plans. A perfectly amusing spectacle, if one isn’t involved, naturally.
The usual justifications are, of course, being trotted out. A soaring share price (over 6,000% since 2004, apparently). Management exceeding expectations. Shareholders being ‘incentivized’. All perfectly respectable, I suppose. But let’s be honest, the real reason is valuation. Domino’s shares have been… softening, shall we say? A forward P/E ratio of 19? A 29% discount to the five-year average? That, my dear, is what catches a seasoned investor’s eye. Not some sentimental attachment to a fast-food chain.
Buffett always had a knack for spotting value where others saw only pepperoni and grease. He’s a scavenger, really. A perfectly respectable profession, of course, but one rarely discussed in polite society.
One suspects this isn’t about a long-term belief in the culinary arts. It’s a classic contrarian play. Everyone else is chasing the latest tech bubble, and Buffett is quietly accumulating shares in a company that delivers… well, pizza. It’s almost refreshing, in a way. A touch of common sense in a world gone mad.
Whether it’s a stroke of genius or a late-life folly remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: it’s a far more interesting story than another breathless report on artificial intelligence or sustainable energy. And frankly, in this dreary age, a little amusement is worth a great deal.
