Warren Buffett as 'bearish as he ever gets' as cash holdings double

In Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B, BRK-A) Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett's annual letter to shareholders released over the weekend, the so-called "Oracle of Omaha" reported that the legendary investment firm's cash holdings nearly doubled in 2024 to $334.2 billion. Smead Capital Management CIO Bill Smead comes on to Wealth to highlight his takeaways from Berkshire's latest earnings report, such as why the company's massive cash holdings is more of a bearish indicator. "The first thing is he [Buffett] said there's nothing compelling," Smead tells Brad Smith. "A year and a half ago, he said [that] the kind of large, wide-moat, high-quality companies with high return on equity that they like to buy have been endlessly picked over. So he's gone comb to comb, endlessly picked over, nothing compelling." Watch the video above to also hear Smead's take on investing on top homebuilders like D.R. Horton (DHI). The legendary investment firm released its latest earnings results over the weekend alongside Buffett's annual letter to shareholders.

Berkshire Hathaway earnings: Takeaways from Warren Buffett's letter

In his annual letter to shareholders released over the weekend, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B, BRK-A) CEO Warren Buffett reported the legendary investment firm's cash holdings to have nearly doubled to $334.2 billion; the "Oracle of Omaha" also noted that "53% of our [Berkshire's] 189 operating businesses reported a decline in earnings." CFRA Research vice president of equity research Cathy Seifert joins Seana Smith and Brad Smith on the Morning Brief to talk more about Berkshire's latest earnings figures, posting total revenues of $371.4 billion and net earnings of $89 billion for full-year 2024. "My sense is he's [Buffett] thinking that the economy in 2025, there's a lot of uncertainty. And I think there are a lot of people who share that view. I mean, the macro picture, the geopolitical picture has a lot of uncertainty, makes it very difficult to plan," Seifert says. "And you've got equity valuations that, quite frankly, I think there are a number of us in this business that are a little surprised at how well they've they've held up, given all the risk largely... stemming out of some of the actions in Washington." The analyst highlights the growth that Berskhire's insurance business could see as it as due to pay out $1.3 billion in claims tied to wildfires this year.

Berkshire's Insurance Income Soars

First and foremost, it's important to point out that Berkshire's net income, or "earnings per share," isn't a particularly useful metric. Due to accounting rules, Berkshire must include unrealized gains and losses from its massive stock portfolio, even though they aren't actual profits or losses until Berkshire sells its stocks. The more important figure to keep track of is Berkshire's operating earnings, which tells us how Berkshire's business is doing.
