No need to go on for the success Berkshire Hathway Seen under the stewardship of Warren Buffett and his team. They have outperformed the market and made billions in the process. I remain bullish in following the company's portfolio, even if Warren Buffett is stepping back from being in charge.
Greg Abel, his successor, and the rest of the Berkshire team have learned from the best of the best, and I think their choices hold influence. To that end, here are three Berkshire Hathaway stocks I like right now.

Financial services like Visa(NYSE: V) Don't get out of style. This is a constant performer who pays over time. Over the past four years, the company has created two -digit percentage revenue growth, and remains one of the great players in credit and payment services.
Over the past few years, Visa has created two -digit revenue growth rates, with similar income trends, as net income reached $ 19.6 billion last year. I like how the company slowly reduces shares due, which improves the potential of earnings for shareholders over the long term. In addition, estimates call for earnings to continue to increase each year over the next four years. This is a constant stock that stands to achieve over time.
Overall, it is difficult to bet against credit cards and their related services. More and more people are looking to simplify their purchases and move away from cash, and Visa is still standing to win from that. As long as the world's economy continues to grow, and people are facilitating more and more money, Visa is definitely worth looking at.
Apple(NASDAQ: AAPL) In a slow piece, which makes me think this is a great time to get involved. Down over 20% in the past six months, Apple is facing the task of creating new innovations in its lineup. The endless new iPhones are not so different from those before, and they are Apple's business bread and butter.
This does not mean that the story is over though. Artificial intelligence (AI) and growing technology are still leaving Apple with opportunities, and this dip could be the perfect time to buy the stock. Yes, Warren Buffett shrunk Berkshire's site is the company, but that doesn't mean it's a bad purchase today. The company is still selling tons of iPhones, and revenue from that segment continues to grow.
When you look at Apple's latest results, things look better than you think. Through the first six months of financial 2025, total revenue increased by around 4.4% to $ 219.6 billion. Overall, Apple goes slowly and steadily. Its flagship product, the iPhone, grew revenue just under 2% in the second financial quarter, while total sales increased 5% year -on -year in the second quarter to $ 95.4 billion.
Overall, there is a significant “trench” as Buffett likes to call it in terms of new competitors trying to enter the industry. Try building a trillion-doler technology conglomerate and see how far you get! The iPhone is an integral part of many individuals' lives, and that's not going to change anytime soon. This challenge is to wait for the tariffs implemented by President Donald Trump on foreign manufacturing. But I am skeptical of the long -term impact tariffs that the tariffs will have on Apple's production.
The last time I wrote about Chubb(NYSE: CB) was in October 2024. Although not much has happened to the stock since then, I still consider this a good long -term drama. At 31 March, Chubb represented 2.8% of the Berkshire portfolio. This is an insurance company that produces two -digit annual revenue growth, operates in 54 countries, and has strong estimates for the future.
For me, Berkshire Hathaway's blessing tells me that this insurance business has potential. Analyst estimates call for a weaker financial 2025, with earnings estimates of $ 21.79, which would indicate a decline of last year's earnings of $ 22.70. So why do I like the stock? After this year, estimates go up. By the financial 2027, average estimates call for earnings of $ 28.29 per share.
For me, this is a buying and waiting stock. Weak 2025 should provide opportunities to acquire shares to hold them in the long term. With the stock just trading 13.9 Earnings timesIt can be seen why Berkshire is interested. Insurance is a business that is not going anywhere. Love or hate it, it is part of life, which makes Chubb-free still to me.
