Berkshire Hathaway excels this week while tech stocks decline.

Berkshire Hathaway’s stock has remained steady, aligning closely with the S&P 500 this year, rebounding from a nearly 8% dip last week.

This development is encouraging for Berkshire, which holds about 44% of DaVita’s shares, translating to over 30 million shares valued at $4.2 billion.

On the flip side, it’s not entirely positive news. Approximately 1.7 million shares of DaVita stock are set to be sold. Prior to a recent surge, the shares were priced at $120.56, which means this batch is worth nearly $200 million.

Berkshire has a commitment, per a contract for 2024 with DaVita, to maintain its stake below 45% of the total shares outstanding, a target that dipped last quarter due to share buybacks by DaVita.

Borsheim, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, has announced plans for a significant architectural overhaul of its flagship store in Omaha, aiming to usher in what it calls a “new golden age.”

According to a statement from President and CEO Karen Gollak, the renovation aims to “reimagine the customer experience” and create “an elevated luxury environment” to enhance Borsheim’s status as a destination.

The discounted offerings for shareholders are expected to attract more visitors during Berkshire’s annual meeting weekend. Renovation work is scheduled to commence after the gathering in May, with the store remaining open throughout the construction.

The project will be designed by HDR and executed by Kiewit, both of which are based in Omaha.

audience member: I have a question for the children watching at home today and the children in the audience.

How should they view stocks when they see in the media every day about IPOs of companies that have never made a dime in their lives?

warren buffett: You don’t have to worry too much about what’s happening with IPOs or whether people are making money from them. Lottery winners appear every day, but it shouldn’t concern you.

Don’t feel envious about it. If they choose to engage in risky financial choices and see some success, that’s their decision. Your focus should be on sound judgment. When buying stocks, remember, you’re really investing in a company, not just chasing trends. Even if you haven’t followed a company’s performance for years, that’s totally fine.

Let others do what they will. You shouldn’t feel pressured to join a fleeting craze just because it’s popular. As my partner Charlie says, envy leads to many troubles. There’s no need to be jealous of those who take chances with their investments.

Instead, figure out what makes sense for you and stick to your approach.
