4 Things To Know About Warren Buffett's Investments in Tech
The Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, is notorious for avoiding investments he doesn't fully understand. Over the years, he's skipped out on investing in tech stocks because of this. Not that this has kept him from building a substantial wealth — he's got an estimated net worth of $154 billion. See More: Read Next: But there's something to be said for embracing change. Over the years, Buffett's investing strategy has transformed in key ways. More recently, he's invested in certain tech and artificial intelligence (AI)-related stocks. Here's Buffett's specific investments that led to his foray into tech. According to Columbia Business School, Buffett's investing strategy has its roots (1941) in the Benjamin Graham school of value investing, which entails picking stocks that are priced lower than their intrinsic worth, based on company fundamentals like their earnings, assets, dividends and prospects. Trending Now: He bought his first stock when he was 11 years old for about $38 a share, per CNBC. It was in Cities Service Preferred, a natural gas company that no longer exists. Buffett's investments didn't stop with natural gas, but it wasn't until much later that he began investing in tech in 1959. When he was 29, he met Charlie Munger, the man who'd later become his business partner at Berkshire Hathaway, per From then on, his investments began to vary. Over the years, some major investing moves have included: Purchasing shares of Berkshire Hathaway for $8 apiece at age 32 (and beyond) Purchasing shares of American Express for $35 apiece at age 34 until he owned 5% of the company Investing $4 million in Walt Disney Corp at age 35 Since teaming up with Charlie Munger, he's also invested in a multitude of companies spanning real estate, media, insurance, railway services and more — to eventually include tech. The early 2010s is when Buffett began making significant moves in the tech space. Here's a timeline: In 2011, Buffett invested in IBM (Tech Services). He bought shares 14 additional times, sold shares six times and ultimately sold his entire stake by the start of 2018. Starting in 2012, Buffett began investing in VeriSign. As of 2024, he owned just over 13 million shares of the stock, according to MarketWatch. That's an estimated $2.7 billion. At the start of 2016, he began investing in Apple. His total shares are worth just over $67 billion. Apple stock makes up nearly a quarter of his entire portfolio, according to Nasdaq. Since the 2010s, Buffett has expanded his portfolio to include AI-related stocks. Here are some of the big ones: Domino's Pizza: Through Berkshire Hathaway, he owned roughly 1.3 million shares at the end of last year for a total estimated $550 million value, according to the Financial Post. Notably, Domino's is AI-adjacent as it uses AI in many ways, including through Microsoft's Azure platform, which helps with efficient and predictive ordering. Amazon: Berkshire Hathaway has sold Amazon shares over the past years, but the company still owns roughly 10 million shares worth just shy of $2 billion, per Stockcircle. They began purchasing shares around 2019. As tech continues to evolve, there's a good chance that Buffett will continue to invest in the industry — including companies that prominently use AI.

Experts Predict Whether Apple Stock Can Make You Rich by 2035
Just over a year ago, The Motley Fool asked whether Apple would be a trillion-dollar stock by 2035. Hitting the $1 trillion valuation mark is a rare and phenomenal achievement for any company, but for Apple, it would be a colossal failure, considering its market cap was $2.6 trillion at the time (and it's now at $2.9 trillion). Speculating on the future fortunes of Apple stock is a fun exercise. In fact, back in January, Insider Monkey wrote about 15 stocks that ChatGPT predicted could make investors wealthy in 10 years, and the chatbot ranked Apple No. 1, ahead of Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms and Nvidia. Read Next: Learn More: For beginner and seasoned investors, a far more interesting question would be whether Apple stock can make you rich by 2035. To answer this, GOBankingRates asked real-life industry experts whether investing in Apple stock could make you wealthy by 2025. Also see three reasons to keep an eye on Apple stock. Regardless of the quantity of shares you own, an active, expensive stock may yield an overall higher percentage gain than lower-priced stocks, but you might need to spend a lot to make a little. Is investing Apple at close to $200 a share worth it? 'Apple remains a dominant company with strong fundamentals, recurring revenue and massive cash reserves,' Dan Buckley, chief analyst and contributor at the free online trading resource told GOBankingRates. 'But expecting to make a lot from it in 10 years is unrealistic unless you're investing substantial capital.' Julia Khandoshko, an expert in tech and capital markets and CEO of leading tech and financial engineering hub Mind Money, agreed. 'There is a false perception that large technology companies like Apple are still growing as startups, and many investors expect them to have the same breakthrough growth,' Khandoshko said. 'However, for some reason, the fact that they have turned into grown and stable businesses is ignored.' 'There is no doubt Apple has been very successful, but shares are currently trading on a forward P/E (forward price-to-earnings ratio based on estimates of future earnings for the coming 12 months) of 27, and that is too rich for me,' said Vince Stanzione, CEO and founder of First Information and author of The Millionaire Dropout. For comparison, the S&P is hovering around a forward P/E of almost 22 right now. 'Make no mistake, Apple is a cash cow and users are tied into the Apple brand and app store ecosystem, but Apple reminds me of an ageing rock band living off old hits and royalties,' Stanzione added. Check Out: There's also the question of the intense competition Apple faces now and in a tech-reliant, tech-investing future. 'The company faces increasing competition, regulatory pressures and the challenge of keeping pace with new innovations, which could lead to periods of slower growth compared to its past trajectory,' Buckley said. People trust brands probably more than they should. But if a company misses on a product or falls behind emerging tech, loyalty goes out the window. For Apple, 'services now carry a big piece of the load: High-margin, recurring revenue [are] tied to the iPhone,' said David Materazzi, CEO and founder of Galileo FX, the popular automated trading platform. However, that's the catch, he explained. 'The more Apple shifts to services, the more it still depends on hardware. Without new hit products, that becomes a treadmill. People assume the brand protects them. It doesn't. It attracts them, then it demands performance. It's priced for precision,' Materazzi said. 'So, if we're not expecting any major breakthroughs from Apple, we should view it as a company that thrives on its large, loyal customer base and generates steady income from it,' Khandoshko said. 'From this perspective, Apple is a solid long-term investment with predictable cash flows — but it's not the kind of stock for speculation or chasing exponential returns.' You can't argue with Apple's performance; it continues to drive the tech industry and its market cap continues to increase. However, in the next 10 years, a downturn isn't out of the question. Stanzione summed up what all the experts we asked felt. 'I don't believe Apple will disappear in the next decade, but unless some amazing new product comes out soon it's turning into a utility type stock that will give you a decent return and a small dividend but not make you fantastically rich in my opinion,' he said.
