Abel sees opportunities in both tech and energy<\/p>\n
Abel isn’t shy about talking about AI and, in fact, appears not only receptive to its potential but is also more than willing to focus on companies with great opportunities in that area. It’s a striking difference from Buffett, who didn’t appear as excited. Abel may simply be more comfortable with AI and know more about it, and thus, it may be an example of that subject falling within his circle of competence; Buffett has typically avoided areas that he is largely unfamiliar with.<\/p>\n
Buffett, did, however, claim to start the company’s position in tech giant Alphabet last year. Abel has added on to it. But it’s not only tech that is an opportunity for Berkshire here. The company’s new CEO astutely notes the potential for energy stocks<\/a> as well, recognizing the challenges that can come with developing data centers: “I’ve sort of always had a strong view that energy would be the constraint,” he noted in a recent interview with CNBC.<\/p>\n This opens up the possibility that Berkshire may invest in more companies in both the tech and energy sectors, in order to take advantage of AI-related opportunities.<\/p>\n Berkshire looks to be in good hands under Abel<\/p>\n Buffett was a bit cautious as his time as Berkshire CEO came to an end last year, struggling to find good value stocks to buy. But with Abel, he doesn’t appear nearly as hesitant, perhaps a sign that he recognizes greater value in AI and the latest tech opportunities. That’s great news for investors who may have been craving more growth from Berkshire, and a greater openness to tech.<\/p>\n Berkshire remains disciplined in its approach to picking individual stocks, but with its CEO now embracing opportunities in AI<\/a>, it may be an even better buy than before. Although the stock’s returns are flat this year, it can still make for an incredible long-term investment.<\/p>\n Should you buy stock in Berkshire Hathaway right now?<\/p>\n Before you buy stock in\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway, consider this:<\/p>\n The Motley Fool\u00a0Stock Advisor\u00a0analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a010 best stocks<\/a>\u00a0for investors to buy now\u2026 and\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway\u00a0wasn’t one of them.\u00a0The 10 stocks that made the cut are built for long-term growth and could produce monster returns in the coming years.<\/p>\n Consider when\u00a0Netflix\u00a0made this list on December 17, 2004… if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you’d have $421,997!*\u00a0Or\u00a0when\u00a0Nvidia\u00a0made this list on April 15, 2005… if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you’d have $1,413,876!*<\/p>\n That performance is why people listen.
