As of Jun 18, 2026. Market Open.
The market lets you change horses halfway through the race, and more people should take advantage of that. A better company today than a year ago. CEO has been excellent. It has aerospace, power, and renewables. A lot of future growth is already built in to the price. He'd sell.
Warren Buffett recently sold his holdings. The company has some outstanding assets and is a huge player in many areas, including renewables. Every time he looks at this, he concludes that this is just not a cheap stock. Even at the $25 level, it is probably selling for around 17 or 18 times earnings. They increase their dividend payout every year, which he is not crazy about. This isn’t a value stock. It is a really good company, probably at an OK price, but there are a lot of struggles.
