NYSE:V
Warren Buffet has 43% of his portfolio in APPL. APPL is a wonderful brand and strong company. He does not own it today. What worries him a little is that more than half of their revenues come from iPhone sales. They are diversifying, but it will take time. People are tending to keep their phones a year or two longer today it seems. The valuation has made it quite expensive. He would wait for a pullback or consider V, GOOG or MSFT. Warren Buffet must have some amazing incite to take on that concentration in the portfolio.
V-N vs. MA-N. He is so happy to own V-N and is kicking himself for not owning MasterCard. Shopping online promotes use of credit cards. There are so many long term tailwinds that you have to own them.
Q1 earnings strong? He owns V instead of MA. Both are in a great position in the e-commerce space with their ability to accept digital payments. The earnings announcement by MA today were strong, but transactions were down. If it takes time to see things recover, their strong cash flow position will allow them to buy back shares and shore up their balance sheet. MA trades around 30 times earnings, so he would wait for a pullback. He thinks both MA and V may be 15% over valued right now.
