Three Stocks Warren Buffett Is Selling as a Recession Nears
Three Stocks Warren Buffett Is Selling as a Recession Nears
Friday's jobs report marked the second month in a row with substantially fewer jobs created than analysts expected—renewing fears that a recession is imminent, if not already underway.
週五的就業報告標誌着創造的就業機會連續第二個月大大低於分析師的預期,這再次引發了人們對衰退迫在眉睫甚至尚未發生的擔憂。
With all three major market indices sliding on the news, the selloff may just be getting started.
隨着消息傳出所有三大市場指數的下滑,拋售可能才剛剛開始。
And none other than Warren Buffett—the legendary "Oracle of Omaha" is leading the charge...
而唯一的莫過於禾倫·巴菲特——傳奇的 「奧馬哈甲骨文」 正在引領潮流...
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has dumped millions of shares of various stocks over the last few months—and is now sitting on a record cash position of $276 billion. The massive selling is reminiscent of Berkshire's stock sales ahead of 2022—the worst year for markets since the 2008 financial crisis.
禾倫·巴菲特的伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司在過去幾個月中拋售了數百萬股各種股票,目前的現金狀況創下了創紀錄的2760億美元。大規模拋售讓人想起伯克希爾在2022年之前的股票銷售——這是自2008年金融危機以來市場表現最差的一年。
Here are the top 3 stocks Warren Buffett is selling now.
以下是禾倫·巴菲特現在賣出的前三隻股票。
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)
蘋果公司(納斯達克股票代碼:AAPL)
Berkshire Hathaway has cut its position in Apple by nearly 50% in recent months, reducing its position from over $135 billion to just over $84 billion today.
伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司最近幾個月將其在蘋果的頭寸削減了近50%,將其頭寸從超過1350億美元減少到今天的略高於840億美元。
When asked about the move at the most recent conference for Berkshire Hathaway shareholders in May, Buffett said the move was for tax reasons.
在5月份舉行的伯克希爾·哈撒韋公司股東會議上,當被問及此舉時,巴菲特表示,此舉是出於稅收原因。
But there's no denying that Apple's earnings and revenue growth have slowed in recent months.
但不可否認的是,蘋果的收益和收入增長在最近幾個月有所放緩。
Last quarter, the tech giant reported year-over-year quarterly revenue growth of just 4.9%. Earnings growth came in at 7.9%
上個季度,這家科技巨頭報告稱,季度收入同比增長僅爲4.9%。收益增長7.9%
Bank of America (NYSE:BAC)
美國銀行(紐約證券交易所代碼:BAC)
Last quarter, Berkshire Hathaway reduced its position on Bank of America by $37 billion.
上個季度,伯克希爾·哈撒韋將其在美國銀行的頭寸減少了370億美元。
The move comes as Bank of America reports negative quarterly earnings growth of 6.8%. Revenues also shrank last quarter, retreating by 0.8%.
此舉是在美國銀行報告季度收益負增長6.8%之際採取的。上個季度的收入也萎縮了,下降了0.8%。
Analysts are forecasting a 10% dip in growth for BAC over the next quarter. Banks are typically hard-hit by recession, as rising defaults cut into their earnings. In any case, it seems that mainstream analysts see the same potential for trouble for BAC in the months ahead that Warren Buffett does.
分析師預計,下一季度BAC的增長將下降10%。銀行通常受到經濟衰退的沉重打擊,因爲違約率的增加削減了它們的收益。無論如何,主流分析師似乎認爲BAC在未來幾個月中可能遇到麻煩的可能性與禾倫·巴菲特相同。
Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX)
雪佛龍公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:CVX)
Buffett has been very bullish on oil and gas stocks in the post-Covid years, so it's interesting that he's unloaded 30.6 million shares of the energy giant last quarter.
在後疫情時期,巴菲特一直非常看好石油和天然氣股,因此有趣的是,他在上個季度拋售了這家能源巨頭的30.6萬股股票。
At one time, Chevron was the fifth-largest holding in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. But it's possible that Buffett sees a prolonged period of lower energy prices ahead, since recessions and other economic drawdowns always reduce energy demand, and therefore profits for oil and gas companies.
雪佛龍曾是伯克希爾·哈撒韋投資組合中的第五大控股公司。但是,巴菲特可能認爲未來能源價格將長期下跌,因爲衰退和其他經濟衰退總是會減少能源需求,從而減少石油和天然氣公司的利潤。
Nationally, gas prices are already over 50 cents cheaper per gallon than they were a year ago... and they're still falling, thanks to a few factors including an unusually mild hurricane season and the rise of electric vehicles.
在全國範圍內,汽油價格已經比一年前便宜了每加侖50多美分... 而且由於包括異常溫和的颶風季節和電動汽車的興起在內的幾個因素,汽油價格仍在下降。
Chevron, not coincidentally, is joining a host of energy companies coming under pressure. It reported a decline in quarterly earnings of 26.2%, and grew revenues by just 4.8% last quarter on a year-over-year basis.
雪佛龍加入了許多面臨壓力的能源公司,這並非巧合。該公司報告季度收益下降了26.2%,上個季度的收入同比僅增長了4.8%。
