Warren Buffett's Favorite Stocks

Warren Buffett, throughout his 60-year investment career, focused on finding businesses he wouldn't want to sell, rather than following the popular ones. The three companies that form the core of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, Apple, Coca-Cola, and Alphabet, are examples of the companies Buffett calls 'components'. Apple is Berkshire's largest holding and makes up about 22% of its portfolio. Buffett purchased Apple stocks in 2016, a move that was seen as unusual given his historical reluctance to invest in technology companies. Coca-Cola is another significant holding that Buffett purchased in 1988 and has never sold. The brand and business model of Coca-Cola form the basis of Buffett's long-term investment strategy.
