Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has been a net seller of stocks for nine consecutive quarters, accumulating a cash reserve of over $344 billion. Despite the recent market downturn, Buffett emphasizes the importance of buying outstanding companies at fair prices rather than settling for mediocre ones at bargain prices. While he remains cautious about current valuations, he continues to seek investment opportunities, adhering to his principle of being fearful when others are greedy.
Elon Musk has sold his social media platform, X, to his AI company, xAI, for $33 billion, a significant drop from his 2022 purchase price but an improvement from its recent low valuation. Musk stated that the merger will enhance both companies by integrating AI capabilities with X's extensive reach. Despite past controversies and advertiser departures, major brands like Amazon and Apple are reportedly returning to X, contributing to a rebound in its fortunes.
Elon Musk's social media platform, X, has been acquired by his AI company, xAI, in an all-stock deal valued at $45 billion. This merger, which values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion after accounting for debt, aims to combine advanced AI capabilities with X's extensive user base of over 600 million.Musk emphasized that the integration will enhance user experiences while maintaining a commitment to truth and knowledge. Notable developments under Musk's leadership include the launch of the AI model Grok and the reinstatement of former President Trump's account.
Elon Musk is actively campaigning in Wisconsin ahead of a crucial state Supreme Court election, offering $1 million checks to those who oppose "activist judges." After a potentially illegal promise to pay voters for participation, he shifted his strategy to focus on petition signers. With over $12 million invested in the race, Musk aims to influence the court's balance, which could impact congressional districting and the GOP's chances in the 2026 midterms. The outcome hinges on whether liberal or conservative candidates prevail, affecting the court's majority through 2028.
On March 28, 2025, a buy-back of securities was announced, signaling a strategic move by the company to enhance shareholder value. This initiative reflects a commitment to optimizing capital structure and potentially increasing stock prices. Further details are expected to follow.
The S&P 500 has dropped 7% from its peak, with 2025 earnings estimates cut by 4%. Despite this, Bank of America analysts assert the index remains statistically expensive, trading at 20x forward earnings compared to 14x in Europe. They highlight risks in the tech sector and policy uncertainty, while still recognizing long-term advantages for U.S. equities, particularly in large-cap value.
UBS has lowered its year-end S&P 500 target from 6,600 to 6,400 but remains optimistic about a recovery, citing policy clarity, economic resilience, and AI investments as key drivers. Despite recent economic weakness and tariff concerns, historical patterns suggest potential gains in the coming months. The firm has revised its full-year earnings estimate down from $270 to $265, reflecting slowed consumer and corporate spending due to ongoing uncertainty.
On April 2, President Trump is expected to implement significant reciprocal tariffs on 15-25 countries, potentially using Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 or the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. These tariffs may target nations with large trade deficits with the U.S. and high trade barriers, including China, the EU, India, Canada, and Japan. Barclays anticipates that real negotiations will commence post-April 2, warning of prolonged trade tensions ahead.
