Berkshire Hathaway's stock has surged, reaching a price-to-sales ratio of 2.67, significantly above its 10-year average. Despite a recent halt in buybacks, the company holds a record $334 billion in cash, following a selling spree in 2024 that included trimming positions in major stocks like Apple and Bank of America. Buffett's strategy focuses on value investing and stock buybacks, having repurchased $77.8 billion worth of shares since 2018, although no buybacks occurred in the latter half of 2024.
Nvidia kicked off 2025 at CES with major announcements, including Project DIGITS, a $3,000 personal AI supercomputer capable of running models with up to 405 billion parameters. The company also unveiled the GeForce RTX 5000 Series, featuring significant performance upgrades and new AI-driven graphics capabilities. Additionally, Nvidia introduced Nemotron, a family of AI models with enhanced visual understanding, and partnerships to streamline AI agent development.
TeamViewer SE is acquiring 1E from Carlyle Group Inc. for $720 million, marking its largest acquisition to date. The deal, which is expected to close in early 2025 pending regulatory approvals, will enhance TeamViewer's presence in North America, where 1E serves clients like HP and Nike Inc.
Jim Cramer noted that the anticipated AI-driven PC upgrade cycle appears to be stalled, with recent earnings from Dell, HP, and Best Buy disappointing investors. While Best Buy reported encouraging PC sales, they were primarily due to demand for newer models rather than AI features. Cramer remains optimistic about a future refresh cycle, especially as support for Windows 10 ends next year, despite the current slow pace.
HP Inc. has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.2894 per share, payable on January 2nd, with an ex-dividend date of December 11th. The company also announced a $10 billion share buyback plan, indicating management's belief in the stock's undervaluation. Analysts maintain a "Hold" rating, with a consensus price target of $36.77, while CEO Enrique Lores sold over 211,000 shares, reducing his stake significantly.

Wall Street showed little movement on Wednesday as investors awaited the release of the personal consumption expenditures price index, delayed to 10 a.m. ET due to the holiday. The stock market will be closed on Thursday for Thanksgiving and will have an early close on Friday. On Tuesday, the Dow and S&P 500 reached record highs, while the Nasdaq made gains, inching closer to its record close from November 11.
US equity futures dipped as traders reacted to Donald Trump's cabinet appointments and anticipated key economic data, including inflation and GDP updates. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.1% and 0.3%, respectively, while Treasuries saw a decline in yields. Amidst a polarized global stock market, the dollar index dropped, and European stocks lagged significantly behind US gains.
U.S. stock futures showed little movement as traders await the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, with Dow futures up 20 points and S&P 500 futures slightly higher, while Nasdaq-100 futures dipped. Dell Technologies fell 10% after a disappointing revenue forecast, and HP and Workday also reported weaker-than-expected earnings guidance, causing their stocks to slide. Key inflation data, including the personal consumption expenditures price index, personal income, and consumer spending, will be released on Wednesday, influencing the Fed's upcoming rate policy decisions.
HP Inc. has issued a profit outlook for the fiscal first quarter that falls short of analyst expectations, projecting earnings of 70 to 76 cents per share, while analysts had anticipated 86 cents. For the fiscal year, the company expects profits between $3.45 and $3.75 per share, below the average estimate of $3.60. This indicates ongoing challenges in the recovery of the personal computer market.
