Warren Buffett, renowned for his investment acumen, made history in 2024 by not repurchasing any shares of Berkshire Hathaway for the first time since buyback rules were amended in 2018, despite holding a record $325.2 billion in cash. This decision reflects concerns over high valuations, as the company's price-to-book value exceeded 170%, and the Buffett Indicator reached an all-time high of 209%. While Buffett's recent selling activity suggests caution, his long-term optimism for the U.S. economy and stock market remains steadfast.

UBS has upgraded XP Inc.'s stock rating from Neutral to Buy, while lowering the price target to $16 from $19, citing the company's valuation as reflecting Brazil's tough macroeconomic conditions.

The company is also navigating challenges from potential negative reports and increasing lawsuits, while initiating a share repurchase program worth R$1.0 billion to bolster investor confidence.
