FYI: Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett is famous for having a good eye for value. These days, he has been looking hard at big U.S. banks.
Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A) bought more than $13 billion of bank stocks in the third quarter, highlighted by a new, $4 billion holding in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and an almost $6 billion purchase of Bank of America (BAC), the first major open-market buy by Berkshire.
Buffett’s company now holds stakes in seven of the country’s top 10 banks: Wells Fargo (WFC), U.S. Bancorp (USB), Goldman Sachs Group (GS), PNC Financial Services Group (PNC), and Bank of New York Mellon (BK), as well as JPMorgan and Bank of America. ( Citigroup (C), Morgan Stanley (MS), and Capital One Financial (COF) are the ones left out.)
