Warren Buffett is no longer the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, but the company just released its latest 13F filing detailing the last trades under his leadership. There were few trades and only one new position. Although Buffett maintained Berkshire's position in Alphabet, he pared down its positions in the other artificial intelligence (AI) stocks in the portfolio, Apple and Amazon. Apple is still the largest position in the portfolio at 19.5%, but that's a far cry from the 50% it had reached a few years ago. Amazon was always a small position, and now it's even smaller. Buffett added to a few other positions, including a relatively new stake in Domino's Pizza (DPZ 0.30%). Berkshire added 368,055 new shares worth $109 billion, a 12% increase from last quarter. Domino's is a stock that's right up Buffett's alley. But it took him years to buy it, and there may be another reason it's looking good right now. The leading global pizza shop chain Domino's is the largest pizza shop chain in the world, with 22,000 global stores. It's always opening new ones, too, including 392 net new stores in the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter (ended Dec. 28, 2025). Buffett loves an industry leader, especially in an area that will always have a place in the economy and that's resilient. It's the pizza version of an Apple or an American Express. That's what's playing out today. Despite stubborn inflation and changing technological trends, people all over the world continue to buy pizza. In the fourth quarter, global retail sales increased 4.9% year over year (currency neutral), and comparable sales were up 3.7%. Domino's is a franchise business, which means it makes money on franchise fees, not pizza. That's a high-margin business. Operating income outpaced sales growth in the fourth quarter, with company net revenue up 6.4% year over year and operating income up 8%.

Oil prices have risen further as the Middle East war extended into a fourth day, sending stock markets tumbling across the UK and Europe on fears of a prolonged conflict. Brent crude rose by another 4% on Tuesday to stand at a one-year high of nearly 81 US dollars a barrel, after Iran took action to block a crucial shipping route for crude tankers, while London's FTSE 100 Index fell sharply lower, down more than 2% in early trading. An Iranian official has reportedly warned tankers on the Strait of Hormuz that no ships would be allowed to pass through, as part of its response to a US and Israel military campaign against Iran, which has continued since an initial strike killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday. Oil had soared by as much as 13% at one stage on Monday, rising above 82 dollars a barrel, before paring back. In financial markets, the FTSE 100 tumbled 2.2% or 240.2 points to 10539.9, after a 1.2% drop on Monday, with similar declines across Europe as the Dax in Germany dropped 3% and France's Cac 40 was 1.8% lower on Tuesday. It comes after US President Donald Trump's warning that military operations against Iran could take \ Airline stocks continued to take a hammering because of flight disruption caused by the conflict, while banks were also lower on fears over a knock-on impact to the economy. Susannah Streeter, chief investment strategist at the Wealth Club, said: \ \ Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor, said the easing in the pace of the oil price rally suggests \ \ Iran's threats over the Strait of Hormuz has sparked fears that oil prices will continue rising sharply, with the route used by tankers carrying about one fifth of the world's oil supplies and seaborne gas.

(RTTNews) - European stocks were sharply lower on Tuesday and headed for their biggest two-day drop since April as escalating Middle East tensions spurred risk aversion in financial markets. A prolonged conflict in the Middle East and a persistent fall in oil and gas supplies from the region could cause a "substantial spike" in inflation and a "sharp drop in output" in the euro zone, ECB chief economist Philip Lane has warned in an interview with the Financial Times. European natural-gas prices surged more than 20 percent today following a production halt at the world's largest liquefied-natural-gas export facility in Qatar. The jump in oil and gas prices evokes memories of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, which triggered a global energy crunch and hit Europe particularly hard. U.S. President Trump said the conflict with Iran will likely last four to five weeks and that the U.S. has the "capability to go far longer than that", raising concerns about a significant widening of hostilities in the region. The pan European Stoxx 600 was down 2.3 percent at 609.62 after tumbling 1.6 percent on Monday. The German DAX plummeted 2.6 percent, France's CAC 40 gave up 1.9 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 was down 2.2 percent amid rapidly rising bond yields. Banks extended losses from the previous session, with Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas and Barclays plunging 4-5 percent. International Workplace shares were down 3 percent in London. The global leader in hybrid working reported broadly stable earnings for 2025 with marginal increase in revenue. Industrial engineering company Smiths Group dropped 1.4 percent after it has agreed to acquire DRC Heat Transfer (DRC) for a purchase price of £164m. Construction giant Kier Group dropped 2 percent despite reporting strong half-year results. Low-cost airline Wizz Air slumped 5 percent and Ryanair lost 2.2 percent as oil prices jumped above $80 a barrel on supply disruption fears. French aerospace and technology firm Thales...

Advanced Micro Devices’ stock has notably outperformed over the past year, but how does it truly measure up against peers scaling in the AI and data-center boom? A closer look reveals strong revenue growth and impressive market returns. Yet, its higher valuation and more moderate operating profitability compared to top rivals like NVIDIA may limit further upside, depending on sustained market share capture in the intense AI accelerator segment. AMD’s 10.7% operating margin, strong but below NVDA’s 60.4%, reflects its broader market exposure vs. NVDA’s AI dominance. AMD’s 34.3% revenue growth, outpacing INTC, AVGO, QCOM but below NVDA, MRVL, shows strength in diversified markets but less hyperscaler AI. AMD’s 98.9% past year gain, outperforming peers, reflects strong investor confidence despite a premium 74.5 PE valuation.
