Warren Buffett, often dubbed the “Oracle of Omaha,” has spent decades building Berkshire Hathaway into one of the most closely watched investment firms in the world.

WARREN BUFFETT'S $3.9 BILLION BUYING SPREE: THE TOP THREE STOCKS BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY IS BETTING ON

When Buffett makes a move, Wall Street listens. His latest round of buying—nearly $3.9 billion in stock purchases—has put fresh attention on three companies that Buffett and his team believe are positioned for long-term growth. The spree underscores Buffett's disciplined philosophy of buying quality businesses at the right price, even in turbulent markets.

BUFFETT’S STRATEGY IN CONTEXT

Buffett has long resisted the temptation of chasing fads or overpaying for hot growth names. His style favors companies with durable competitive advantages, consistent cash flows, and management teams he trusts. Over the last two years, as markets have seesawed between inflation concerns, rising interest rates, and an Al-fueled tech rally, Buffett has been both cautious and opportunistic—piling up record amounts of cash at Berkshire while deploying capital selectively when value appears.

The most recent $3.9 billion round of purchases highlights his continued preference for financial strength, pricing power, and global scale.

While some analysts were expecting more aggressive bets in technology, Buffett's top three buys include a mix of defensive plays and cyclical opportunities.

image1. OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM: ENERGY STILL MATTERS

Buffett's largest move in recent quarters has been his aggressive accumulation of shares in Occidental Petroleum (OXY). With this latest spree, Berkshire’s stake is approaching 28%, sparking speculation that a full acquisition could eventually be on the table.

SPACEX'S STARSHIP DEPLOYS FIRST MOCK STARLINK SATELLITES ON 10TH TEST FLIGHT, MARKING A MAJOR PROGRAM MILESTONE

The flight, launched from the company’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, was closely watched by both industry insiders and regulators, as Starship is central not only to SpaceX’s long-term commercial plans but also to NASA's Artemis program, which is counting on the vehicle to land astronauts on the Moon later this decade. A NEW MILESTONE IN STARSHIP DEVELOPMENT Starship has steadily improved since its fiery early flights in 2023, with each launch designed to test different components of the system. The 10th mission marked the first demonstration of Starship’s ability to carry and release payloads into orbit, simulating what a future operational mission would look like when deploying hundreds of Starlink satellites in a single launch. SpaceX confirmed that the payload bay doors opened successfully in orbit and that a set of mock Starlink units—essentially mass simulators designed to mimic the size and weight of the satellites—were released smoothly. The test verified mechanical systems critical for future missions and provided valuable telemetry on how the rocket performs when transitioning from ascent to payload deployment. WHY STARSHIP MATTERS TO STARLINK Starlink, SpaceX's global satellite broadband service, currently relies on Falcon 9 rockets to place satellites into low-Earth orbit. But Falcon 9 can only carry about 60 Starlink units at a time, requiring a steady cadence of launches to maintain and expand the network. Starship, by contrast, is designed to deploy hundreds of satellites per flight, massively scaling the constellation at lower cost per unit. With over 6,000 Starlink satellites already in orbit, the service has become a critical revenue driver for SpaceX. The shift to Starship could accelerate global coverage, improve bandwidth, and make the business model more sustainable. “Starship is essential for Starlink’s long-term economics,” said one industry analyst. “It turns what is currently a heavy logistical effort into something far more efficient.” TECHNICAL PROGRESS AND REMAINING HURDLES In addition to payload deployment, the 10th test flight gathered data on booster recovery maneuvers and heat shield performance during reentry. While full reusability remains SpaceX’s ultimate goal, the company is still refining the ability to recover both the Super Heavy booster and Starship upper stage intact. The flight built on the successes of the ninth mission, when both stages demonstrated controlled flight for the longest durations yet. With each incremental improvement, SpaceX inches closer to its vision of rapid-turnaround reusable rockets, similar to commercial airliners. BROADER IMPLICATIONS: FROM MOON TO MARS NASA has contracted SpaceX to develop a lunar version of Starship as part of the Artemis program, which aims to return astronauts to the Moon in 2026. Demonstrating payload deployment capability strengthens SpaceX's case that Starship can support complex missions beyond Earth orbit, including delivering cargo modules, lunar landers, and eventually human habitats. Elon Musk has also repeatedly emphasized Starship’s role in enabling Mars colonization, arguing that only a fully reusable, heavy-lift rocket can make interplanetary settlement economically feasible. Successful orbital payload operations mark a critical step toward proving Starship’s viability for such ambitions. ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY IMPACT The 10th test flight reinforces SpaceX’s dominance in the commercial space sector. Rivals such as Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance are developing heavy-lift rockets, but none have demonstrated the kind of rapid iteration SpaceX is applying to Starship. The potential to launch hundreds of satellites at once could reshape the economics of the broadband industry, raising competitive pressure on terrestrial internet providers and even on Amazon's Project Kuiper, which is also deploying a satellite constellation. LOOKING AHEAD With this milestone achieved, SpaceX is expected to attempt more ambitious missions in 2026, including tests of in-orbit refueling—a capability that will be essential for long-duration lunar and Mars missions. Future flights may also carry real Starlink payloads, paving the way for Starship to transition from experimental flights to operational workhorses. For now, the successful deployment of mock satellites confirms that Starship is no longer just a test vehicle—it is evolving into the spacecraft that SpaceX has long promised, one capable of reshaping satellite broadband, deep space exploration, and the future of commercial spaceflight.
