Berkshire Hathaway surprises with Alphabet stake as it tilts toward tech; Apple and Bank of America trims persist

November 16, 2025, 2:28 AM EST. Berkshire Hathaway's Q3 13F revealed a surprise stake in Alphabet, about $4.9 billion for roughly 17.8 million shares, the quarter's largest dollar addition and lifting Alphabet after hours. Buffett historically avoided tech, but with Greg Abel taking on more duties, this tilt could reflect a new direction or inputs from Ted Weschler and Todd Combs. Berkshire trimmed Apple by ~15% to about 238 million shares (now worth $64.9 billion, ~21% of the portfolio) and cut Bank of America by ~6% to around 568 million shares ($29.9 billion). The action underscores ongoing shifts as Berkshire's complete Q3 13F list arrives for review.

Institutional shares fell 2.73% to 73,518K. Among notable shareholders, Invesco International Growth Fund holds 15,022K shares (3.74%), down from 15,257K; SMCWX 10,511K (2.62%), down from 11,780K; ARTJX 7,501K (1.87%), down from 8,076K; VGTSX 6,032K (1.50%), down from 6,443K; BBIEX 4,812K (1.20%), unchanged. Overall, the posture suggests muted momentum from large external holders despite the neutrality stance.

Novo Nordisk Valuation Under Scrutiny After Recent Share Decline (NYSE:NVO)

November 16, 2025, 2:24 AM EST. Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) has fallen about 11% in the last month, with a year-to-date drop near 45% and a trailing 12-month total return of about -51.6%. The stock now trades well below analyst targets, fueling debate over whether it is undervalued or fully priced into long-term risks. A widely cited narrative pegs a fair value around $120.72 versus a recent close near $48, suggesting a sizable disconnect between today's price and pipeline potential. However, critics warn that the market may be discounting near-term headwinds in GLP-1 dynamics and broader US market conditions. The analysis emphasizes the pipeline beyond Wegovy and a SOTP approach, while noting that future launches and margin strength are pivotal. Investors may want to run their own scenarios on Ozempic/Wegovy, oral GLP-1, and NASH bets.

November 16, 2025, 2:10 AM EST. Deutsche has reiterated a Buy rating on Burberry Group (BBRYF), signaling a 32.8% upside to the consensus target of about $17.50 over the next year. As of Oct 29, 2025, the target range spans $9.07-$22.18, up ~32.8% from Burberry's $13.18 close. The report notes 163 funds hold BBRYF, with a combined stake of ~52.69 million shares and an average portfolio weight around 0.32%. Key holders include VGTSX, MGRAX, WEUSX, VTMGX, and HILAX, with several funds increasing allocations in the last quarter. Burberry's projected annual revenue is $3,522 million with non-GAAP EPS of $1.35, suggesting solid upside for investors tracking fund sentiment and institutional ownership.

Trump's affordability pledge tests markets as cost of living dominates voters' concerns

November 16, 2025, 1:46 AM EST. President Trump has pivoted from touting an all-time strong stock market to acknowledging a stubborn drag on household budgets as voters tighten the grip on the cost of living. With polls showing affordability as a top concern, the administration is framing a renewed push to keep prices down while touting policy bets that supporters hope will anchor growth. The administration points to a booming stock market, tariff moves, and corporate commitments as evidence of a favorable backdrop, even as inflation cools at a moderated pace around 3%. Critics warn that political headwinds could complicate economic policy and investor sentiment if affordability remains at the center of debate and policy. Trump's insistence that the economy is "the greatest" clashes with voters' lived experience, highlighting a gap between market performance and household realities.

Did Stocks Stage a 'Mini Panic'-Or Something Worse? What Experts Are Saying About AI Stocks

November 16, 2025, 1:44 AM EST. Tech stocks have been pressured as concerns about an AI bubble emerge after a strong rally off April lows. The Nasdaq has jumped roughly 60% from April to October, driven by the AI trade across tech, utilities and industrials. Some investors worry about the size and payoff of that spend, while others remain constructive on AI's longer-term gains, aided by the Fed rate cuts and expected efficiency improvements. The debate matters because AI optimism has powered much of the market's gains this year. Reactions: Dan Ives calls the pullback a short-lived mini panic and expects Nvidia's upcoming earnings to act as a positive catalyst into year-end; Jamie Cox says a 1990s-style bubble isn't here yet and sees opportunities to buy quality tech on weakness; market watchers foresee volatility but potential upside as earnings drive tests ahead.

Nvidia, Tesla dragged as tech selloff deepens

November 16, 2025, 1:42 AM EST. Stocks kicked off Friday with Nvidia down about 3% and Tesla around 4% as a tech selloff extended into week's end. The Dow slipped below 48,000 while the Nasdaq led losses, with AMD and Micron also lower. Traders weighed the risk that the Fed may pause rate cuts amid data gaps after the government shutdown, and worries over inflated AI valuations. Odds of a December cut hovered near 54%, per CME FedWatch, but uncertainty persists as a patchwork of indicators returns. The market faces a volatile data-pipeline, a frayed labor picture, and questions about whether AI-driven gains can be sustained, even as Washington's reopening offers little clarity.

Santiment Warns Market Bottom Won't Come While Everyone Expects It

November 16, 2025, 1:40 AM EST. Industry sentiment platform Santiment warns that a widely shared view of an imminent bottom often precedes further declines. Traders should not confuse optimism with reality: true bottoms tend to form when the majority expect prices to fall. The latest signals show Bitcoin chatter turning increasingly fearful, with social dominance rising above 40% and positive sentiment at a one-month low. In contrast, $1.17B in recent ETF outflows – a level linked historically with market bottoms – suggests caution rather than a buy signal. While Bitcoin briefly slipped below $95,000, the note emphasizes that extreme consensus about a floor can be a contrarian warning. Bottom-calling often spikes as BTC trades under $100,000.

SES:CA Stock Analysis: Buy Level 17.37 with Stop 17.28 | AI Signals and Rating Outlook

IBM AI Investment Surge Boosts Stock, Market Reaction

November 16, 2025, 1:22 AM EST. IBM is accelerating its AI investments, fueling investor optimism as the stock trades near $305.69 with a day range of $297.59-$307.72. The trajectory shows a year-to-date gain over 40% amid a mixed outlook and a target range from $170 to $305. The company's strategic use of IBM Watson AI across sectors, including a notable collaboration for UFC broadcasts, underscores IBM's push to deploy AI in real-time insights and partnerships. Analysts show a Hold consensus, with near-term sentiment tempered by the potential for AI-driven growth to lift future revenue and shareholder value. Looking ahead, IBM's January 2026 earnings could amplify the impact of its AI initiatives on the stock's long-term outlook.

Imunon Faces Market Volatility Tied to Short Selling and Price Risks

November 16, 2025, 1:20 AM EST. Imunon, Inc. (IMNN) faces notable exposure to short selling and other market dynamics that could drive temporary or long-term declines in its stock price. Analysts note that such activity can create negative momentum, prompting further short sales and pressuring the market price of IMNN. The company cannot predict how upcoming stock issuances or sales will affect demand or shorting activity, leaving the stock vulnerable to surprises in supply. Large-volume sales or even the perception of potential sales could materially and adversely affect IMNN's value. By contrast, consensus suggests a price target of about $12.00, implying roughly 184% upside from recent levels, though that target comes with risk given the volatility. Investors should monitor ongoing short selling activity and any new disclosures.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (WH): Is the pullback signaling an undervalued opportunity?

November 16, 2025, 1:04 AM EST. WH stock has fallen ~18% in 3 months and ~24.2% over 1 year, though five-year holders still up. The stock trades near $72, with a narrative pointing to a fair value of $105.80, suggesting the name could be undervalued. The business model relies on franchise revenue rather than owning real estate, supporting strong cash reserves and the capacity for buybacks, dividends, or strategic moves (e.g., the La Quinta deal). Yet upside may be limited by higher debt and slower global expansion. The bull case rests on a growth pipeline, rising loyalty membership, and improving profitability margins, while risks include debt and execution delays. For investors seeking upside and insider interest, Wyndham offers a compelling but not risk-free setup.

Best Buy (BBY) Valuation: Undervalued After Recent Decline

November 16, 2025, 12:32 AM EST. Best Buy (BBY) has pulled back recently, with a 1-month return around -5% and a YTD retreat, even as profitability improves. Our latest analysis points to an undervalued setup versus a fair value of about $81.38 at an 8.8% discount rate, with the latest close near $75.72. A price target gap suggests upside potential, supported by investments in supply chain automation, data-driven fulfillment, and omnichannel initiatives that should lower costs and lift earnings over time. However, risks include persistent cost inflation and stronger online competition. The stock trades at ~20.4x forward earnings, above the industry but below peers, indicating a balanced mix of growth potential and risk. Overall, BBY presents a value narrative worth closer inspection for long-term investors.

Element Solutions (ESI) Valuation: Is the Market Missing Future Upside?

November 16, 2025, 12:20 AM EST. Element Solutions (ESI) could be undervalued as the market prices in less of its future growth. Despite some short-term weakness, three-year returns sit at a robust +41%, underpinned by demand for advanced electronics materials driven by data centers and high-performance computing. The stock trades at a discount to analyst targets and looks set for potential earnings expansion, according to the latest narrative, with a fair value around $32.10. But risks remain: ESI's business is exposed to cyclical tech and auto markets, and rising competition could cap upside. On a P/E basis, the multiple is 26.2x vs a 22x fair benchmark, suggesting some growth is already priced in or could prove elusive.

Generac Holdings (GNRC) Valuation After Recent Decline: Is GNRC Undervalued?

November 16, 2025, 12:04 AM EST. Generac Holdings (GNRC) has fallen about 21% over the last month as investors weigh growth potential vs. recent performance. The stock now trades well below some targets, with a fair value estimate of $209.59 versus a last close near $151.21, suggesting an undervalued entry for patient buyers. The case hinges on accelerating demand for backup power in data centers driven by AI and global digitalization, supported by a backlog of over $150 million that could fuel revenue growth and operating leverage into the next few years. Yet a softer home standby market and exposure to outage volatility pose risks that could alter the narrative. If growth assumptions materialize, GNRC could realize meaningful upside beyond the current price.

BofA Maintains Buy Rating on NVIDIA (NVDA) with $275 Target

November 16, 2025, 12:02 AM EST. Bank of America (BofA) maintains a Buy rating on NVIDIA (NVDA) with a price objective of $275. The analyst, Vivek Arya, notes investors remain wary of a potential slowdown in AI spending, a caution that paradoxically helps keep gains steady rather than runaway. Recent weakness in AI chip names reflects broader market issues, but the underlying AI story remains intact. NVIDIA's main growth engines-AI data centers, networking, and accelerated computing-are on track, supported by a robust order book. While near-term headwinds include uneven gaming sales or delays in new data-center projects, the company's long-term outlook and dominant market position suggest it remains one of the most compelling ways to participate in the AI revolution.
