Warren Buffett published his annual letter to shareholders on Saturday, offering a glimpse into Berkshire Hathaway's investment into Coca-Cola and American Express.
Buffett said, "Berkshire’s purchases of Amex were essentially completed in 1995 and, coincidentally, also cost $1.3 billion. Annual dividends received from this investment have grown from $41 million to $302 million. Those checks, too, seem highly likely to increase."
"These dividend gains, though pleasing, are far from spectacular. But they bring with them important gains in stock prices," the billionaire continued. "At year-end, our Coke investment was valued at $25 billion while Amex was recorded at $22 billion. Each holding now accounts for roughly 5% of Berkshire’s net worth, akin to its weighting long ago."
Philanthropist Warren Buffett is joined onstage by 24 other philanthropistsw and influential business people featured on the Forbes list of 100 Greatest Business Minds during the Forbes Media Centennial Celebration at Pier 60 on September 19, 2017, i"Assume, for a moment, I had made a similarly-sized investment mistake in the 1990s, one that flat-lined and simply retained its $1.3 billion value in 2022. ," Buffett wrote.
The billionaire summarized, "The lesson for investors: The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well."
