On March 19, Bloomberg reported that Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is seeking to spend $5 billion to $20 billion on an acquisition. He prefers “simple” businesses with pretax profit exceeding $75 million, “consistent earnings power,” “good” returns on equity and little or no debt. Bloomberg went on and stated that there are 50 U.S. companies with that much market value and profit, a return on equity exceeding 10 percent and a debt-to- equity ratio less than 50 percent, according to Bloomberg’s own data.
It is hard to imagine that Berkshire Hathaway will acquire another Oil and Gas company after Warren Buffett openly admitted that his purchase of ConocoPhillips (COP) was a mistake. Each company has to stand on its own investment merit regardless what Warren Buffett may or may not make a move on it.
