Billionaire Warren Buffett just poured more than half a billion dollars into three assets.
After dumping huge positions in Apple and Bank of America and hoarding $325 billion in cash, new SEC filings show the Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO has bought $405 million of Occidental Petroleum (OXY).
Occidental Petroleum is a global energy company involved in oil and gas exploration and production, with further ventures in chemicals and low-carbon initiatives.
OXY is down 21% since the start of the 2024, dropping from $60.05 to $47.13 at time of publishing.
Meanwhile, Buffett has also purchased $113 million in Sirius XM Holdings (SIRI) and $45 million in VeriSign (VRSN).
Sirius XM offers satellite and streaming radio services across North America, with its stock down 57% since the start of 2024, from $54.90 to $23.08.
VeriSign is a global provider of domain name registry services and internet security solutions, with shares down 1.35% year-to-date, from $201.56 to $198.84.
Buffett completed purchases of the three companies last week and was required to report the buys immediately because Berkshire now owns more than 10% of each company.
