Here Are 3 American Companies on Warren Buffett’s Balance Sheet. Are They a Buy?

It’s a tough time to be excited about investing in U.S. companies. They’re not just caught in the crossfire of a tariff war that will make it more expensive to do international business. These same tariffs will almost certainly inflate consumer prices. Neither is good for the domestic or the global economy.The fact that Warren Buffett — arguably the best-known icon of American capitalism — remains a big fan of this country and the opportunities it still offers, however, speaks volumes.

These costs were passed on to customers, resulting in high fees for relatively simple services.Continue readinghttps://www.fool.com/investing/2025/05/20/should-you-buy-nu-holdings-stock-while-its-below-1/
