Buffett's acquisition of OxyChem is a model for how to invest when the market as a whole is expensive. The core of his approach is to buy absolute value and ignore market opinions.

Berkshire Hathaway Should Acquire All Of Kraft Heinz (Rating Upgrade)
BRK-A, BRK-B, KHC
Published: October 07, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Kraft Heinz is deeply undervalued, with slowly improving fundamentals and a compelling free cash flow yield, making it a top defensive food selection. Despite management's plan to split KHC, I strongly prefer keeping the company intact, as debt reduction is progressing and the valuation will likely recover over time. A Berkshire Hathaway takeover of Kraft Heinz would be highly accretive to income and free cash flow vs. sitting in short-term investments returning 4% annually.
