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.

Occidental Petroleum: Berkshire's Deal For OxyChem Is A Win-Win
BRK-A, BRK-B, OXY
Published: October 02, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Occidental Petroleum benefits from Berkshire Hathaway's $9.7B OxyChem deal, enabling significant debt reduction and a sharper oil and gas focus. OXY will use proceeds to repay $6.5B in long-term debt, lowering interest expenses and achieving its sub-$15B debt target to accelerate shareholder returns. Despite weaker oil prices, OXY maintains stable quarterly financials, and a leaner balance sheet positions the company for upside if energy prices rebound.
