Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, has done it again, proving why he’s the undisputed king of investing. His Berkshire Hathaway recently made headlines with significant investments in two unexpected yet genius picks: Domino’s Pizza and Pool Corp. Yes, America’s favorite pizza chain and the nation’s top pool supply company are now Buffett-approved, and the markets are taking notice.
According to a filing with the SEC, Berkshire snagged 1.28 million shares of Domino’s, worth a cool $550 million by the end of the third quarter. Not stopping there, Buffett’s team also picked up over 400,000 shares of Pool Corp., the largest U.S. distributor of swimming pool equipment and supplies. Predictably, both stocks surged on the news, as investors once again followed the master’s lead.
Domino’s has long been the pizza titan of America, thanks to its streamlined delivery model and iconic branding. While the company’s third-quarter revenue fell short of expectations, its profitability exceeded Wall Street’s forecasts, demonstrating resilience in a challenging market. Analysts like those at Loop Capital are bullish, upgrading the stock amid signs of accelerating same-store sales. Clearly, Buffett knows a winner when he sees one.
Pool Corp., while less flashy, is just as strategic. With a dominant market share in a niche industry, it continues to rake in revenue through high-demand maintenance products. Even as new pool construction dips, Pool Corp. has carved out a reliable stream of income from pool owners nationwide. Oppenheimer recently raised its price target for the company, a move Buffett likely anticipated before anyone else.
Buffett’s investment philosophy is no secret: he loves companies with solid fundamentals, lasting appeal, and strong market positions. “A strong brand is potent stuff,” Buffett has said, and Domino’s and Pool Corp. embody that principle perfectly. Bill Gates summed it up best: “He doesn’t invest… unless the opportunity appears unbelievably good.”
Warren Buffett isn’t just investing in pizza and pools—he’s showcasing why capitalism works. The Oracle of Omaha sees opportunities where others see pizza boxes and chlorine tablets. While Democrats obsess over taxing the rich and redistributing wealth, Buffett is busy building it the right way: through smart, strategic investments in businesses that create jobs and value. That’s the kind of leadership America needs more of.
