This article covers Top 5 Stock Picks By Eagle Capital as shared by Insider Monkey in one of their Yahoo posts. The information gathered in this article will be interesting for our readers.
One of the best picks of Eagle Capital is Berkshire Hathaway Inc. According to Nomadic Value: “We added to Berkshire Hathaway. I won’t spend too much talking about this, but BRK is as attractively priced as it’s been in some time. The press’s and FinTwit’s fascination with “Warren’s lost it” is at a cyclical peak and is complete noise. However, the valid bear argument is that BRK is too big to compound at good rates going forward, and subsidiary company performance will be weak for the next couple of years with its high exposure to air traffic (Precision CastParts and previously held airline stocks) and holdings in “old economy” manufacturing and retail businesses.” Another stock pick by Eagle Capital is Comcast Corporation. This is the third largest stock in the portfolio of Eagle Capital. The hedge fund invested in this stock during the fourth quarter of the year 2015. Comcast Corporation is the recipient of four Emmy Awards for advertising, delivery, innovation and technological development from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
