Barron&#39;s Latest Picks And Pans: Apple, Bitcoin, a Goldman Sachs ETF, Nike And More

Warren Buffett, one of the greatest investors of all time, has lived in the same Omaha, Nebraska, home since 1958. That's 67 years in one house. Purchased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41095962/billionaire-warren-buffett-still-lives-in-an-old-corner-house-he-purchased-for-32k-i-couldnt-imagine">for just $31,500</a>, the property has appreciated to an estimated $1.4 million, an impressive return of about 4,300%. But despite this, Buffett doesn't see homeownership as a guaranteed financial win. In fact, in <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2010ltr.pdf">his 2010 letter to shareholders</a>, he made it clear that a house can easily turn into a financial nightmare if buyers aren't careful.
"A house can be a nightmare if the buyer's eyes are bigger than his wallet and if a lender—often protected by a government guarantee—facilitates his fantasy. Our country's social goal should not be to put families into the house of their dreams but rather to put them into a house they can afford," Buffett wrote in 2010, at a time when homes were still relatively affordable following the Great Recession.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a></li>
<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $100.</a></li>
</ul>
Fast forward to 2025, and housing prices are astronomically higher, with interest rates hovering around 7% or more. The cost of buying a home has never been more daunting, yet Buffett's warning from over a decade ago still holds: if you stretch beyond your means, homeownership can be a financial disaster.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett Could Have Made More Renting—And He Knows It</h2>
Buffett has never claimed his home was his smartest investment. In fact, he has openly admitted he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/06/39333401/warren-buffett-paid-31-500-for-1921-home-despite-the-seller-asking-52-500-its-worth-1-4-million-but">would have made far more money renting</a> and putting that cash into stocks instead. "For the $31,500 I paid for our house, my family and I gained 52 years of terrific memories with more to come," he said in 2010. But financially speaking? He could have done better.
That's a statement you don't hear often, especially in a world where buying a home is viewed as the ultimate "good investment." But Buffett's take is clear: a home is not always the best place to park your money. It provides stability, shelter, and memories, but when it comes to pure wealth-building, stocks historically outperform real estate.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buffett's Take on Mortgages: The "Best Instrument in the World"</h2>
While Buffett remains cautious about overspending on a home, he is a big believer in 30-year fixed mortgages—calling them one of the best financial tools available to homeowners.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2012/02/27/cnbc-transcript-part-1-warren-buffett-on-buying-houses-and-the-next-berkshire-ceo.html">CNBC's "Squawk Box</a>" in 2012, Buffett stated: "If you take out a 30-year fixed mortgage and it turns out the interest is too high, next week you can refinance lower. If it turns out it's too low, the other guy is stuck with it for 30 years."
In another appearance on "<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2012/02/27/warren-buffett-on-cnbc-id-buy-up-a-couple-hundred-thousand-singlefamily-homes-if-i-could.html">Squawk Box</a>" in 2012, he said he'd buy up a "couple thousand" single-family homes if it were practical to do so.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/06/heres-why-warren-buffett-thinks-you-should-buy-a-home.html">He told CNBC in 2017</a>, "If you know you're going to live in a given area, or think it's very likely, for a considerable period of time and you've got a family, the home is terrific." He also added: "A [30-year mortgage] is an incredibly attractive instrument for homeowners, and you've got a one-way bet."

Buffett has long emphasized the flexibility of a fixed-rate mortgage, calling it a "one-way negotiation" that benefits the homeowner. His reasoning? If rates drop, you refinance. If rates go up, you keep your low rate. It's a win-win.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Big Takeaway: Buy Smart, Stay Frugal, and Don't Get Trapped</h2>
Buffett's Omaha home is proof that frugality pays off, but his larger point isn't about staying in one house forever—it's about buying responsibly. He's seen too many people overextend on a mortgage, chase their dream home, and end up struggling financially.
Even in today's high-cost housing market, Buffett's advice is simple: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gbr-savings-by-age">buy only what you can comfortably afford</a>, take advantage of a fixed-rate mortgage, and don't assume homeownership is always the smartest financial move.
After all, if the world's greatest investor says he could have made more money renting, maybe the real "dream home" is financial security, not a bigger mortgage.

Marvell Technology, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) stock has surged about 350% in the last five years as the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence frenzy</a> has triggered demand for hardware and infrastructure.
The company supplies data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, spanning the data center core to the network edge. It is a fabless semiconductor supplier of high-performance standard and semi-custom products with core strengths in developing and scaling complex System-on-a-Chip architectures, integrating analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing functionality.

Its solutions empower the data economy and enable the data center, enterprise networking, carrier infrastructure, consumer, and automotive/industrial end markets.
Aswath Damodaran of the Stern School of Business at New York University flagged how computer chips have become part of every consumer good in the last four decades, from <a target="_blank" href="https://aswathdamodaran.substack.com/p/ais-winners-losers-and-wannabes-valuing" rel="noreferrer noopener">appliances to automobiles</a>.
He noted that semiconductor chip customers have also shifted from personal computers to smartphones, with demand emerging from automobile, crypto, and gaming companies in the last decade.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) became the first <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/19/10/14589580/apple-microsoft-battle-for-position-as-worlds-most-valuable-company-by-market-cap" rel="noreferrer noopener">trillion-dollar company</a> in 2018 as its iPhones gained traction. It is currently worth over $3.4 trillion. Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) hit the trillion-dollar market cap in 2024 and is currently worth ~ $ $3.2 trillion, backed by its AI processors.
Damodaran also said that data processing has emerged as a demand driver. He highlighted the potential upside of the automobile business, backed by automated driving and other enhancements.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) also reached a trillion-dollar valuation, supported by Elon Musk&#8217;s EVs and autonomous driving technology.
Reportedly, a third of the ten global companies worth <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42762874/broadcom-thrives-with-114-stock-surge-in-ai-boom-while-intel-faces-steep-decline" rel="noreferrer noopener">over $1 trillion</a> came from the chip industry, as 2024 proved immensely beneficial for the U.S. semiconductor sector.
For Marvell, China accounted for 42%- 44% of its revenue between fiscal <a target="_blank" href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=101533&amp;ref=318157157&amp;type=HTML&amp;symbol=MRVL&amp;cdn=36dc57774e0f888a3d7612adedcf3e12&amp;companyName=Marvell+Technology+Inc.&amp;formType=10-K&amp;dateFiled=2024-03-13" rel="noreferrer noopener">2022 and 2024</a>, while the U.S. generated 11%- 14%.
The company reported a 7% decline in fiscal 2024 revenue after a 33% growth in fiscal 2023 due to a decrease in sales in the majority of its end markets, including data center, enterprise networking, consumer, and carrier infrastructure, partially offset by growth in the automotive/industrial end market.
The decline coincides with the slowdown in Chinese demand, which impacted the company&#8217;s gross margin, which remained at 42% in fiscal 2024 versus 50% in 2023.
Semiconductor companies have adopted organic growth strategies (e.g., investing in research and development, product innovation, and operational efficiency improvements) or inorganic growth strategies (via acquisitions, mergers, or strategic partnerships) to expand their market share.
R&amp;D consumed 32%- 34% of Marvell&#8217;s revenue between fiscal 2022 and 2024, compared to bigger rival Broadcom Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) 15%- 18%. In absolute terms, Broadcom&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.broadcom.com/financial-information/annual-reports" rel="noreferrer noopener">R&amp;D stood at</a> $9.3 billion in fiscal 2024 on revenue of $51.6 billion versus Marvell&#8217;s R&amp;D at $1.9 billion on revenue of $5.5 billion.
In relative terms, Marvell&#8217;s R&amp;D margin is comparable to that of British chip designer Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>). Arm&#8217;s fiscal 2024 <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.arm.com/financials/sec-filings" rel="noreferrer noopener">R&amp;D margin stood</a> at 61% on revenue of $3.23 billion. Still, Marvell posted a gross margin of above 40%, which is testimony to its pricing power or moat.
Marvell stock surged over 57% in the last 12 months, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/sp-global-semiconductor-index/#overview" rel="noreferrer noopener">topping</a> S&amp;P Global Semiconductor Index&#8217;s 11%. Marvell commands an EV/EBITDA multiple of 262.5x versus Arm&#8217;s 283.1x and Broadcom&#8217;s 47.9x.
Marvell&#8217;s dividend yield is 0.20%, compared to 1.00% for Broadcom or 0.5% for Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
Marvell&#8217;s inorganic growth strategies include mergers and acquisitions. On October 5, 2021, Marvell completed the acquisition of Innovium, Inc., a provider of networking solutions for cloud and edge data centers, for $1.0 billion. On April 20, 2021, Marvell completed the acquisition of Inphi, a provider of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/20/10/18135863/marvell-confirms-merger-with-chipmaker-inphi-to-create-40b-entity" rel="noreferrer noopener">high-speed data movement</a> enabled by optical interconnects, for $9.9 billion.&nbsp;
Marvell&#8217;s operating cash flow, net of capital expenditures, helped it generate $1.02 billion in free cash flow as of February 3, 2024, compared to $1.07 billion in 2023 and $632 million in 2022.
Excess cash flows above capex help a company pay dividends and/or buyback shares, thereby adding to shareholder value. A company may also use the surplus funds for acquisitions and debt repayment to fuel growth.
Marvell&#8217;s positive AI catalysts for 2025: OpenAI,&nbsp;SoftBank Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), and&nbsp;Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) launched a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43127416/anthropic-gains-big-with-google-backing-aiming-for-60-billion-valuation-and-surging-ai-revenue" rel="noreferrer noopener">$500 billion joint venture</a>, Stargate, to build AI infrastructure in the U.S.
Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) committed $80 billion for AI-driven data centers. Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&nbsp;earmarked over $1 billion for its OpenAI rival Anthropic.
BofA Securities Vivek Arya <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43570410/broadcoms-trillion-dollar-run-analyst-expects-asic-to-take-10-15-market-share-backed-by-ai-compute-demand" rel="noreferrer noopener">expressed optimism over</a> AI infrastructure providers like Marvell, which are backed by AI compute/networking demand. He expects Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) vendors like Marvell and Broadcom (which hit the trillion dollars market cap in 2024) to bag over a 10%-15% share of the overall accelerator market as Nvidia GPUs dominate with their 80%+ share.
JPMorgan&#8217;s&nbsp;Harlan Sur noted that Marvell is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/42859614/jpmorgan-sees-marvells-ai-revenue-surge-with-2-billion-run-rate-in-networking-by-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">well-positioned to</a> significantly exceed its previous AI target of $2.5 billion in calendar 2025. This is backed by AI optical/copper networking products and two AI ASIC programs for&nbsp;Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Amazon Web Services, and&nbsp;Google.
Marvell is a holding in 200 US-traded&nbsp;ETFs. Investors can gain exposure to the stock through Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTI#NYSE">VTI</a>)

Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) has a history of beating analyst estimates in recent quarters and looks to keep the streak alive with its fourth-quarter financial results before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">the market opens Tuesday</a>.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Coca-Cola to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of 52 cents. That&#8217;s up from 49 cents in last year's fourth quarter, according to data<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent021025&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in three straight quarters and eight of the last 10 quarters overall. The other two quarters the company didn't beat estimates, the results were in-line with analysts.
Analysts expect Coca-Cola to report fourth-quarter revenue of $10.68 billion, down from $10.85 billion in last year's fourth quarter.
The Atlanta-based company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in 15 straight quarters, according to Benzinga Pro data.

What Analysts Are Saying: Piper Sandler analyst Michael Lavery said Coca-Cola has attractive and sustainable growth drivers. In an investor note last month, he highlighted the North America and Latin America regions for seeing strong growth that can be sustainable over the long term.
Lavery initiated coverage on the stock with an Overweight rating and a $74 price target, which was later revised down to $73 later in January.
The analyst said the North America and Latin America regions still have a large percentage of their populations that do not drink commercial beverages, offering an expansion opportunity.
Rising incomes in emerging markets along with population growth could be long-term drivers for "sustainable volume and pricing gains," Lavery said.
Here are other recent<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KO/analyst-ratings"> analyst ratings on Coca-Cola</a> and their price targets.
<ul>
<li>RBC Capital: Reiterated Outperform rating, raised price target from $68 to $69</li>
<li>Jefferies: Upgraded from Hold to Buy, raised price target from $69 to $75</li>

While Pepsi competes in both the beverage and food markets, the company's North American PepsiCo division is most comparable with the beverage unit of Coca-Cola in North America. This segment saw flat revenue in the quarter for Pepsi.
Coca-Cola's report could include a look at inflation, consumer spending habits and more on how higher prices for several grocery items are impacting spending on beverages.
The beverage giant is a key market indicator as a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, although the company's lower share price makes the stock the 28th largest weighting of 30 stocks.

Berkshire Hathaway owns 400 million Coca-Cola shares. The stock is one of the largest holdings of the legendary investor's conglomerate.
Investors and analysts, and maybe Buffett, will be interested to hear if Coca-Cola provides an update on 2025 guidance. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41486650/coca-cola-q3-earnings-eps-beat-pricing-growth-offset-by-volume-decline-sees-10-q4-organic-revenue-g">The company expects</a> adjusted net revenue and earnings per share to have a low single-digit and mid-single-digit currency headwind, respectively.
