Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) led by the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, is in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/ma/25/03/44317138/warren-buffetts-real-estate-brokerage-compass-discuss-deal-report">talks to sell</a> its real estate brokerage business to New York-based Compass Real Estate. While some experts view this as his levered bet against the U.S. home prices, others see it as a consolidation in the realty sector.
What Happened: Compass has offered to buy Berkshire&#8217;s realty business, HomeServices of America, including Real Living, for an undisclosed price, according to a WSJ <a href="https://www.wsj.com/real-estate/compass-in-talks-to-buy-warren-buffetts-real-estate-brokerage-unit-5eab82e5">report</a>. The Berkshire business has about 820 offices and 270 franchises, whereas Compass is the second-largest U.S. brokerage.
After these reports emerged, billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya took to X and said that &#8220;The world's best investor is selling his bet levered to US home prices.&#8221;
However, there wasn&#8217;t a consensus on the fact that a bet against a traditional brokerage is the same as betting against the U.S. home prices. According to Amy Nixon, a DFW housing and economic analyst, the possible sale of Berkshire&#8217;s realty business to Compass was &#8220;not necessarily a bet against US home prices,&#8221; because Buffett could be betting on the real estate technology to reshape the industry further.

Why It Matters: Despite a sale of its business having any correlation with a bet on U.S. home prices, as mentioned by Nixon. The impact of higher interest rates does affect the housing market. Higher interest rates strain both homebuyers, facing increased monthly payments, and sellers, experiencing reduced demand and lower offers.
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s primary monetary policy-making body, the Federal Open Market Committee, is scheduled to meet on March 18 and 19 this week to decide on the course of interest rates.
According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 99% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting. However, the probability of an ease increases from June 2025 onwards. 
Furthermore, the U.S. real estate sector is consolidating, as Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>) signed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/ma/25/03/44317138/warren-buffetts-real-estate-brokerage-compass-discuss-deal-report">acquisition deal</a> worth $1.75 billion last week with Redfin Corp.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk hinted at a possible timeline for human landings on Mars.
What Happened: On Saturday, Musk posted on X that SpaceX&#8217;s Starship is scheduled to depart for Mars by the end of 2026, carrying Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Optimus robot. He indicated that if the landings go well, human missions could start as early as 2029, although 2031 seems more probable.

The post comes in the wake of SpaceX&#8217;s 23rd anniversary,&nbsp;celebrated on March 14.&nbsp;The reference to Optimus is notable as it connects to Tesla&#8217;s humanoid robot development, initially revealed in 2021, designed for tasks both on Earth and in space. Musk anticipates their involvement in Mars exploration as early as 2026.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s post aligns with his long-term vision for human settlement on Mars, with potential missions beginning in 2029 or 2031, according to recent updates. In February, Musk also mentioned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/02/43840887/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-says-making-mars-self-sustaining-will-take-up-to-half-a-century-will-require-10-earth-mars-transfer-windows">making Mars self-sustaining</a> or capable of supporting human life will take somewhere between 25-50 years. 
In a Reuters report in November, sources familiar with U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s space policy agenda revealed to the publication that Elon Musk&#8217;s vision of human transportation to Mars is set to become a greater national priority under the President. &#8220;We want to reach Mars before the end of my term,&#8221; Trump said during his 2024 presidential campaign. He had even set up the Space Force and revived the National Space Council during his previous term.
George Nield, president of Commercial Space Technologies and a former FAA official had told AFP in November, &#8220;There&#8217;s a good chance we&#8217;ll see at least a re-look at the Artemis program—whether that means speeding it up or even skipping the moon to focus on Mars.&#8221;&nbsp;This could be a monumental change for a program estimated to cost over $90 billion.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investor Ross Gerber shared footage of protesters outside a Tesla store in Santa Monica, highlighting growing public backlash against the electric vehicle maker amid CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s political activities.
What Happened: &#8220;Guess the Tesla takeover was in Santa Monica today. My wife ran into this peaceful display of distaste for Elon Musk in front of the Tesla store,&#8221; Gerber wrote Sunday on X. The video concludes with the voice of his 9-year-old child saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad we don&#8217;t have a Tesla.&#8221;
Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, has grown increasingly critical of Tesla despite his long-standing investment in the company. In a recent interview, he stated <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44321998/why-ross-gerber-finds-tesla-stock-expensive-despite-its-50-plunge-fundamental-story-has-to-be-revalued">Tesla shares remain overvalued</a> even after plunging nearly 50% since mid-December.
&#8220;There&#8217;s this game that is happening now where the fundamental story has to be revalued,&#8221; Gerber said, noting Tesla&#8217;s forward price-to-earnings ratio of 65 remains more than triple the S&amp;P 500 average.

Why It Matters: The protests come amid escalating tensions surrounding Musk&#8217;s dual role as Tesla CEO and leader of the Department of Government Efficiency in President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration. Demonstrations have <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42028821/amazon-india-to-shift-headquarters-to-bengalurus-outskirts-to-cut-costs">occurred at Tesla showrooms</a> across the U.S., with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently calling for an FBI investigation into what she termed &#8220;organized attacks&#8221; on Tesla facilities.
Gerber previously indicated he would &#8220;eventually&#8221; sell his Cybertruck, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43761581/ross-gerber-says-hes-eventually-selling-his-cybertruck-because-the-hate-is-real-as-protests-rock-tesla-showrooms">writing in February</a> that &#8220;the hate is real&#8221; after spotting a vandalized vehicle. Public figures like singer Sheryl Crow have publicly documented selling their Teslas over political disagreements with Musk.
Tesla&#8217;s challenges extend internationally, with German sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44295808/tesla-braces-for-lowest-quarterly-deliveries-since-2022-jpmorgan-predicts-a-brand-has-lost-so-much-value-so-quickly">reportedly dropping 60% year-over-year in January</a> following Musk&#8217;s support for far-right political groups. JPMorgan Chase analysts warned Wednesday that Tesla &#8220;lost too much brand value too quickly&#8221; and could face its lowest quarterly deliveries since 2022.
The company reported its first-ever annual sales decline in 2024, though Musk pledged Tuesday that Tesla would double its U.S. vehicle production over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44346423/teslas-biggest-bull-frustrated-with-elon-musks-focus-on-doge-over-company-patience-wearing-thin">the next two years</a>.

The cryptocurrency market witnessed a significant rebound last week, ably supported by leading memecoins and Telegram-linked Toncoin.
What happened: BNX, the native token of the GameFi platform BinaryX, topped the gainers list, exploding over 60% over the week.
The BNB Chain (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>)-based coin was just 10% away from bettering its all-time high set two years ago.&nbsp;
The rally came ahead of the project's rebranding to Four (FORM) to align with its newest product, Four.meme, an ecosystem for meme coins.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) continues to trade at elevated valuation levels despite Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. significantly reducing its stake in the iPhone maker, according to a prominent market analyst.
What Happened: Lawrence McDonald, founder of Bear Traps Report, highlighted concerns about Apple&#8217;s current price-to-sales ratio in a post on X on Sunday. 
&#8220;Think about your 401k and Apple, its (S&amp;P 500) Top holding — From 2005 to 2020, Apple traded between a 2 and 5 handle price to sales. On Christmas Eve, she peaked at 10.2x sales and now sits—After Buffett dumped nearly 70% of his shares—at 8.2x,&#8221; McDonald wrote.
The price-to-sales ratio measures a company&#8217;s market cap relative to revenue, showing how much investors pay per dollar of sales. Apple&#8217;s current 8.2x P/S far exceeds its historical 2-5x range, a premium it began surpassing after June 2020, according <a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/inr/apple/ps-ratio/">to</a> CompaniesMarketCap
McDonald warned that the growing influence of passive index funds is damaging the market&#8217;s ability to price stocks efficiently, with Apple being a prime example.

Why It Matters: The comments come after Buffett&#8217;s dramatic reduction in Berkshire&#8217;s Apple holdings over the past year. Berkshire held 905.6 million Apple shares valued at approximately $174 billion at the start of 2024 but sold 116.2 million shares in the first quarter and an additional 389.7 million in the second quarter. 
By the end of the third quarter, Buffett had further reduced the position to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41428505/warren-buffett-may-have-missed-out-on-23m-worth-of-profits-after-selling-apple-stocks-report">around 300 million shares</a>.
The valuation concerns and China sales troubles have impacted Apple&#8217;s stock performance. While AAPL gained 14.8% over the past year, it significantly underperformed the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 25.6% rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43198776/will-warren-buffett-sell-more-apple-stock-after-iphone-sales-drop-in-china">during the same period</a>. 
A recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43198776/will-warren-buffett-sell-more-apple-stock-after-iphone-sales-drop-in-china">investor poll by Benzinga</a> showed opinion nearly evenly split on Buffett&#8217;s next move, with 56% believing he will maintain his remaining Apple position for the long term, while 44% expect further reductions soon.
