When Warren Buffett first met Pete Liegl, the founder of Forest River, in 2005, he was prepared to negotiate. But Liegl's surprising salary request left Buffett momentarily speechless.
Nearly two decades later, that deal has proven to be one of Berkshire Hathaway's (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>) most lucrative acquisitions.
What Happened: In his latest annual <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43900955/berkshire-hathaways-q4-profits-soar-71-warren-buffett-says-his-firm-has-paid-more-taxes-than-tech-titans-in-trillions">shareholder letter released</a> on Saturday, Buffett reflected on Liegl's impact, calling him "one of a kind" and praising his leadership for contributing "many billions" to Berkshire shareholders.
The "Oracle of Omaha" recounted how he was introduced to Forest River through a letter from an intermediary on June 21, 2005. He liked the company's fundamentals and quickly set up a meeting with Liegl, his wife Sharon, and his daughter Lisa in Omaha.

During negotiations, Buffett asked Liegl how much he wanted to be paid. His response was shocking: "Well, I looked at Berkshire's proxy statement and I wouldn't want to make more than my boss, so pay me $100,000 per year."
Buffett was floored but agreed. Liegl added one more request — a 10% bonus on earnings above what the company was already delivering. Buffett accepted the terms, and over the next 19 years, Liegl "shot the lights out" with no competitor coming close to his performance.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Forest River remains a multibillion-dollar enterprise under Berkshire Hathaway. Despite economic challenges, it has consistently contributed to Berkshire's consumer products group.
In 2024, Forest River's revenues grew 6.4%, with a 7.9% increase in unit sales, partially driven by recent acquisitions, <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/02/24/warren-buffett-forest-river-pete-liegl-wage-negotiation/">reported</a> Fortune.
Even in a tough 2023, the company's resilience was evident, and in 2022, Forest River's performance helped boost Berkshire's consumer products revenue by $481 million.
Berkshire Hathaway reported a sharp rise in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43918506/berkshire-hathaway-stock-hits-new-all-time-highs-passes-tesla-analyst-sees-more-upside-ahead">fourth-quarter earnings</a>, driven by strong insurance performance. Operating profit jumped 71% to $14.53 billion, with insurance underwriting soaring 302% to $3.41 billion and investment income rising 50% to $4.09 billion. Full-year operating earnings grew 27% to $47.44 billion.
In the letter, Buffett acknowledged that not every business acquisition works out, but leaders like Liegl, who built an empire through talent rather than elite education, prove that a single winning decision can "make a breathtaking difference over time."

Unilever Appoints Fernando Fernandez As New CEO Following Hein Schumacher's Departure; Srinivas Phatak Appointed Interim CFO

Shares of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) declined on Monday and the Chinese technology giant's Hong Kong-listed shares continued to fall on Tuesday triggered by President Donald Trump's remarks to limit Chinese spending and investment.
What Happened: Jack Ma&#8217;s BABA which has gained 51.90% on a year-to-date basis and its HK counterpart 9988 which was up 60.39% during the same period fell after Trump's memo directed the Committee on Foreign Investment to take action.
The committee is a secretive panel that reviews foreign investments in companies or property for potential national security risks.
As reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-24/trump-targets-china-with-biggest-salvo-of-moves-of-second-term">by</a> Bloomberg, the panel was asked by the President to curb <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43924817/chinese-stocks-are-on-the-rise-today-whats-going-on">Chinese</a> spending on technology and other strategic U.S. sectors. Furthermore, to counter China&#8217;s dominance in shipbuilding, the U.S. proposed fees for the use of Chinese-made commercial ships.

Why It Matters: Alibaba's U.S.-listed American depository receipts have rallied 43.39% since the Jan. 25 weekend, when DeepSeek topped Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) App Store charts and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) fell 17%.

Alibaba Sinks 4% In Hong Kong After US-Listed ADRs Plunge 10% As Trump Limits Foreign Investments In Chinese Tech

The CEO of&nbsp;Nike Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Elliott Hill, has earned the confidence of Jeffries analyst Randal Konik, who is optimistic about Hill&#8217;s strategic plans for the company.
What Happened: Konik, in his analyst note to clients, shared that Hill&#8217;s strategy to rejuvenate wholesale partnerships and launch new products will substantially enhance Nike&#8217;s profitability and market share in the athletic footwear industry in the foreseeable future, <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/buy-nikes-stock-aggressively-as-new-ceos-playbook-should-work-analyst-says-6981a18a">reported</a> Market Watch. As a result, Konik upgraded his rating on Nike&#8217;s stock from &#8216;Hold&#8217; to &#8216;Buy&#8217;, dubbing it his &#8220;new top pick.&#8221;
Konik also raised his stock price target for Nike to $115 from $75, suggesting a potential 43.2% upside from the closing price of $80.28 on Monday. He opines that the current valuation of Nike&#8217;s stock, regarding sales expectations for the upcoming year, is at its lowest in ten years, creating a &#8220;valuation floor.&#8221;
"With shares near a valuation trough, we believe now is the right time to aggressively buy shares," wrote Konik in the note.
Despite past missteps, including a reduced focus on product innovation and an excessive emphasis on Nike Digital and direct sales, Konik remains confident that Hill&#8217;s expertise and strategy will resolve these challenges. He also pointed out a notable rise in job postings for product roles, indicating a renewed focus on product innovation.
Konik anticipates a V-shaped recovery in margins by 2027, pushing earnings above current Wall Street expectations. A Jefferies survey found that more than half of U.S. consumers planning to purchase athletic footwear prefer Nike, reinforcing Konik&#8217;s optimistic outlook.

Why It Matters: Nike&#8217;s strategic moves under Hill&#8217;s leadership have already begun to bear fruit. The company recently announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43789704/kim-kardashians-skims-joins-forces-with-nike-to-redefine-fitness-fashion-stock-gains">the launch of NikeSKIMS</a>, a new brand developed in collaboration with SKIMS, an American shapewear and clothing brand co-founded by Kim Kardashian. 
Nike also returned to the Super Bowl advertisement arena after 27 long years. The brand hogged the limelight with its commercial putting a female athlete on centerstage. This ad aired at a time for Nike when it strives to revitalize its business following three consecutive quarters of declining revenue. In the quarter ending November, net revenue dropped 7.7% to $12.35 billion. The stock has plunged more than 23% over the last year.
The brand has been suffering since the COVID-19 pandemic after it spoiled relations with wholesalers in a bid to push direct-to-customer sales. However, investor confidence seems to have returned after the veteran CEO presented a turnaround plan in December.
Notably, Bill Ackman&#8216;s Pershing Square Holdings converted their <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43756694/bill-ackmans-pershing-square-adjusts-portfolio-trims-chipotle-and-boosts-nike">Nike equity position</a> into deep-in-the-money call options in early 2025 sensing a potential upside to the stock. In their investor presentation, Pershing Square stated, &#8220;Hill is the ideal person to return Nike to dominance and growth.&#8221;
Nike stock jumped 4.9% yesterday following the bullish note by the Jeffries analyst.

Leidos Partners With AI Company SeeTrue To Improve The Efficiency Of Airport Security And Customs Screenings

Swedish EV maker Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSNY#NASDAQ">PSNY</a>) is offering up to $20,000 to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) vehicle owners who choose to make a switch and lease a Polestar 3.
What Happened: &#8220;Make the switch to Polestar. Save up to $20,000 on a Polestar 3 lease as a Tesla owner,&#8221; the company says on its U.S. website.
The offer, which began on Feb. 21, expires on Feb 28. It is only available on the lease of a new model year 2025 Polestar 3 vehicle.
Polestar 3 is an SUV that starts at $67,500, cheaper than a Tesla Model X but pricier than the top variant of its Model Y. The long-range all-wheel drive variant of Tesla&#8217;s refreshed Model Y starts at $59,990.
Why It Matters: Polestar targeting Tesla owners is not unexpected. Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43155064/polestar-ceo-looks-to-attract-tesla-customers-disenchanted-by-elon-musks-politics-somebody-outside-of-germany-endorsing-right-wing-politicial-parties-totally-unacceptable">said in an interview last month</a> that Tesla CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s involvement in global politics is pushing away customers.
Lohscheller said that a lot of people have "very, very negative sentiment" about Musk's involvement in politics. The Polestar CEO also said that he has told the company's salespersons to target disappointed Tesla owners for potential business.
Lohscheller became CEO of Polestar in October. &#8220;Both in terms of volumes and financials, we expect 2025 to be the strongest year in Polestar&#8217;s history," the CEO said in January. 
The company reported a 15% drop in sales<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42896581/polestar-sees-5-3-increase-in-q4-retail-sales-order-intake-surges-37-2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;to 44,851 cars for the full year 2024.</a>

Domino&#8217;s Pizza Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NASDAQ">DPZ</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43909695/dominos-pizza-posts-q4-earnings-below-estimates-stock-falls">missed</a> its fourth-quarter estimates but still delivered about 1% market share gains in the quick service restaurant (QSR) space in the U.S. The management reiterated confidence to "capture additional" market share gains in 2025.
What Happened: CEO Russell Weiner largely attributed the market share gains to the company's focus on value. According to him, their value-driven initiatives like Emergency Pizza, MOREflation, and aggregator partnerships resonated with consumers.
He said "renowned value was key" for its success for the year. "It helped drive market share gains in QSR pizza of about 1% in the U.S., consistent with our average annual share growth since 2015," he added.
Furthermore, talking about the future he said that Domino&#8217;s will deliver U.S. same-store sales growth of "3% or more annually," along with 175 net new stores.
"This would enable Domino&#8217;s to continue to capture additional market share gains in 2025 and beyond," he added.

Why It Matters: The company fell short of the fourth quarter expectations despite expanding global retail sales. Revenue rose 2.9% to $1.44 billion, missing the $1.48 billion estimate. Global retail sales increased 4.4% excluding currency impact, fueled by 364 new stores globally. U.S. same-store sales edged up 0.4%, while international grew 2.7% excluding currency. EPS was $4.89, below the anticipated $4.92.
The company also raised its dividend by 15.2% to $1.74 with a record date of March 14, to be paid on&nbsp;March 28. 
CFO Sandeep Reddy said that the company expects an operating profit growth of approximately 8% excluding the impact of currency next year. "At current exchange rates, we are expecting foreign currency to be a headwind of approximately 1% to 2% on operating income growth," he added.
Price Action: Domino's fell 1.46% on Monday, contrasting with a 1.18% decline in the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which tracks the Nasdaq 100 index.
DPZ remains higher by 4.76% on a year-to-date basis and 0.73% lower over a year.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DPZ/analyst-ratings">Benzinga tracks 29 analysts</a> with an average price target of $502.97 for the stock, reflecting a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating. Estimates range widely from $402 to $612. Recent ratings from TD Cowen, Stephens &amp; Co., and TD Securities average $466.67, suggesting a potential 2.13% upside.

Domino's Pizza Sees 1% QSR Market Share Increase Despite Q4 Earnings Miss: 'Consistent With Our Average Annual Share Growth'

Gold prices hit an all-time high Monday as President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43926015/trump-confirms-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-will-take-effect-as-planned">tariff threat</a> sent risk-on markets lower, driving demand for the safe haven asset.
What happened: Spot gold rose to $2,956 per ounce early morning before dipping to $2,937.67 as of this writing. Gold futures on the Commodity Exchange also climbed to an intraday high of 2,970.39 before settling at $2.952.
The yellow metal has gained 12.3% year-to-date and roughly 44% over the last 12 months.&nbsp;
Gold's rise contrasted with that of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), often dubbed the "digital gold" by its advocates, as the apex cryptocurrency slid 4.48% in the last 24 hours.

Why It Matters: Peter Schiff, a renowned gold bug and Bitcoin critic, highlighted how SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), the world's largest gold exchange-traded fund, has risen 12.42% year-to-date, while Bitcoin-tied ETFs have struggled.&nbsp;
"Instead of 2025 beginning a golden age for Bitcoin, it looks like it will just be a golden age," Schiff threw a jibe.

While Bitcoin has certainly struggled this year, it has surpassed gold in terms of annual returns, rising more than 76% vs. the bullion metal's 44% returns.
On a larger time frame, the gulf becomes wider. Bitcoin has gained a whopping 35,807% in the last 10 years, compared to 142% return on gold investment.

Bitcoin Is Struggling In 2025 As Gold Clocks New All-Time High But Here Is The Full Picture

Deepwater Management&#8216;s Gene Munster&nbsp;has shared his insights on Apple&#8217;s recent announcement of $500 billion U.S. investments.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Munster took to X to present his analysis of&nbsp;Apple Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)&#8217;s decision to ramp up its annual U.S. expenditures. He believes the tech giant is set to increase its annual U.S. investments by $39 billion, a 45% increase from the 2021 run rate. However, Munster suggests the actual&nbsp;incremental investment is closer to&nbsp;$20 billion annually.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Three takeaways from $AAPL's announcement of investments in the US: 1- The quick math suggests Apple is increasing its annual US expenditures by $39B, up 45% from the run rate outlined in 2021.

&mdash; Gene Munster (@munster_gene) <a href="https://twitter.com/munster_gene/status/1894086801452646772?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 24, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
He also indicated that Apple&#8217;s announcement underscores its realization that an AI-powered future necessitates significant infrastructure investments. He estimates that 15% of the $19 billion incremental spend will be allocated to the hiring of 20,000 new employees, adding roughly $3 billion in annual employee expenses. The remaining 85% is likely to be invested in infrastructure, including expanding data center capacity and chip production for Apple Watches and iPads.
Munster&#8217;s third point underscores Apple&#8217;s strategic approach to bypass tariffs by redirecting those savings into U.S. investments. He estimates that the U.S. accounts for about 35% of Apple&#8217;s total sales, translating to approximately $147 billion in revenue this year. Of that, around $120 billion comes from product sales, which could be affected by the 10% tariffs. Hence, by boosting its domestic investments, Apple could potentially save at least $11 billion per year by avoiding the tariff. Put simply, tariff avoidance covers half of the additional $19 billion in U.S. investment announced.

Why It Matters: Apple CEO Tim Cook&#8216;s announcement of this massive investment in the U.S. is being widely perceived as a means to avoid the tariff threat. Tariffs have been a cause of major cause of concern for Apple. Bank of America analyst Analyst Wamsi Mohan had previously stated that iPhone manufacturers will need to increase prices on iPhones, iPads, and other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43839627/apple-may-hike-iphone-prices-by-9-due-to-trumps-tariffs-says-bank-of-america">products by about 9%</a> to offset the impact of tariffs.
Meanwhile, President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43911774/trump-says-apples-500-billion-investment-is-due-to-his-policies-without-which-they-wouldnt-be-investing-ten-cents">Donald Trump stated</a> that the investment was a result of Apple&#8217;s confidence in his administration and policies. 
Apart from Gene Munster, several other analysts have presented their reactions to the iPhone maker&#8217;s $500 billion investment. UBS analyst David Vogt stated that  &#8220;it lacks substance&#8221;, while renowned short-seller James Chanos called it &#8220;unrealistic&#8221; considering Apple&#8217;s current capital base is less than $160 billion. On the other hand, Wedbush&#8217;s Dan Ives said, &#8220;Apple made the smart strategic move with this $500 billion bet on its US buildout.&#8221;
Apple stock closed 0.66% higher at $247.17 on Monday.
