In this article, we will look at the 11 Best Performing Warren Buffett Stocks in 2025.
Warren Buffett is the fifth wealthiest individual today (worth $152 billion as of June 23, 2025), according to Forbes. Much of this wealth comes from Berkshire Hathaway, a company he transformed from a textile manufacturing firm into the diversified conglomerate it is today. Berkshire is also Buffett’s investment vehicle.
Warren Buffett has been a net seller for 10 consecutive quarters, growing Berkshire Hathaway’s cash pile to a record $347 billion. His value-driven approach has yielded nearly 20% compounded annual returns over multiple decades, setting a benchmark for long-term performance in hedge fund-style investing.
However, Buffett announced in early May that he would hand over Berkshire’s reins, an asset responsible for over 90% of his net worth. According to the legendary investor, the person chosen to step into his shoes can carry on Berkshire’s culture. But the company’s stock has tumbled by over 10% since the big announcement.
Some experts believe the sell-off is partially due to the absence of the Buffett premium. Kevin Heal, a Berkshire analyst at Argus Research, told CNBC that Buffett’s decision to exit active management could have played an enormous role in the conglomerate’s stock underperforming since May. However, Meyer Shields, a Berkshire analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, believes there is a lot of Buffett premium left. His back-of-the-envelope guess is that Berkshire’s stock may tumble a further 5-10% when Buffett leaves the chairman position on December 31, 2025.

9. Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR)
Year-to-Date Returns as of June 23: 13.01%
Warren Buffett Stake as of Q1 2025: $731,258,969
Number of Hedge Fund Holders as of Q1 2025: 59
Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) is one of the 11 best performing Warren Buffett stocks in 2025. On June 20, Wolfe Research raised the company’s stock from an “Underperform” rating to a “Peer Perform” rating. According to the analysts, the key reason for the upgrade is the potential financial benefits for Charter from the anticipated reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation.
In 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act introduced 100% bonus depreciation. This move allowed companies to deduct the full cost of certain capital expenditures immediately. But this provision began phasing out in 2023. In 2025, the House passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill”, aiming to reinstate full bonus depreciation through 2029 (2030 for some assets). The bill seeks to stimulate capital investment and reduce near-term tax burdens for infrastructure-heavy firms like Charter.
Charter stands out as a prime beneficiary with its $93.6 billion debt load and capital-intensive broadband infrastructure. Wolfe Research’s analysts highlighted that the company could see $1.8 billion in tax savings in 2025 alone. This is a 30% free cash flow (FCF) boost, potentially doubling FCF per share by 2027.
Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) is a broadband connectivity and cable operator company. It provides internet, video, voice, and mobile services to over 32 million customers across 41 US states. Its leading brand is Spectrum, which offers high-speed internet, cable TV, home phone, and mobile services to both residential and business clients.
