Barron’s associate editor Andrew Bary joins ‘Barron’s Roundtable’ with insight into letter due out Feb. 27<\/p>\n
It’s that magical time of year again.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Warren Buffett will release one of the most anticipated financial updates of the year: his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders.<\/p>\n
The annual report will also include Berkshire’s financial results, in addition to the latest musings from the “Oracle of Omaha.”<\/p>\n
Here’s a look at what investors may expect to hear about this year:<\/p>\n
CHARLIE MUNGER: ROBINHOOD LURING AMATEURS WITH COMMISSION-FREE TRADING IS A ‘DIRTY WAY OF MAKING MONEY’<\/strong><\/p>\n Some Berkshire investors have been asking for the company to pay shareholders a dividend for years. Could this finally be the year it happens?<\/p>\n Barron’s associate editor and “Buffett watcher,” Andrew Bary said on Barron’s Insight last week that it’s something Berkshire “could easily afford.”<\/p>\n “The company’s sitting on about $150 billion in cash right now and it has $25 billion of earnings power,” he said. “And Buffett has not found a lot to do with Berkshire’s earnings the last couple years in terms of buying businesses or stock market investments.”<\/p>\n Bary suggested a 2% dividend as “a good start.” However, Buffett has long resisted paying a dividend.<\/p>\n “He thinks investors should simply sell a portion of their Berkshire holdings every year rather than have Berkshire pay a dividend, but I think the time may now be coming for him to pay it,” he said.<\/p>\nFinally a Berkshire Hathaway dividend?<\/h2>\n
