This Looks Like the Perfect Stock for Warren Buffett and Greg Abel to Buy Right Now
Yahoo Finance ·
Greg Abel took over the CEO job at Berkshire Hathaway ( BRKA 0.17% ) ( BRKB 0.33% ) from Warren Buffett at the start of 2026. He's already proven to be a more proactive manager when it comes to the stocks Berkshire Hathaway owns and businesses it buys. One interesting move was his behind-the-scenes push to stop Kraft Heinz ( KHC +0.69% ) from splitting up its business. Despite the troubles Kraft Heinz has faced, Abel should still consider buying into McCormick ( MKC +1.77% ) and its planned acquisition. Despite the less-than-desirable outcome with Kraft Heinz, Abel is pushing the company's new leadership team to right the ship before splitting the business in two again. Two bad companies are no better than one bad company. Despite Kraft Heinz's troubles, Abel should consider buying McCormick, as it is looking to acquire Unilever 's ( UL +1.20% ) food business. This is a very large transaction for McCormick, as it will roughly double the company's size. Investors are worried about the transaction, noting that McCormick's stock fell on the news. It rose as investors digested the story, but then tumbled around 15% as the scope of the deal came into focus. While the shares have recovered after a solid quarterly earnings update, the stock has basically gone nowhere since the acquisition announcement.
