With market volatility rising and the VIX index up 27.7% in six weeks, Berkshire Hathaway is poised to invest in quality companies trading at discounts. Five stocks—Dominion Energy, GATX, Mastercard, Illinois Tool Works, and Chubb—are highlighted as potential targets, each offering durable competitive advantages and predictable cash flows. Chubb stands out as the most likely next purchase, given Berkshire's existing stake and its attractive valuation. A market correction could accelerate Berkshire’s buying activity in these stocks, signaling opportunities for investors to watch.
