Broadcom's Importance to Your Portfolio and Berkshire Resumes Stock Buybacks

Three stories every long-term investor should be paying attention to today. First, Broadcom. Most people who own index funds like QQQ or the S&P 500 have meaningful exposure to AVGO without ever realizing it. We walk through why Broadcom matters, what the company actually does, and why understanding your largest index holdings is a core part of being an informed investor. AVGO just reported record Q1 fiscal 2026 results with revenue of $19.3 billion, up 29% year over year, and AI semiconductor revenue growing 106% — so if you own an index fund, this earnings report affects you whether you know it or not. Then we get into the US-Iran conflict. Operation Epic Fury is now in day five, and the central question for investors is how long this goes. Trump initially projected a four to five week operation, but analysts are already flagging that Iran is a large country with an extensive security apparatus, and a swift resolution is far from guaranteed. We look at what different duration scenarios mean for markets, energy prices, and how investors should be thinking about positioning. Finally, Berkshire Hathaway. After four straight quarters of zero buyback activity, Berkshire disclosed on March 4th that it has resumed repurchasing Class A and Class B shares under new CEO Greg Abel, citing a view that shares are trading below intrinsic value. We discuss what that signal means and why it matters for long-term shareholders.
