MITSUI & CO LTD ADR (US)

MITSY

The total value of the five Japanese “trading houses” in Berkshire Hathaway's equity portfolio has topped $30 billion in recent weeks, and Warren Buffett is apparently still buying.

Rio Tinto said on Tuesday it will invest $733 million, alongside joint venture partners Mitsui and Nippon Steel Corp , to develop new iron ore deposits at the West Angelas hub in Western Australia's Pilbara region.

Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (MITSF)(MITSY) faces continued headwinds from weak metallurgical coal and iron ore markets, with challenges to a sustained recovery. While there is going to be growth in steel capacity in places like India, China is still a wobbly market and supply could come back online or see new introductions. Other growth areas in the business are not that sustainable and based on business performance, though things were alright in crop protection ex-Japan and a bit in food.

Here is how Mitsui & Co. (MITSY) and Resideo Technologies (REZI) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.

Warren Buffett is well known for his preference for holding investments long term. "When we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever," he wrote in his 1988 letter to Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A 0.62%) (BRK.B 0.46%) shareholders.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has increased its stake in Japan's Mitsubishi Corp to 10.23%, crossing a symbolic ownership threshold and deepening the conglomerate's presence in the Japanese trading house sector. This latest move, executed through Berkshire's wholly-owned subsidiary National Indemnity Company, raised stakes from 9.
