David Kostin, the Chief U.S. Equity Strategist of Goldman Sachs, has revised his earnings growth forecast, citing a weaker economic outlook, and highlighted a shift in market trends.
What Happened: On CNBC&#8217;s &#8216;Squawk on the Street&#8217;, Kostin discussed his revised earnings growth forecast and market trends. Initially projected at 11%, the earnings growth forecast for 2025 has now been adjusted to 9%. 
Despite this, Kostin maintains that the earnings growth for 2026 remains at 7%, unchanged. He also stated that the S&amp;P 500 year-end target remains at 6500, suggesting an 11% gain from current levels.

Kostin also noted a shift in investment strategy, with investors moving from &#8220;excitement&#8221; (cyclicals) to &#8220;boredom&#8221;&nbsp;(defensive stocks) amid tariff&nbsp;uncertainties. He identified healthcare and consumer staples as preferred sectors for their stability and less sensitivity to the ongoing trade war. He also named&nbsp;Thermo Fisher (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>) and Agilent Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/A#NYSE">A</a>) as strong investment options. 
Furthermore, he notes a shift in focus from AI infrastructure and hyperscalers to software companies that would be leveraging AI to amplify their revenues, for instance, MongoDB (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDB#NASDAQ">MDB</a>). 
According to Kostin, uncertainty around tariffs makes forecasting difficult, but models suggest&nbsp;earnings will be impacted through unit volumes and margins. The strategist estimated that a 5% increase in tariffs&nbsp;could reduce earnings growth by&nbsp;1-2%.

Why It Matters: This shift in investment strategy is noteworthy, considering that institutional investors were bullish on technology and financials during the fourth quarter of 2024. Investors were seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43878703/institutional-investors-load-up-on-technology-and-financial-stocks-in-q4-while-reducing-positions-in-healthcare-sector-amid-political-uncertainty">pulling back</a> from the healthcare sector, which Kostin now identifies as a preferred sector. Even Warren Buffet&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway trimmed its stake in healthcare provider DaVita Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVA#NYSE">DVA</a>), bringing down the ownership to 45%.
These market shifts and Kostin&#8217;s revised forecast underline the uncertainties in the current economic climate but also highlight potential&nbsp;opportunities in defensive sectors and&nbsp;AI-driven businesses. That being said, Kostin expects the falling bond yields to offset some tariff effects, potentially benefiting the economy. He summed up by saying that GDP growth is the primary driver of earnings, with interest rates and inflation playing secondary roles.
The S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) climbed 1.12% to close at 5,842.63 on Wednesday after President Donald Trump pushed back auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico by one month.

Warren Buffett&#8216;s investment firm, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), has offloaded a 2% stake in dialysis service provider, DaVita Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVA#NYSE">DVA</a>). The transaction, executed between February 14 and 19, is valued at around $116 million.
What Happened: A Form 4 filing with the&nbsp;U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission&nbsp;(SEC) on Wednesday night revealed that Berkshire Hathaway sold 750,000 DaVita shares, in multiple batches, bringing its stake in the company down to 35.14 million shares, or approximately 44%. This follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/02/43721022/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-sells-nearly-36-million-worth-of-dialysis-giant-davitas-shares-amid-q4-earnings-beat">previous sale of 203,091 shares </a>on February 11, which reduced Berkshire&#8217;s ownership to 45%.
The latest transaction is categorized as an insider trade, differing from the earlier trade&nbsp;related to a share buyback&nbsp;agreement. These sales are a part of Berkshire&#8217;s continuous portfolio management approach, but the real reason behind the sale has not been disclosed. 
Despite the recent sales, the Buffet-led company continues to be a majority owner of DaVita, holding 35.14 million shares worth approximately $5.4 billion. According to Reuters, Berkshire has been a DaVita investor since the last quarter of 2011.

The company projected full-year EPS between $10.20 and $11.30, falling short of the analysts&#8217; average expectation of $11.44. &nbsp;
Shortage of intravenous fluid, elevated mortality rates, and regulatory changes are some of the challenges that the company has been grappling with recently. Javier Rodriquez, CEO of DaVita acknowledged the challenges and stated, &#8220;Despite a year with unique hurdles, we finished strong in 2024, producing full year adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS in the top half of our guidance range.&#8221;
Meanwhile, according to StreetInsider, Bernstein SocGen Group analyst Lisa Bedell Clive stated &#8216;We View the Results as Negative&#8217;. She reinforced a &#8216;Market Perform&#8217; rating and a price target of $184.00 on DaVita stock. 
That said, the shares of the kidney dialysis provider surged more than 20% over the past 12 months.

DaVita shares are trading lower after the company reported Q4 financial results.

The shares of DaVita Inc.(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVA#NYSE">DVA</a>) plunged 10.2% in pre-market hours trading on Friday after Berkshire Hathaway trimmed its stake in the company. The dialysis provider also issued a weak outlook for 2025 as it announced its results after the market closed on Thursday.
What Happened: Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), the multinational conglomerate headed by Warren Buffett, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/02/43721022/warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-sells-nearly-36-million-worth-of-dialysis-giant-davitas-shares-amid-q4-earnings-beat">sold off its 45% stake</a> or 203,091 shares in the company. This sale, which took place on February 11, has brought down the conglomerate&#8217;s holdings to approximately $6.4 billion, representing about 35.89 million shares.

DaVita Plunges Over 10% In Friday Pre-Market After Warren Buffett Cuts Stake In One Of Berkshire Hathaway's Longest-Held Investments

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) has cut its stake in the dialysis provide DaVita Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVA#NYSE">DVA</a>) according to a U.S. Securities Exchange Commission filing.
What Happened: According to the SEC filing, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43622036/warren-buffett-indicator-tops-205-amid-skyrocketing-sp-500-valuations-as-this-billionaire-dot-com-crash-predictor-sounds-alarm">Buffett</a>&#8216;s Berkshire sold 203,091 shares of DaVita on Feb 11. Based on the stock's Thursday closing price, the transaction was valued at $35.96 million. Berkshire now owns about 35.892 million shares in the company representing a 45% stake abiding by its earlier share repurchase agreement.
According to Reuters, Berkshire has owned DaVita since the fourth quarter of 2011.

For the year ending Dec. 31, 2024, the company reported consolidated revenue of $12.8 billion, with $3.3 billion generated in the fourth quarter beating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DVA/earnings">Benzinga Pro estimate</a> of $3.27 billion.

Why It Matters: As previously reported in a Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2024, DaVita entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement with Berkshire, the company's largest stockholder, as of April 30, 2024.
Under the agreement, if Berkshire owns at least 45% of DaVita's stock, DaVita will buy back shares from Berkshire quarterly to maintain Berkshire&#8217;s ownership at 45%.
The 2024 filing stated that if Berkshire's ownership exceeds 49.5%, DaVita will repurchase shares immediately. Additionally, Berkshire agreed to vote any shares it owns above 40% according to DaVita's board recommendations.
This agreement does not change the existing Amended Standstill Agreement. Thus, DaVita repurchased its shares to bring back Berkshire&#8217;s holdings to 45% on Feb. 11, ahead of its on Feb. 13.
Price Action: DaVita shares gained 2.94% on Thursday, reaching $177.06 per share, but dropped 6.87% in after-hours trading as the company provided a weak outlook for 2025. DaVita projected a full-year EPS of $10.20 to $11.30, falling short of Wall Street's expectation of $11.44 per share.
The exchange-traded fund tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose 1.06% on Thursday. DVA has risen 18.18% year-to-date, whereas it gained 43.47% over the last year.
The average price target among nine <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DVA/analyst-ratings">analysts tracked by Benzinga</a> is $138.33 with a ‘sell&#8217; rating. The estimates range from $90 to $175 apiece. Recent ratings from Barclays, Truist Securities, and Truist Securities suggest a $168 target, implying a potential upside of 1.89%.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Sells Nearly $36 Million Worth Of Dialysis Giant DaVita's Shares Amid Q4 Earnings Beat

DaVita shares are trading lower. The company reported Q4 financial results.

Outlook:
The following forward-looking measures and the underlying assumptions involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including those described below, and actual results may vary materially from these forward-looking measures. We do not provide guidance for operating income or diluted net income per share attributable to DaVita Inc. on a basis consistent with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) nor a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These current non-GAAP financial measures do not include certain items, including gains on changes in ownership interest, debt prepayment, extinguishment and modification costs, and foreign currency fluctuations, which may be significant. The guidance for our effective income tax rate on adjusted income attributable to DaVita Inc. also excludes the amount of third-party owners' income and related taxes attributable to non-tax paying entities.

Alex Jones&#8217;s media company, Infowars, is now the property of satirical publication The Onion. The publication&#8217;s backers were none other than the families <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41982446/jokes-on-jones-onion-backed-by-families-of-sandy-hook-victims-buys-info-wars">of Sandy Hook victims</a>.

Diamond, currently possessing $100 million in liquidity, will emerge from bankruptcy and operate as a stand-alone entity. Sinclair, the parent company, took on $8 billion in debt to buy regional channels from Fox for $10.6 billion in 2019. That debt contributed to Diamond&#8217;s bankruptcy.

Wall Street anticipates a surge in M&amp;A as Republicans take control of Congress and deregulate. Analysts expect Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan's removal, which could ease antitrust scrutiny. Bank of America highlights that Republican administrations, like President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s, historically foster over 50% more financial sector M&amp;A activity compared to Democratic ones. 
Bank of America also predicts that 2025 could mark a better year for M&amp;A as rate cuts take effect and economic conditions stabilize.

Deal Dispatch: Shell, Unilever And More Are On The Sell Side; The Onion Makes Alex Jones Cry Foul

Berkshire Hathaway 13F Shows Increased Stake In American Express By 17% To 151.6M Shares, Now Worth $41.1B; Increased Stake In Kroger By 15% To 50M Shares, Worth $2.87B; Increased Stake In DaVita By 18%, Now Valued At $5.92B; Increased Stake In Moody's Corp By 13% To 24.67M Shares, Now Worth $11.71B

With Republicans taking control of Congress, Wall Street is buzzing about a potential boom in mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) under the upcoming<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump"> Trump administration.</a>
Bank of America analysts see brighter days ahead for deal-making, anticipating that Trump could remove Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, whose aggressive antitrust stance has been a major roadblock for M&amp;A activity across sectors.
Combined with favorable macro factors and investor demand for capex and M&amp;A over debt paydown, there are plenty of reasons to believe that 2025 and beyond could see significant deal activity.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Banks And Biotech: Two Key Sectors To Watch</h3>
Analysts at Bank of America's U.S. banks team are particularly bullish about the M&amp;A prospects for financials, which have historically enjoyed more than 50% higher deal activity under Republican administrations than Democratic ones. With regulatory scrutiny expected to loosen, the landscape is ripe for a surge in bank deals.
Deal activity in biotech has already started picking up, especially in smaller acquisitions. Big Pharma faces mounting pressure to offset patent expirations, so it&#8217;s hunting for acquisition targets to replenish its drug pipelines. Lower rates and potential deregulation could further fuel biotech M&amp;A as we head into 2025.
"The election results could lead to a less restrictive regulatory environment, which may open the door for more bank mergers and acquisitions,&#8221; Jill Carey Hall, CFA, a Bank of America analyst, said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Macro Factors: Green And Yellow Lights for M&amp;A</h3>
Several macroeconomic factors support a cyclical pick-up in M&amp;A activity. 
Strong equity market returns, cheap small-cap valuations relative to large caps and tight credit spreads all suggest a favorable environment for deal-making.
Not all signals are flashing green. Slowing GDP growth, rate uncertainty and high volatility could throw some caution flags. Long-term growth expectations for small caps, though improved, still remain below average.
Bank of America's credit strategists predict that 2025 could be a better year for M&amp;A activity as rate cuts begin to materialize and volatility subsides. 
"Sponsors are sitting on a pile of uncalled capital, and there's a real incentive to deploy it in a friendlier economic environment," Hall said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who Stands To Gain: Small-Cap Targets, Large-Cap Acquirers</h3>
With large deals on the decline, smaller targets have become the prime candidates for takeovers. 
Aggregate deal value has been falling in recent years as mega-cap deals have dried up and smaller, more manageable transactions have become the norm.
This trend has paid off for both sides: small-cap targets have outperformed post-announcement and large-cap acquirers have seen record one-day gains in 2023 despite paying higher deal premiums.
This pattern suggests that investors are rewarding companies that buy growth, especially in today's uncertain economic landscape.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">10 Potential M&amp;A Candidates Among Large Caps</h3>
Bank of America's latest screening of potential M&amp;A candidates includes high-growth, undervalued names, each with distinct value propositions that may appeal to suitors looking for long-term growth.
