T-Mobile US Unusual Options Activity

U.S. markets suffered a steep selloff Monday as President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs, extending last week&#8217;s losses and driving declines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">across all major sectors</a>.
What Happened: The S&amp;P 500 tracked by The SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:&nbsp;SPY) closed at 5,849.72, sinking 1.76%, continuing its retreat from 5,983 on Feb 24.

Why It Matters: The catalyst for Monday&#8217;s selloff was Trump&#8217;s announcement of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, plus an additional 20% tariff on Chinese goods. The Kobeissi Letter noted these increases would raise the U.S. average effective tariff to approximately 20%, levels not seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">since the Great Depression</a>.
Market strategist Tom Lee of Fundstrat suggested this week could mark the bottom for stocks in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44072005/tom-lee-sees-stocks-potentially-hitting-first-half-lows-this-week-bad-news-has-gotten-priced-in">first half of 2025</a>, noting &#8220;a lot of bad news has gotten priced in&#8221; and that retail sentiment has reached bearish levels comparable to fall 2022.
Wall Street remains divided on the tariffs&#8217; impact, with Peter Schiff warning of domestic economic harm while others like Anthony Pompliano pointed to Taiwan Semiconductor&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) $100 billion U.S. investment announcement as evidence tariffs might boost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">domestic manufacturing</a>.

<a href="https://13f.info/13f/000095012325002701-berkshire-hathaway-inc-q4-2024">A regulatory filing</a> released on Feb. 14, showed that Berkshire slashed its stake in Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), cutting its shares from over 1 billion to about 680 million by the end of last year. The drop reduced Berkshire's ownership from over 13% to 11%, bringing the value of the investment from about $41 billion to under $30 billion.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Portfolio Adjustments</h2>
Beyond Bank of America, Berkshire adjusted several other financial holdings. According to the filing, the firm sold 74% of its Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) stake, 18% of its Capital One (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) position, and 54% of its shares in Nu Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>).&nbsp;
It also trimmed investments in Charter Communications (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>), Louisiana-Pacific (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPX#NYSE">LPX</a>), and T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>). The changes indicate a move away from financial stocks and select industries.
At the same time, Berkshire made a notable addition, buying a $1.2 billion stake in Constellation Brands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STZ#NYSE">STZ</a>), the company behind popular beers like Corona and Modelo. As per market trends, consumer staples tend to hold up well in uncertain economic times, making this a strategic shift toward more stable investments.
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
Berkshire also increased its holdings in companies tied to steady consumer demand. Its stake in Domino's Pizza (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) grew by 86%, and its investment in Pool Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POOL#NASDAQ">POOL</a>) jumped by 48%.&nbsp;
These moves suggest confidence in businesses that remain relevant regardless of market conditions—whether people are tightening their budgets or not, they still order pizza and maintain their pools.
Not all holdings made the cut. Berkshire fully exited Ulta Beauty (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULTA#NASDAQ">ULTA</a>) despite only acquiring shares in the second quarter of 2024.&nbsp;
See Also: Many don&#8217;t know there are tax benefits when buying a unit as an investment —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/casa-shares"> Here&#8217;s how to invest in real estate by mirroring BlackRock's big move</a>
It also sold off its positions in two major exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the S&amp;P 500—SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>). This suggests a more targeted approach rather than following the broader market.
Berkshire's cash pile has reached record levels. According to its <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/3rdqtr24.pdf">financial reports</a>, the company sold about $133 billion worth of stocks in the first nine months of 2024 while buying less than $6 billion.&nbsp;
Share buybacks also slowed, with under $3 billion spent compared to nearly $70 billion over the previous four years, <a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/news/warren-buffett-dumped-stocks-built-a-dollar300-billion-cash-pile-and-updated-his/pgecrnn">according to Business Insider</a>.&nbsp; These moves helped Berkshire's cash reserves soar past $300 billion for the first time, nearly doubling from $168 billion at the start of the year, the report added.&nbsp;
