Warren Buffett's market-beating success often seems to be driven by a mysterious edge, but Berkshire Hathaway's investment strategies are rooted in simple, time-tested principles. Instead of chasing speculative trends or taking on outsized risks, Buffett and his team focus on steady, proven businesses. According to Berkshire’s latest 13F filing, their newest major investment is Domino’s Pizza. The addition of Domino’s aligns with Buffett's preference for companies with strong brand recognition and durable moats—similar to past investments like Coca-Cola and Apple, both of which have achieved iconic status in their respective markets.

Domino's fits perfectly into this philosophy with its robust brand identity and consistent cash flow growth over the past decade. Such stability allows the company to increase dividends, another hallmark of Berkshire's investment criteria. In a highly competitive restaurant industry where customer expectations for speed and affordability are relentless, Domino's has demonstrated resilience. Its same-store sales, a key indicator of growth excluding new openings, highlight the company’s ability to maintain strong customer traffic and spending, even in challenging markets.
