  • Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has been busy over the past week buying stock in an internet domain-name registry company, to extend its stature as the company's largest shareholder.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has significantly increased its stake in Verisign Inc., a company that manages the .com and .net domain name registries, by purchasing an additional 1.7 million shares, bringing its total ownership to about 12.8% of the company. This move reflects Buffett's strategy of investing in businesses with strong, predictable cash flows and a dominant market position, as Verisign holds a near-monopoly in its niche. Verisign's stock has seen a 20% increase in value over the past year, and its shares rose 1.5% in premarket trading following the news of Berkshire's increased investment. The company's business model is straightforward, focusing on domain registration and renewals, which provides a stable revenue stream. Despite its high valuation, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 35, Buffett's continued investment suggests confidence in Verisign's future growth and profitability.
