Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 76 days.
The thesis — published November 14, 2025
Big, long-term investors, including Buffett and a major fund, bought more shares, showing confidence. More people are buying than usual, which can help the price over the next three months. Still, recent profit numbers were soft and the share count ticked up, which can slow gains. Plan to buy on dips and consider adding if the price moves above $162, especially if oil stays steady and buybacks continue.
Primary drivers
- Big investors have been buying, which can support the stock.
- Buying interest is stronger than usual, helping the uptrend.
- Focus on dividends and buybacks shows disciplined cash use.
- Recent profits were weaker, so keep an eye on results.
