Berkshire Hathaway and Mastercard Don't Need AI to Keep Growing. Both Look Worth Owning Through 2030.
Neither company needs a data center boom to keep growing. Is that worth owning for the next four years?
Overview
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKA)(NYSE:BRKB) and Mastercard (NYSE:MA) aren't chipmakers or cloud-computing businesses. But both are growing their profits at a double-digit pace.
Berkshire's four big operating units earned 11% more in the first half of 2026 than in the same period of 2025. And Mastercard's second-quarter earnings per share climbed 22% from a year earlier.
Details
For a stock meant to be held through 2030, I think this matters. If spending on artificial intelligence (AI) slows over the next four years, neither company loses its main driver of growth.
