Are you worried enough about rising interest rates jump-starting a recession that you're looking for ways of sidestepping the effect of such an economic headwind? It's not a terrible idea to at least start making a mental plan for that possibility.
You may have considered Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) to fill that role. Its wholly owned, private businesses generate plenty of cash flow regardless of the economic backdrop, after all.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
But how do Berkshire shares actually perform during recessions? It's not like the data doesn't exist.
You probably know Berkshire Hathaway best by its stock picks. Although they're not built to be an actively managed mutual fund, its equity holdings -- and changes to these holdings -- are closely followed by investors looking for some new ideas for their own portfolios.

Generac (GNRC) trades at the highest earnings multiple in its five-company peer group on a trailing basis. Yet it ranks last of the five on revenue growth over the past year, and fourth on operating margin. The case for paying up rests on something the trailing numbers do not show yet: a data center order book that ships mostly in 2027.
How Does The Past Year's Slowest Grower Carry The Highest Multiple?
AZZ trades at 20.0 times earnings, about half of Generac's 39.9. It grew revenue 5.7% over the last twelve months, against 0.6% for Generac. It also runs an operating margin of 16.2%, against Generac's 9.5%.

BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX) reported that its investigational lung-cancer drug gotistobart produced a clinically meaningful overall-survival benefit in the Phase 3 PRESERVE-003 trial in patients with metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer whose disease had progressed after prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Reuters said gotistobart nearly doubled survival compared with standard-of-care chemotherapy, strengthening the case for the drug as a potential chemotherapy-free treatment in a population with significant unmet need.
The result builds on earlier Stage 1 data, where gotistobart reduced the risk of death by 54% versus docetaxel, with a hazard ratio of 0.46. Median overall survival was not yet reached for gotistobart versus 9.95 months for docetaxel, while the 12-month progression-free survival rate was 25.2% versus 0%. BioNTech is now awaiting the pivotal Stage 2 readout, making the latest result important not only for the drug's approval prospects but also for the credibility of BioNTech's broader transition from a COVID-vaccine company toward a multi-product oncology business.
The strongest bullish argument is that gotistobart now has repeated evidence of a meaningful survival advantage in a difficult-to-treat lung-cancer population. The earlier Stage 1 dataset showed 55.6% of patients alive in the gotistobart arm versus 23.8% with docetaxel, alongside a 54% reduction in the risk of death. The latest Phase 3 update reinforces that signal rather than introducing an entirely new hypothesis. If the pivotal Stage 2 data confirm the benefit, BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX) could have a differentiated therapy capable of competing on survival rather than simply response rates, potentially supporting meaningful pricing power and a commercially attractive oncology franchise.
The result also strengthens BioNTech's broader oncology strategy because gotistobart is one piece of a much larger pipeline rather than a standalone bet. BioNTech says it has 14 ongoing pivotal trials and more than 10 novel combination programs, while its lung-cancer strategy spans more than 16 ongoing clinical trials and five Phase 3 programs. Gotistobart's success therefore provides validation for the company's immuno-oncology capabilities, while other ***** ets such as pumitamig and antibody-drug conjugates advance toward additional indications. BioNTech has identified 17+ late-stage or pivotal readouts through 2030+, creating the possibility that a successful gotistobart launch becomes the first major commercial proof point in its planned transition to a multi-product oncology company.

The phrase 'AI weapons' often conjures images of machines making life-and-death decisions without human oversight. Xtend AI Robotics, Inc. Common Stock CEO Aviv Shapira believes that narrative has outpaced reality. While autonomy is advancing rapidly across modern defense systems, he argues the industry's trajectory is not about removing humans from the battlefield, but enabling them to make better decisions by letting AI handle speed, complexity and dangerous tasks.
Shapira rejected the idea that autonomous weapons are headed toward fully independent lethal decision-making. "That is a misconception, at least in terms of where the industry is today," he told Benzinga in an exclusive email interview.

Many parents have the lofty goal to cover the full cost of their children's college education.
A record share of parents in the US — 41% — plan to pony up for their kids' entire higher education bill, up from 37% in 2024, according to new research from Fidelity Investments.
That's great news for the kids. But it's rarely a wise move for their parents.
"Unless parents have fully funded their retirement — meaning that they have already saved all of the money they will need — footing the entire bill for children' s education is rarely the best move and can be detrimental to parents' own future," Liz Windisch, a wealth adviser in Denver, told Yahoo Finance.
The motivation is genuine. Nearly 9 in 10 parents say their own student debt motivates them to help their kids, and more than half say having to pay off their loans delayed them from starting to save for retirement.

MD Sass, a boutique ****** et management firm, published its second-quarter investor update for its flagship, the "MD Sass Concentrated Value Strategy." The letter can be downloaded here. In the first half of 2026, AI infrastructure stocks led the market, with the Russell 1000 Value increasing by 16.3%, outpacing the S&P 500 (10.2%) and Russell 1000 Growth (5.3%). This growth was fueled by semiconductor, memory, and hardware companies benefiting from AI development, even though they are considered cyclical. These sectors, representing only 7.7% of the Russell 1000 Value at the start of the year, contributed nearly 70% of its returns. The portfolio gained 10.0% in the second quarter, net of fees, compared to 13.9% for the Russell 1000 Value Index. Year-to-date, the strategy returned 6.6%, net of fees, versus 16.3% for the Index. The portfolio faced challenges due to limited exposure to companies with the greatest upside from AI infrastructure investments. It also lacked exposure to the Energy sector, which returned about 20% in the first half amid geopolitical tensions with Iran that increased commodity prices, affecting performance. The firm recognizes the importance of adapting its strategies while maintaining core investment principles as it explores future opportunities in emerging technological themes. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.

When Federal Reserve officials gather in Jackson Hole in two weeks, they will confront a decisive moment for the US economy. While stubborn inflation plagued the first half of the year, last month's cooling prices raise a critical question: Can the central bank afford to hold interest rates steady in September, or are these early signs of inflation relief just a head fake?
All eyes will be on Chairman Kevin Warsh's speech — his first as Fed chair — to see whether he addresses the economic outlook, inflation, and monetary policy. Fed chairs have historically used the Jackson Hole forum to set the table for upcoming September policy actions or announce major structural shifts.
The speech arrives at a time of deep market anxiety. Confusion and concern have been swirling on Wall Street and in bond markets about whether the central bank possesses a credible strategy to bring down inflation. After the Fed's July 29 meeting, calls for the central bank to act reached a fever pitch as bond yields soared and markets aggressively priced in more than two interest rate hikes.
"This is a fairly tense moment, it seems to me, that's developing in September," Dennis Lockhart, former president of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, said in an interview. "You've got the economic situation, which is fraught with uncertainty and ambiguity; you've got the market reaction to the July press conference, a fractured committee, and lots of questions about Warsh and his early performance."
At his press conference, Warsh repeatedly deflected questions about why the Fed wasn't raising rates, pointing to the bond yields that had shot materially higher since the previous meeting. He suggested it was a good thing and implied that the Fed welcomes the higher yields as a way to raise borrowing costs and tighten policy through markets.

All eyes will be on Chairman Kevin Warsh's speech — his first as Fed chair — to see whether he addresses the economic outlook, inflation, and monetary policy. Fed chairs have historically used the Jackson Hole forum to set the table for upcoming September policy actions or announce major structural shifts.
The speech arrives at a time of deep market anxiety. Confusion and concern have been swirling on Wall Street and in bond markets about whether the central bank possesses a credible strategy to bring down inflation. After the Fed's July 29 meeting, calls for the central bank to act reached a fever pitch as bond yields soared and markets aggressively priced in more than two interest rate hikes.
"This is a fairly tense moment, it seems to me, that's developing in September," Dennis Lockhart, former president of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, said in an interview. "You've got the economic situation, which is fraught with uncertainty and ambiguity; you've got the market reaction to the July press conference, a fractured committee, and lots of questions about Warsh and his early performance."
At his press conference, Warsh repeatedly deflected questions about why the Fed wasn't raising rates, pointing to the bond yields that had shot materially higher since the previous meeting. He suggested it was a good thing and implied that the Fed welcomes the higher yields as a way to raise borrowing costs and tighten policy through markets. That led to confusion in markets and caused some loss of confidence in whether there's a credible strategy to bring down inflation.

The Trucking ***** ociation Executives Council (TAEC) says a year of coordinated federal and state enforcement has resulted in sweeping changes to cross-border trucking, commercial driver licensing and highway safety.
In its "Trucking Resurgence: The Fight for Fairness and Safety Progress Report," released July 23, the organization said actions by federal and state authorities and law enforcement agencies have significantly strengthened oversight of cross-border trucking operations and commercial driver qualifications.
TAEC represents executives from state trucking ***** ociations across the country, including Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Iowa, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Texas.
The report builds on the group's "Trucking Resurgence" action plan released in 2025 calling for tougher enforcement against what it describes as bad actors exploiting weaknesses in trucking regulations.
Among the report's biggest areas of progress is what TAEC calls "Cross-Border Workforce Integrity."

With more than half of 2026 in the books, it's shaping up to be another stellar year for the stock market. Since early June, the ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), broad-based S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and growth-stock-fueled Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) have all powered to record highs.
However, Wall Street's major stock indexes don't always paint a complete picture of what's going on behind the scenes. While several catalysts lie in wait to upend a historically expensive stock market, few if any are drawing as much attention as inflation.

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, who officially succeeded Jerome Powell on May 22 as head of the central bank, is being challenged out of the starting gate. In May, trailing 12-month (TTM) U.S. inflation reached a three-year high of 4.2%, prompting questions of whether Warsh and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) -- the 12-person body responsible for setting the nation's monetary policy -- will raise interest rates.
Though no one ever said that overseeing monetary policy for the world's largest economy would be easy, Warsh has ascended into a veritable no-win scenario, courtesy of President Donald Trump.
