3 No-Brainer Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy for 2022

A quick look at the top 10 stocks that legendary investor Warren Buffett owns through his company, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B), reveals that seven of them gained at least 25% in 2021, five at least 35%, and the top performer almost 48%, as of this writing. The S&P 500 index, in comparison, is up 27% so far this year. While Berkshire owns a large number of stocks and not just these 10, these numbers show why so many investors follow Buffett's stock-picking style, or often simply buy the stocks he does.

I don't quite recommend putting your money in a stock just because Buffett has, but Berkshire's portfolio is an excellent hunting ground if you're looking for stock ideas. Here are three Buffett stocks that I think are no-brainer buys before the year ends.

Visa (NYSE: V) shares have hugely disappointed in the second half of 2021, partly because of its ongoing feud with Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and renewed fears of COVID-19 shutdowns that could hit consumer spending. While the latter is a risk that's not going to affect Visa alone, the company is eager to resolve issues with Amazon, and that could just be one of the big triggers for Visa stock in 2022.
