20 Stocks That Have Remained Popular Solely on Merit—Day 126 (Noon)

On Wednesday, October 21, the ChiNext Index fell by 1%. Amid broad weakness, the data-element theme bucked the trend and gained strength. The market surged early in the morning but subsequently retreated; all three major indices turned negative. Trading volume increased by RMB 580 million compared to the previous day. The battery sector weakened notably, with CATL plunging over 10%. Of my five holdings today, performance was unremarkable: ST-Kaili and Hainan Rubber underperformed, so I exited both positions entirely; the others remain unchanged for now—I’ll reassess this afternoon. Earlier today, I entered one ST-listed stock. Yuewei Food: Delisting of its ST designation; resolution of historical negative catalysts; company repurchased and canceled shares, helping stabilize market expectations; strongest supply chain in the ready-to-eat poultry industry, conferring scale-based pricing power; falling duck prices, unlocking profit elasticity; strategic shift—from store expansion to enhancing per-store value; room for recovery in its franchise system advantages.

Berkshire Hathaway’s Stock Hits All-Time High as Market Moves Past Buffett’s Retirement Shadow

Berkshire Hathaway’s share price hit a new all-time high on Wednesday, signaling that market confidence in the company has gradually moved beyond the shadow cast by Warren Buffett’s retirement—and shifted toward endorsement of his successors’ leadership capabilities. Berkshire’s Class B shares surpassed their prior record high set on May 2, 2025. On May 3, 2025, Buffett surprised investors, supporters, and even his own successors by announcing he would step down as CEO after nearly six decades at the helm. Following that announcement, Berkshire’s stock declined for several consecutive months, reflecting investor concerns that Buffett’s departure might impair the performance of this diversified conglomerate. As of press time, Berkshire’s Class B shares rose 0.5% to USD 542.60 on Wednesday. This rebound also bolsters Greg Abel—the designated successor—who officially assumes the top role in less than a year. Already, Abel has begun taking action and gradually demonstrating his distinct management style.
