Due to market speculation$Ally Financial (ALLY.US)$It will become an acquisition target for “stock god” Buffett. The stock rose nearly 11% intraday on Monday, and finally closed up 5.43% to 23.50 US dollars.
Investment research firm Gordon Haskett said in a report on Monday that Ally Financial may be a potential acquisition target for Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A.US). Earlier, it was reported that Buffett has been in contact with senior officials in the Biden administration about the regional banking crisis in recent days. The talks involved Buffett's possible investment in regional banks in the US. Gordon Haskett speculates that if Buffett helps out in the current regional banking crisis and makes a deal, he may continue to buy shares of companies he already owns.
According to the data, as of the end of December last year, Berkshire Hathaway held 29.8 million shares of Ally Financial, accounting for 9.9% of the company's shares, and was its second largest shareholder.
