Hot Warren Buffett Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Back in late May, MidAmerican Energy, a subsidiary of Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B  ) , made a $5.59 billion offer to buy NV Energy (NYSE: NVE  ) . On the surface, this seems like the prototypical Warren Buffett kind of acquisition. If you dig deeper, though, there is one lesser known area that could make this purchase an even bigger win. Let's take a look at the move and what small element could make this a big win for the Oracle of Omaha.

For Berkshire, boring is beautiful
It can be really hard to get excited about regulated utilities. An industry that has its profit levels regulated by the state doesn't exactly get the heart racing. But these boring, mostly overlooked businesses are right in Warren Buffett's wheelhouse. It's hard to find a larger economic moat than a state-regulated monopoly like NV Energy, which delivers power to 88% of Nevada's population, including those living in America's ode to electricity, Las Vegas.�

From a pure numbers standpoint, the acquisition of NV Energy will give the Buffett portfolio about a 25% boost in income to its energy and utility sector. The move will also help to create a much larger exposure to natural gas than in Berkshire's current holdings. Currently, Buffett's utilities generate about 48% of its power from coal and 22% from natural gas. If the NV deal were to go through, it would then generate 42% from coal and 37% from natural gas. This could prove very advantageous if increased regulations on carbon emissions were to pop up in the utility sector in the coming years.�
