Foolish take

Graphene joins Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway in adding shares of Nucor to its portfolio. Berkshire recently announced it built a 3% position in Nucor in the first six months of 2025. Berkshire's addition appears to be a bet on a U.S. housing recovery. If that materializes, Nucor stock could be a big winner.
