Legendary billionaire investor and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. CEO Warren Buffett believes that value investing still holds significant opportunities despite the market's changing landscape. During Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholders’ meeting, Buffett expressed optimism about the future of value investing, citing the prevalence of "other people doing dumb things" as a key driver of these opportunities.

"What gives you opportunities is other people doing dumb things," Buffett said. "During the 58 years we've been running Berkshire, I would say there's been a great increase in the number of people doing dumb things — and they do big dumb things. And the reason they do it, to some extent, is because they can get money from other people so much easier than when we started."

Despite these trends, Buffett remains confident that value investing isn't going anywhere.

While acknowledging the impact of disruptive technological innovation on the market, Buffett dismissed the notion that it hampers value investing opportunities. He asserted that new developments do not take away opportunities. Instead, it is the poor decisions of others that create openings for astute investors.

While the avenues for finding undervalued companies may have transformed over time, the fundamental principle remains intact — identifying opportunities where others have faltered.

Buffett's investment philosophy revolves around seeking out stocks or businesses available at bargain prices. His success as a value investor has made him one of the most respected figures in the financial world. Berkshire Hathaway, under his guidance, has acquired significant stakes in renowned companies such as Apple Inc. and Bank of America Corp., while also owning businesses in diverse sectors like railroads, energy and insurance.
