The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I get about $11.44/B-share for the partially owned businesses as of 10.30/24, as follows:

KHC: 325,634,818 shares @ $35.11/share = $12.837B
Deferred tax on capital gains = $0

OXY: 255,281,52 shares @ $51.54/share = $12.157B, minus deferred tax on unrealized capital
Estimated cost basis, per whalewisdom.com, = $50.3968/share
At 21% tax rate, deferred tax = $0.332B
Total value of OXY shares after deferred taxes = $11.825B.
OXY warrants and preferred stock of $10B are included in "investments in equity securities."

Total value of KHC plus OXY holdings, not including warrants and preferred stock, = $24.66B, or $11.44/B-share
