The U.S. stock market saw an impressive surge in late 2023, with the S&P 500 ending the year with a stellar gain of 24.2%. This upward trend continued in early 2024, and the S&P 500 already achieved nine record closing highs in 2024.

The main attraction of British American Tobacco (NYSE: BTI) is the stock's huge 9.7% dividend yield. That's a shockingly high number for a consumer staples maker. It's understandable that income investors would find the yield attractive -- or at least attractive enough to dig into the cigarette maker's backstory. Here's the thing -- in a year, the story won't change all that much.

Or you could buy shares of Berkshire Hathaway. Berkshire Hathaway is a holding company, and it has a different mandate than the typical individual investor.

That doesn't mean they're always correct, but it does suggest that there's a lot to learn from understanding their estimates and thinking about how they're made. On that note, per their consensus estimate, analysts are anticipating that two biotech stocks in particular could more than double their current value within the next 12 months.
