  • Warren Buffett-Inspired Strategy: Buying Discounted ASX Shares
    May 22, 2026, 9:18 PM EDT. Warren Buffett's approach of buying in times of fear is relevant for ASX investors amid risks like higher interest rates, weaker consumer spending, geopolitical uncertainty, and earnings doubts. Key opportunities lie in quality sectors like healthcare, where shares such as CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL) and ResMed Inc. (ASX: RMD) trade at lows despite strong fundamentals. CSL's global plasma and vaccine businesses and ResMed's recurring revenue from sleep apnoea treatments stand out. Fallen growth stocks like WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC) offer long-term potential due to embedded logistics software. Some consumer-facing companies including Harvey Norman Holdings Ltd (ASX: HVN) and Accent Group Ltd (ASX: AX1) could recover as spending stabilizes. Investors are advised to be selective and consider these discounted opportunities for longer-term gains.
