Stocks with no dividends have some probability of paying a dividend (or doing a buyback) in the future. If you could prove that a company will never pay a dividend or do a buyback then its value would be zero.

What about Berkshire Hathaway? They said they wouldn't pay dividends.

You don’t know they never will forever. Buffet will die someday and his successor might decide to pay a dividend.

this is turning to a very insane argument.. So if Buffet signs a iron clad legal contract that says no dividends ever for the duration of his company, it means the stock is worth 0?

If such a thing were possible, then yes, it would.
