There are some great ASX shares to buy for Warren Buffett-like value investors right now. The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is down 13.60% this year and is going from bear to bull on an almost daily basis.

That volatility and market noise is good for experienced investors. Here are a few ASX shares I think even the ‘Oracle from Omaha’ couldn’t ignore at today’s prices.

3 ASX shares even Warren Buffett couldn’t ignore

There’s no doubt Buffett is one of the world’s greatest ever investors. He keeps things simple, looks for strong earnings potential and creates value through ownership.

Now, if you’re a Fool with $5,000, you won’t be able to effect great strategic change today. But what you can do is invest in undervalued ASX shares with strong earnings potential.

I like the look of CSL Limited (ASX: CSL) right now. CSL is a leading biotech group with a $130.77 billion market capitalisation. With a strong research and development pipeline, and after falling 6.38% lower in yesterday’s trade, CSL shares could be in the buy zone.

Another ASX share worth a look today is Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES). Wesfarmers is a diversified conglomerate that is sitting on a big pile of cash after selling a $1.1 billion stake in Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL).

Wesfarmers is in a strong financial position and is looking to restructure its underperforming Kmart Group segment. That could be good news for investors like Warren Buffett who like to see efficiency and strong cash flow.

Finally, I like National Australia Bank Ltd. (ASX: NAB) shares right now. NAB shares are down 23.3% this year, at the time of writing, but could bounce back as we begin to recover from the coronavirus-led economic fallout.  

Despite some regulatory headwinds and intensifying competition, I think NAB will continue to churn out dividends for shareholders in years to come.

Foolish takeaway

These are just a few of the ASX shares that could be undervalued right now. Warren Buffett has proven to be a patient investor who isn’t afraid to sit and wait for the right opportunity.

There are plenty of things to look out for with top ASX growth shares.

What are the profit margins going to look like in a few years? How good are the management? Is the balance sheet strong enough? How good are the competition? I think these are all important factors. Another thing you should think about at the moment: how will the coronavirus affect the business?

But I believe there’s one key factor you shouldn’t forget about with top ASX growth shares:

Does the top ASX growth share offer international growth?

I think that international growth is very important for generating excellent long-term returns.

At some point a business will stop growing. How long is that growth runway? Australia is a wealthy country that can support sizeable businesses, particularly if they’re the market leader in that industry like Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW) or InvoCare Limited (ASX: IVC). 

But that top ASX growth share will hit a ceiling if it’s only servicing a region/country with 25 million people. If you are able to sell your product or service to extra countries then the company will have much more growth potential. New Zealand is usually the natural first choice because it’s a similar market to Australia. Plenty of shares on the ASX have done this.

What are some examples?

Look at how much growth A2 Milk Company Ltd (ASX: A2M) has unlocked because of Asia and the USA. Bubs Australia Ltd (ASX: BUB) is another that I’ve got my eyes on for international growth. Pushpay Holdings Ltd (ASX: PPH) is winning in the huge US market.

Tech shares like Xero Limited (ASX: XRO), Afterpay Ltd (ASX: APT) and WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC) are partially valued so highly because they are expanding globally.

But beware. Sometimes international growth can be a poisoned chalice. Not every top ASX growth share will be successful at expanding overseas. Look what happened when Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES) tried to take Bunnings to the UK.

I’m very interested in Bubs and Pushpay because of the large markets they’re trying to win in.
