Episode Transcript
Berkshire Hathaway's Class A shares, traded under the symbol b RKA,
currently stand at around seven hundred forty thousand, nine hundred
forty six United States dollars, reflecting modest gains in recent
sessions and a year to date increase of just over
six percent. This price point is slightly below the company's
fifty two week high of eight hundred and twelve thousand,
(00:22):
eight hundred and fifty five United States dollars, but well
above its recent low of six hundred and fifty seven thousand,
four hundred ninety seven United States dollars, demonstrating resilience even
as broader markets face elevated valuations. Trading volume for BRKA
remains exceptionally low, with just two hundred ninety one shares
changing hands in the most recent session, a stark contrast
(00:45):
to the far more liquid Class B shares. This low
volume is typical for the A shares, which are intentionally
priced at a level that discourages frequent trading and appeals
primarily to long term large scale investors. Berkshire Halfaway's market
cap capitalization now exceeds one trillion United States dollars, underpinned
by robust revenues nearing three hundred and seventy billion United
(01:08):
States dollars and net income above sixty billion United States
dollars over the past year. The company's diverse portfolio, spanning insurance, railroads, utilities,
and a vast collection of wholly owned subsidiaries, continues to
deliver steady cash flows. Notably, Berkshire recently announced the acquisition
of Oxycam for nine point seven billion United States dollars,
(01:32):
a move highlighting Warren Buffett's ongoing commitment to value investing,
buying high quality assets at reasonable prices, even in what
many consider an overpriced market. This acquisition is seen as
a masterstroke by some commentators, reinforcing Berksher's reputation for prudent
capital allocation. Analyst sentiment on Brka remains broadly positive. The
(01:57):
average price target from a small group of analysts is
approximately eight hundred thirty five thousand, one hundred twenty three
United States dollars, suggesting upside potential of about thirteen per
cent from current levels. The stock's valuation metrics, including a
price to earnings ratio near seventeen and a price to
(02:17):
book ratio around one point six, are in line with
or slightly below historical averages for the company, indicating neither
significant overvaluation nor a clear bargain. However, technical analysis presents
a mixed picture. Some models rate the stock a cell
based on short term moving averages, while longer term indicators
(02:40):
remain broadly supportive. Volatility is low, and liquidity while thin,
is consistent with the stock's design as a buy and
hold instrument. In summary, Berkshire Hathaway's A shares continue to
reflect the company's underlying strength, discipline, management, and unique position
in the market. The recent Oxychom deal adds to a
(03:02):
long track record of strategic acquisitions, and while trading volume
is minimal and technical signals are mixed, the fundamental case
for b r K, A bolstered by a trillion dollar
balance sheet and a portfolio built for the long haul,
remains compelling for patient investors.
