Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Berkshire Hathaway is currently trading at approximately seven hundred forty
eight thousand, three hundred twenty United States dollars per share,
a week over week gain of about four and one
half percent. The trading range for this month is projected
between seven hundred twenty seven thousand, nine hundred eighty four
and seven hundred eighty seven thousand, forty three United States dollars,

(00:20):
with analysts generally holding a bullish sentiment and expecting modest
games in the short term. Today's trading volume is in
line with typical levels, signaling study undramatic investor interest for
such a large and high value equity. For perspective, the
company's market capitalization is now around one trillion, eighty billion
United States dollars. The latest headlines surround the performance of

(00:43):
Birkshire Hathaway after Warren Buffett's recent announcement that he is
stepping back from certain day to day activities. While there
has been some investor anxiety about a post Buffet era,
most coverage suggests that the company's exceptionally diversified business model
remains robust and compelling. Berkshire Hathaway recently reported a thirty

(01:05):
four percent increase in operating income for the third quarter
of this year, reflecting strength in its core insurance, railroad, energy,
and manufacturing businesses. Nevertheless, the company stock has lagged behind
the Broader Standard and Poor's five hundred index for the
year to date, showing gains of around six percent versus
more than sixteen percent for the index itself. This under

(01:28):
performance has caught analysts attention, but the company's long term
fundamentals are considered sound. On the analysts front, the consensus
twelve month price target is roughly seven hundred sixty seven
thousand United States dollars, representing an expected upside of about
two and a half percent. Several analysts note that the
current price remains below most estimates of fair value and

(01:50):
significantly below the company's projected future cash flows. This could
indicate lingering concerns about leadership, transition and economic headwinds, but
also signals the potential for upward correction. There had been
no major down grades, and most analyst commentary maintains a
hold or moderate by rating. Overall, Berkshire Hathaway is seen

(02:13):
as a steady but currently under performing pillar of American capitalism,
with a promising future but a modicum of near term
uncertainty given its monumental leadership, transition, and broader market trends.
