Interpretive context generated from the platform’s current data sources.
Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares trade at $815,600, reflecting the company's position as one of the highest-priced stocks in the market. Per SID market data, the conglomerate carries a market capitalization of approximately $1.07 trillion, firmly placing it among the most valuable publicly traded companies globally. The stock exhibits a beta of 0.703, indicating materially lower volatility than the broader market, consistent with Berkshire's diversified portfolio of insurance, railroad, energy, and consumer businesses. Average daily volume stands at approximately 388 shares, per Massive/Polygon data, which is characteristic of ultra-high-priced Class A shares where institutional and long-term holders dominate the shareholder base. The relatively low trading volume underscores the buy-and-hold nature of Berkshire's investor base. The company pays no dividend, with capital allocation historically directed toward share repurchases and acquisitions at management's discretion.
Berkshire Hathaway trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 15.86, per SID market data, which remains moderate relative to the broader Financial Services sector and the S&P 500's historical average. The company's price-to-book ratio stands at 1.53, a metric closely watched by investors given Warren Buffett's historical emphasis on book value as a measure of intrinsic worth. According to SEC filings, the PEG ratio of 2.20 suggests the stock's valuation is elevated relative to its earnings growth trajectory, though this metric can be less meaningful for diversified conglomerates with lumpy investment gains. Berkshire pays no dividend, maintaining a 0% yield, as management has consistently opted for capital redeployment over shareholder distributions. The company's massive cash reserves, accumulated from its insurance float and operating subsidiaries, remain a distinctive feature of its balance sheet and valuation framework within the financial services landscape.
Berkshire Hathaway's composite smart money score registers at 46 out of 100, reflecting a neutral overall signal, per SID market data. Breaking down the components, insider activity scores 12.5 out of 25, indicating limited but unremarkable insider transaction patterns according to SEC Form 4 filings. Institutional positioning scores 13.0 out of 25, suggesting moderate institutional engagement without significant accumulation or distribution trends evident in recent 13F institutional filings. The dark pool activity score of 8.5 out of 25 reflects relatively subdued off-exchange trading activity, which aligns with the low average daily volume of approximately 388 shares for the Class A shares. Congressional trading activity scores 12 out of 25, indicating neutral legislative-member interest in the stock. The overall neutral reading suggests that sophisticated market participants are neither aggressively building nor reducing positions in Berkshire Hathaway at current price levels, maintaining a wait-and-see posture amid prevailing market conditions.
Berkshire Hathaway has delivered a mixed but predominantly positive earnings trajectory over the past four quarters, according to company earnings reports. The most recent quarter ending September 2025 showed earnings per share of $9,376.15, surpassing analyst estimates of $8,945.84 by $430.31, representing a solid beat. The December 2024 quarter was particularly notable, with actual EPS of $10,102.07 exceeding the consensus estimate of $7,074.28 by $3,027.79, a substantial upside surprise of approximately 42.8%. However, the March 2025 quarter saw a miss, with reported EPS of $6,703.41 falling short of the $7,430.29 estimate by $726.87. The June 2025 quarter produced a narrow beat with EPS of $7,759.58 versus the $7,744.82 estimate. The quarterly earnings volatility is characteristic of Berkshire's reporting, which includes significant fluctuations from unrealized investment gains and losses under GAAP accounting standards.
Wall Street coverage of Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares reflects a limited but notable analyst consensus, per SID consensus data. The most recent available ratings come from Morgan Stanley and UBS, two major bulge-bracket firms. Morgan Stanley has maintained an Equal-Weight rating on Berkshire across multiple updates, including ratings issued in August 2020, May 2020, and April 2020, according to Wall Street analyst reports, signaling a consistent view that the stock is fairly valued relative to peers. UBS has taken a more constructive stance, issuing Buy ratings in both May 2020 and April 2020, reflecting a more positive outlook on Berkshire's intrinsic value and long-term compounding potential. The relatively sparse analyst coverage compared to other trillion-dollar companies is characteristic of Berkshire, as the conglomerate's unique structure, absence of quarterly earnings guidance, and complex multi-segment operations make traditional equity research modeling particularly challenging for sell-side analysts.
