Berkshire Hathaway has been upgraded to a Strong Buy rating due to its evolving strategy under CEO Greg Abel. Abel is leveraging the company's $373.3 billion cash reserves through aggressive capital returns, including resumed share buybacks and personal stock purchases, which are expected to boost earnings per share and tangible book value. Key growth drivers include a yen spread trade with Tokio Marine, labor-driven free cash flow expansion at BNSF, and Berkshire's unique role as a lender of last resort.
