Berkshire Hathaway ramps up investments and buybacks under CEO Greg Abel in Q2

Berkshire Hathaway, led by CEO Greg Abel, adopted a more active investment approach in Q2, adding significantly to Alphabet and Delta, announcing a $6.8 billion acquisition of Taylor Morrison, and executing $4.4 billion in share buybacks. Operational improvements continued across its insurance, BNSF railroad, and Berkshire Hathaway Energy units. The company's valuation now shows a 12.7% premium over its market price, supporting a Buy rating due to stronger earnings potential and attractive entry points after recent price pullbacks.
