Berkshire Hathaway posts strong Q2 with 15.2% revenue growth and active capital moves under Greg Abel

Berkshire Hathaway reported a strong second quarter with manufacturing revenues up 15.2% and pre-tax earnings growing 25.8%, driven by organic and acquisition growth in units like Precision Castparts and OxyChem. Under CEO Greg Abel, the company has been active in capital allocation, including significant purchases of Alphabet shares, acquiring Taylor Morrison, and $4.5 billion in share buybacks, all done with a disciplined value approach. The analyst rates the stock a cautious Buy, recommending gradual accumulation as the stock trades near its five-year price-to-book average and management remains prudent.
