Berkshire Hathaway is well-positioned to benefit from rising interest rates, holding $324.9 billion in Treasury bills that will reprice higher, alongside a $177.5 billion insurance float that funds its growth. Despite concerns about succession, Greg Abel has driven 16–18% year-over-year operating earnings growth, resumed share buybacks, and made Berkshire a net buyer of equities. Its energy unit, Berkshire Hathaway Energy (BHE), with $148.3 billion in assets and significant contracted data center demand, remains an overlooked growth engine that reinvests all earnings. Trading at 1.46 times book value and showing modest stock price gains, Berkshire trades below its intrinsic value despite strong earnings growth and capital deployment.
As of September 20, 2026, 20:41 WIB, Berkshire Hathaway's Class B shares trade at USD 509.49 on Pluang, close to their 52-week high of USD 529.65 and well above the 52-week low of USD 465.39. The stock shows a modest 1-day gain of 0.09%, reflecting steady investor interest with 100% buy orders on the platform. This trading range highlights the market's recognition of Berkshire's strong earnings growth and capital deployment despite concerns about leadership succession.
