Buffett's 2016 Precision Castparts buy now valued near $100B amid aerospace demand surge

Warren Buffett's 2016 acquisition of Precision Castparts, initially seen as overpriced and written down by $11 billion, is now gaining value due to a surge in demand for its complex metal components used in aerospace and energy sectors. GE Aerospace's recent $11.75 billion purchase of a competitor highlights the rising market value of these products, with estimates placing Precision Castparts' worth around $100 billion, nearly triple its original price. Despite this, Berkshire Hathaway's stock hasn't fully reflected this subsidiary's rising value, partly due to limited investor communication. Meanwhile, Berkshire's shares slightly outperformed the market this week amid broader declines, and a Nebraska political ad controversy involving Warren Buffett's image was resolved with the ad's replacement.
