BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC
Next earnings Jul 31, 2026 · consensus $7486.77 EPS, $95.4B rev
Last earnings +1.1% on 2026-05-07
Fortress balance sheet and high-quality businesses, but flat revenue, a modest 9.3% ROE and full price make it own-don't-chase.
Revenue $247B · FY2025
Berkshire is exactly what the 10-K describes: a decentralized holding company spanning insurance, BNSF rail, Berkshire Hathaway Energy utilities, and a wide group of manufacturing, services and retailing businesses (~387,800 employees), run with capital allocation concentrated in the CEO. The balance sheet is a fortress — $717B of stockholders' equity (+10.5%), liabilities/equity of just 0.70x, $763B of retained earnings, $52.6B of cash, a clean Deloitte audit and internal controls judged effective as of 12/31/2025. Operating cash flow jumped 50.3% to $46.0B. This is a durable, well-financed compounder, not a balance-sheet risk.
The scary-looking headline — net income down 24.8% to $67.0B — is largely optical. The five-year history (net income of -$22.8B in 2022, $96.2B in 2023, $89.0B in 2024, $67.0B in 2025) reflects GAAP mark-to-market on the equity portfolio, not operational decay. Revenue has held in a tight ~$247B–$255B band for three years (FY2025 -1.0%), and net margin is still 27.1%. The underlying businesses are steady; reported profit is just noisy.
