Description: BRK-B Berkshire Hathaway February 28, 2026

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK-B) operates a sprawling portfolio that spans insurance (property, casualty, life, health, reinsurance), North American freight rail (BNSF), and a diversified utility segment (electric generation, transmission, natural-gas pipelines, and renewable assets). Beyond these core businesses, the conglomerate owns a wide array of manufacturing and consumer brands-including confectionery, specialty chemicals, construction materials, apparel, and retail-plus a suite of financial services and aviation-related operations.

In its most recent quarter (Q2 2024), Berkshire reported net earnings of $13.7 billion and held cash and cash equivalents of roughly $140 billion, undersc., a robust insurance float that continues to generate low-cost capital. BNSF’s freight volumes rose 4% YoY, driven by sustained demand in e-commerce and infrastructure spending, while the utility segment posted a 2% increase in operating earnings as renewable-energy capacity (wind + solar) expanded 12% year-over-year. Key macro drivers include higher interest rates that enhance insurance float returns, a tight labor market supporting freight rates, and the ongoing transition toward greener power generation.
