Description: BRK-B Berkshire Hathaway September 24, 2025

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK-B) is a conglomerate that combines three core operating platforms – insurance/reinsurance, North-American freight rail (BNSF Railway), and regulated utilities – with a sprawling portfolio of manufacturing, retail, and services businesses ranging from confectionery to aerospace components.

Key financial levers: the insurance segment’s profitability is measured by the combined ratio (target < 95 %); BNSF’s operating ratio has hovered around 60 % in recent quarters, indicating strong cost efficiency; and the utility segment’s regulated return on equity typically tracks 9-10 % in the U.S. market. As of the latest filing, Berkshire generated roughly $30 billion of operating cash flow, providing a large “float” that can be redeployed into opportunistic investments.

Macro-driven sensitivities: (1) Interest-rate movements directly affect the insurance float and investment income; (2) U.S. freight demand, closely linked to GDP growth and e-commerce volumes, drives BNSF’s revenue; and (3) Energy-transition policies influence the utility mix (e.g., wind/solar capacity additions) and the valuation of coal-related assets.

Beyond the three pillars, Berkshire owns a diversified set of businesses-including confectionery (e.g., See’s Candies), specialty chemicals, building products, and consumer retail brands-that collectively contribute roughly 10-15 % of consolidated earnings, providing a buffer against sector-specific shocks.

Investors should monitor the sustainability of BNSF’s operating ratio amid rising labor costs, the impact of regulatory rate cases on utility earnings, and the evolution of the insurance combined ratio as claim severity changes post-pandemic.
