Description: BRK-A Berkshire Hathaway January 16, 2026

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK-A) operates a highly diversified portfolio that spans insurance (property, casualty, life, accident, health, and reinsurance), North American freight rail, and a broad utility segment that generates and distributes electricity from multiple sources (natural gas, coal, wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, geothermal). The conglomerate also holds substantial interests in energy infrastructure (natural-gas pipelines, LNG facilities, storage), coal mining, and a wide array of manufacturing and consumer businesses ranging from confectionery and specialty chemicals to home construction, apparel, and retail.

Key quantitative drivers include: (1) the insurance segment’s combined ratio of ~94% in 2023, indicating underwriting profitability; (2) BNSF Railway’s reported operating ratio of 60.5%, reflecting efficient freight operations; and (3) the utility segment’s regulated return on equity of roughly 10%, providing stable cash flow. Economic sensitivities are tied to interest-rate trends (which affect insurance float earnings), freight demand linked to U.S. GDP growth, and the energy transition that pressures coal assets while boosting renewable generation capacity.
