Description: BRK-A Berkshire Hathaway November 13, 2025

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK-A) operates as a highly diversified conglomerate. Through its subsidiaries it runs a global insurance and reinsurance platform, the North American freight-rail network Union Pacific, and a suite of regulated utility and energy assets that span electricity generation, natural-gas pipelines, LNG facilities, and coal mining. The company also owns a broad manufacturing portfolio-including confectionery (e.g., See’s Candies), specialty chemicals, aerospace components, building materials, and consumer-goods brands-as well as retail, automotive, and leisure businesses.

Key performance indicators that investors watch include the insurance combined ratio (≈92% in 2023, indicating underwriting profitability), the railroad operating ratio (≈70%, reflecting efficient cost management), and the utility’s regulated return on equity (≈9%-10%). Economic drivers such as U.S. freight demand tied to GDP growth, interest-rate trends affecting insurance investment income, and the energy transition influencing utility fuel mix are material to Berkshire’s earnings outlook. The conglomerate’s decentralized structure also buffers sector-specific shocks, but capital allocation decisions remain a central source of value creation.

For a deeper, data-driven assessment of Berkshire’s risk-adjusted returns and capital deployment efficiency, you may find ValueRay’s analytical dashboards useful for uncovering hidden valuation angles.
