Overview

  • Berkshire restarted share repurchases on March 4, its first buybacks since May 2024, according to an SEC filing.
  • CEO Greg Abel purchased 21 Class A shares for about $14.6 million on the same day, lifting his holdings to 249 Class A shares worth roughly $187 million.
  • The company ended 2025 with $373.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury bills, and generated $46 billion in operating cash flow with $44.5 billion in operating earnings.
  • Berkshire’s annual report bars repurchases that would reduce consolidated cash, cash equivalents and Treasury bill holdings below $30 billion.
  • Legal and credit risks persist at utility PacifiCorp, which agreed in February to a $575 million U.S. government settlement over wildfire damages as S&P Global warned wildfire costs could push its rating to junk.
