Berkshire Hathaway is not a company to bet against after a strong Q2. Investment gains nearly tripled year over year, from $6.36B to $16B, net income more than doubled, and buybacks jumped from under $300M last quarter to $4.5B. x.com x.comÂ
Berkshire Hathaway will be remembered as a dinosaur because the age of value investing is gone. By the end of 2027, 20 other companies will be bigger than Berkshire. Per Kalshi, it now holds more cash than at any point in its history. x.comÂ
