Nov 4 close
Berkshire Hathaway shares touched a 52-week high this week after the company added nearly a million more Sirius XM shares at prices above what it paid last year, a move that has drawn attention to what the recent earnings period may have revealed about that holding. Coverage also points to Greg Abel's continued stewardship since succeeding Warren Buffett as CEO, with mentions of long-held positions such as Coca-Cola, which is set to contribute $848 million in dividends to Berkshire in 2026, and broader commentary on new stock picks added under Abel. Class A and Class B shares both pushed to new highs amid investor interest in diversified businesses.
The stock closed at $869,301.00, up 4% on the day, sitting above both its 50-day average of $778,667.89 and its 200-day average of $745,321.91, with the 50-day above the 200-day. The GekkoIndex reading stands at 37.1, placing the stock in the Distribution zone. Price sits 10.1% above Gekko Fair Value of $789,274.00, a gap exceeding the 5% threshold Gekko flags as notable.
