The GekkoIndex reads 53.6, placing it in the Neutral zone, while the price sits 2.3% below Gekko Fair Value of $521.95.

Coverage this week centers on Warren Buffett stepping down as Berkshire's chairman after decades at the company, with his son Howard Buffett taking the chairman role while Greg Abel continues as CEO. The transition has prompted broader commentary on Berkshire's structure, including its energy holdings and comparisons to other insurers such as Markel, as well as discussion of the stock relative to index funds and its historical behavior during downturns.
Berkshire's next earnings report is scheduled for 7 November 2026, 48 days out and beyond a typical 20-trading-day holding window. Over the last 90 days, smart-money activity includes one open-market insider purchase valued at $205,008 and five Congressional buys with no sales. Five billionaire holders and one trailblazer holder are noted in current positioning. Seasonally, the next 20 trading days have averaged a -0.5% return over 5 years, with gains in 2 of those years, a factor worth noting alongside the current fair-value gap.

About Berkshire Hathaway
Berkshire Hathaway sits atop a sprawling collection of companies rather than a single line of business. Its main activities center on insurance, freight rail and utilities, with insurance coverage stretching across property, casualty, life, accident and health lines, and its railway holdings moving freight throughout North America. The firm is most recognized for holding such a mix of unrelated ventures under one corporate umbrella.
Its energy operations produce and deliver power drawn from gas, coal, wind, sun, water, nuclear reactions and geothermal heat, plus gas pipelines, storage sites, LNG facilities and coal mining interests. Factories under its control turn out candy, chemicals, cutting tools, flooring, insulation, roofing, paint and brick, along with aerospace and power-generation parts made from metals like cobalt, nickel and titanium. Elsewhere it builds homes and lends money to buyers, makes RVs, clothing, shoes, jewelry and batteries, ships electronic parts, franchises quick-service eateries, moves groceries and food supplies, trains pilots and shares aircraft, and sells cars, furniture, appliances, electronics and housewares through its retail arm.
The company is based in Omaha, Nebraska, and dates back to 1998. Its stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker BRK.B.
