Berkshire Hathaway (ISIN US0846707026) was trading at EUR 442.33 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026, down 0.03 percent versus the prior close of EUR 442.48. The latest operating figures give the stock a stronger business backdrop, with second-quarter earnings rising faster than revenue.
Operating earnings rise 16.30 percent
According to Zacks on September 7, 2026, Berkshire Hathaway generated USD 13.00 billion in operating earnings in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 16.30 percent from the year-earlier period. Revenue reached USD 101.80 billion, an increase of 10.00 percent year over year, and exceeded the consensus estimate by 6.80 percent.
The comparison matters because operating earnings exclude swings in the value of Berkshire Hathaway's equity portfolio. That makes the 16.30 percent increase a clearer reading of the insurance, railroad, energy, manufacturing, service and retail businesses than reported net income alone.
Revenue growth remains broad
Insurance and other revenue increased 10.10 percent to USD 88.50 billion in the second quarter, while manufacturing, service and retailing revenue rose 15.20 percent to USD 61.50 billion, according to Zacks. Insurance underwriting operating earnings moved in the opposite direction, falling 13.10 percent to USD 1.70 billion.
That mix leaves investors with two different signals: operating businesses outside underwriting expanded, while the insurance result placed a limit on the quarter's overall quality. The figures also show why Berkshire's diversified structure remains central to the stock story under CEO Greg Abel.
Stock stays inside yearly range
Berkshire Hathaway's market capitalization was USD 1,085.2 billion on September 29, 2026. The Class B shares had a 52-week range of USD 464.01 to USD 537.74, putting the Lang & Schwarz euro quote in the middle portion of the documented yearly band when viewed alongside the separate US-dollar listing data.
A September 25, 2026 analysis from 24/7 Wall St. cited a four-analyst consensus target of USD 547.67 after a Class B close of USD 505.49. The target was 8.34 percent above that US-dollar close, giving the earnings growth a valuation checkpoint without replacing the euro reference price used here.
