How Berkshire compares this week
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Class A shares trade around $745,301, giving the group a market capitalization of roughly $1.05 trillion, according to real-time quote data from a major US brokerage platform.
The share price range on 06/19/2026 runs from about $730,000 at the session low to $745,301 at the intraday high, a relatively contained band for such a high nominal price.

The conglomerate's sector role is reinforced by sizable equity stakes in banks and payment companies, including large holdings in American financial stocks detailed in its latest portfolio filings to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The product behind the stock
Berkshire Hathaway generates earnings through a mix of businesses that range from GEICO auto insurance and BNSF Railway to energy assets under Berkshire Hathaway Energy, alongside a large portfolio of listed equity investments.
