Key technical levels and volatility

Short-term volatility looks muted: daily percentage moves in recent sessions have tended to stay within a 1% band, highlighting the stock’s role as a relatively steady large-cap compounder rather than a high-beta trade.
How the stock compares with peers
Berkshire combines a large insurance franchise with a diversified equity portfolio and fully owned industrial, utility and consumer businesses, which makes a direct sector comparison difficult but broadly ties it to the US financials and insurance universe.
Market data providers typically classify Berkshire under property and casualty insurance, meaning it often appears alongside names like Chubb, Travelers and Allstate in sector overviews, even though its earnings drivers are more diversified.
What the company sells
Berkshire Hathaway makes money through a mix of insurance operations, including GEICO auto insurance, reinsurance and primary coverage, plus wholly owned subsidiaries in rail (BNSF), energy and utilities (Berkshire Hathaway Energy) and a large portfolio of listed equities.
