How Berkshire traded this week
The B shares of Berkshire Hathaway traded around the upper-$480 to $490 range in recent sessions, with a latest quoted level of about $489 per share on the New York Stock Exchange according to Robinhood’s quote data.
That leaves Berkshire roughly flat over the past year and modestly higher on a one-month view, with one data provider calculating a 1.7% gain over the last month and a small negative total over six months.
Position in the US financial sector
With a market capitalization around $1.0 trillion, Berkshire ranks among the very largest US financial names, significantly above most pure-play insurers and asset managers and close to the biggest money-center banks by equity value.
The stock’s trailing price-to-earnings ratio near 14.6, based on earnings per B share of about $33.60, keeps Berkshire on a valuation multiple broadly in line with the wider US financial sector despite its diversified earnings base.
Peer comparison and index role
In the Standard & Poor's 500 index, Berkshire sits in the financials bucket alongside large banks, insurers and diversified financial groups, giving the conglomerate significant weight in passive index products tracking US equities.
Against those peers, the conglomerate continues to distinguish itself with its mix of wholly owned industrial and service businesses plus large listed equity stakes, which together generate sizable operating earnings and investment income.
What the company sells
Berkshire Hathaway makes money through a broad portfolio of businesses, including Geico auto insurance, BNSF Railway, Berkshire Hathaway Energy and a range of industrial, retail and service subsidiaries, complemented by a large portfolio of listed equity investments.
