Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. trades at $749,158.06. We do not hold enough of the inputs to value this company with the confidence the estimate implies, so we publish no fair value for it rather than a number we would not defend.
Our moat model scores it 65 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 12.6 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.
