Berkshire is a combination of operational companies and a mass investment portfolio. According to the accounting rules, the company must include non -welcoming gains and losses. This means that the company must inform losses in a weak stock market, even if it has not sold the shares.
In the first quarter of 2024, Berkshire reserved “$ 1.5 billion earnings” of his investments. This quarter, on the other hand, this portfolio recorded a loss of $ 5 billion. Berkshire Hathaway was a net salesman of $ 1.5 billion of capital values in the quarter.
Other metrics look better. Berkshire Hathaway increased money balances in quarter -quarter by 4%, or $ 13 billion last year. The company did not buy any shares during the first quarter of 2025.
Berkshire’s real operating companies published a slowdown, but it was not as dramatic as the shared number would suggest. The company generated $ 9.6 billion in operational gains during the quarter, 14% up to $ 11.2 billion a year ago. About a billion dollars of this decrease are currency loss and income for non -property in investment directly from Berkshire.
The company’s massive insurance business produced mixed results, and halved subscription revenue, but investment revenue is slightly increasing. Insurance companies have reported gentle results this quarter due to payments related to California’s wildfires and other natural disasters.
