Berkshire Hathaway: Buffett Drops The Mic — Negative

BRK-A  BRK-B   Seeking Alpha — July 24, 2025

For Berkshire Hathaway to achieve outsized gains, Greg Abel must find an 'elephant' acquisition; both investment and non-insurance earnings growth have slowed considerably since 2007. Insurance operations have been a bright spot in recent years with consistently negative cost of float and strong underwriting profits; however, the market is turning soft, leading to declining profits. The over 60 non-insurance businesses haven't shown encouraging growth since 2021; if Berkshire aims to grow its operating earnings, it must accelerate the growth rates of these businesses.

How The Quarter Results Of Oxford Lane Affect Its Fixed Income — Negative

OXLC  OXLCO   Seeking Alpha — July 23, 2025

OXLC's Q2 2025 report revealed an 11% dividend cut and a 1-for-5 reverse stock split, reflecting ongoing NAV per share declines. The dividend cut was justified, as payout exceeded portfolio yield, but I question if the reduction was sufficient for long-term sustainability. Despite falling NAV, fixed-income holders (baby bonds and preferreds) remain well-covered, with asset coverage ratios far above regulatory minimums.
