Berkshire Hathaway: Buffett Drops The Mic
BRK-A, BRK-B
Published: July 24, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

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.
