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.

Has Berkshire Hathaway Lost The Buffett Premium?
BRK-A, BRK-B
Published: July 09, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has sold off since CEO Warren Buffett announced his retirement, but the fundamentals remain strong. The recent 10% BRK.A stock decline is an overreaction to Buffett's retirement; he remains involved, and the company's fundamentals are intact. Core businesses like insurance and energy are well-positioned to benefit from long-term secular tailwinds, especially with higher interest rates and increased energy demand. Technical analysis shows Berkshire is oversold near the 200-day EMA, presenting a compelling buy-the-dip opportunity for long-term investors.

Sentiment: Negative

Constellation Brands faces growth stagnation, tariff headwinds, and M&A missteps, making its future outlook weak despite its strong beer portfolio. Financials show high margins and shareholder returns, but flat revenue and moderate dividend growth don't justify holding for income or growth. Valuation appears stretched, with intrinsic value below current price and negative momentum increasing downside risk, especially before earnings.
