Berkshire Hathaway’s shares fall after $3.8 billion write-down, operating profit weakness

Berkshire Hathaway’s shares fall after .8 billion write-down, operating profit weakness

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway saw a sharp decline in its Class A shares, dropping more than 3% in afternoon trading on Monday. This came as a result of a $3.8 billion write-down and a decrease in quarterly operating profit, as disclosed by the firm over the weekend.

The write-down of Berkshire Hathaway’s 27.4% stake in Kraft Heinz, its second for the company, highlighted a significant decrease in the value of the investment. Despite being the largest shareholder of Kraft Heinz, challenges have arisen as consumer preferences shift towards healthier options and private-label products.

In addition, Berkshire reported a 4% dip in operating income, falling from $11.6 billion the previous year. This was attributed to underwriting premiums falling and trade policy uncertainties impacting the conglomerate’s consumer businesses.

Furthermore, Berkshire has refrained from repurchasing any shares since May 2024, indicating caution towards market valuations amidst ongoing tariff and economic growth uncertainties. This decision has raised concerns about the company’s liquidity and long-term sustainability.

The succession plan at Berkshire Hathaway has also been a point of concern, with Class A shares lagging behind the S&P 500 index since Warren Buffett announced his intention to step down as CEO at the end of the year. Greg Abel, currently a vice chairman at Berkshire, is expected to take on the leadership role.

As investors grapple with the transition in leadership, the share price continues to slide, reflecting uncertainty about the company’s future without the guidance of Buffett and the late Charlie Munger, Berkshire’s long-time vice chairman.

Overall, Berkshire’s Class A and Class B shares both experienced declines in afternoon trading, signaling ongoing challenges for the conglomerate. With market volatility and succession uncertainties looming, Berkshire Hathaway faces a pivotal moment in its storied history.
