Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway made history on Wednesday by becoming the first non-technology company in the U.S. to reach a $1 trillion market capitalization. This milestone was achieved as the shares of the Omaha-based conglomerate soared more than 28% in 2024, outperforming the S&P 500’s 18% gain. The $1 trillion mark was crossed just two days before Buffett’s 94th birthday.

Berkshire Hathaway, known for its old-economy focus with holdings such as BNSF Railway, Geico Insurance, and Dairy Queen, has seen significant gains driven by its sizable Apple position. Analysts like Cathy Seifert from CFRA Research view this achievement as a testament to the firm’s financial strength and franchise value, highlighting Berkshire as one of the few remaining conglomerates in existence today.

Under Buffett’s leadership, Berkshire Hathaway has transformed from a struggling textile business in the 1960s to a diversified empire spanning insurance, railroad, retail, and energy sectors. Recent moves by Buffett, including selling off a significant portion of his Apple stake and increasing Berkshire’s cash reserves to a record $277 billion, have raised eyebrows on Wall Street.

Despite Buffett’s cautionary approach, investors have rewarded Berkshire with the $1 trillion crown, speculating on its ability to weather economic uncertainties and generate steady income. Berkshire’s investment in short-term Treasury bills, valued at $234.6 billion, has surpassed the holdings of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Additionally, Berkshire Hathaway has been actively reshaping its portfolio by selling Bank of America shares and focusing on strong-performing sectors like insurance. Following a robust second-quarter earnings report, analyst Brian Meredith from UBS raised his price target for Berkshire’s A shares to $759,000, citing higher investing income and underwriting results.

While Berkshire’s Class A shares carry a hefty price tag, reflecting Buffett’s preference for attracting long-term investors, the company introduced Class B shares in 1996 for smaller investors seeking a piece of Buffett’s success. Overall, Berkshire Hathaway’s journey to a $1 trillion market capitalization underscores its enduring legacy as a powerhouse in the business world.
