Summary · why it matters

Berkshire Hathaway reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of US$101.81 billion and net income of US$25.67 billion, with earnings per share from continuing operations of US$17,868. Under new CEO Greg Abel, the company sharply increased equity purchases, including an 83% rise in its Alphabet stake, and executed its biggest share buyback since 2021. The moves signal a greater willingness to deploy cash, though they also raise concentration risk in Alphabet and Delta Air Lines. Simply Wall St community fair value estimates for Berkshire range from about US$799,503 to US$1.18 million.
