Berkshire Hathaway is the conglomerate run by legendary investor Warren Buffett. It owns GEICO, BNSF Railway, Dairy Queen, and dozens of other businesses while holding a massive stock portfolio including Apple, Bank of America, and Coca-Cola.
Operating earnings from insurance (GEICO, reinsurance), BNSF railroad, energy utilities, and manufacturing. Investment portfolio performance, Buffett's stock picks, and the company's $150B+ cash pile (waiting for opportunities) all move the stock.
BRK-B is considered a safe haven during volatility due to its diversification and cash position. No dividend — Buffett prefers buybacks. Annual shareholder meeting in May often creates a mini-catalyst.
