Wall Street already poses its bets on Berkshire Hathaway before the company published its income from the first quarter on May 2.
According to a CNBC report on Monday, UBS analyst Brian Meredith pushes even stronger on class B stock of the company, calling the so-called “Bébé Berkshire” a “safe refuge in a turbulent environment”. Meredith respected his previous purchase note, but pushed the target of 12 months at $ 606 per share, against $ 557.
This represents an increase of approximately 14% compared to the fence price of $ 530.96 yesterday. Meredith also increased his estimate of profits from the first quarter to $ 4.89 per share, against $ 4.81, driven by the improvement of loss ratios in Geico, which is one of the main assets of Warren Buffett.
Berkshire's class B shares have already climbed almost 18% in 2025. Even with Donald Trump in the White House and the prices outdated, Meredith said Geico could manage the impact.
“We expect the prices to potentially increase complaints of 3% to 4% at Geico, however, given current profitability, Geico can be able to absorb additional costs without increasing prices and staying in target margins,” said Meredith.
Meredith also keeps his eyes open for any index on how Berkshire plans to use his massive cash flow of $ 334 billion, an amount that has reached record levels for the company. In addition to all this, analysts interviewed by FostSet provide for a profit per share of the first quarter of $ 4.72 on a turnover of $ 90.8 billion.
Buffett wealth balloons as Berkshire Stock could be higher
At 94, Warren's fortune inflates alongside the Berkshire Hathaway actions. Its net value jumped 23.7 billion dollars so far in 2025, reaching 166 billion dollars, Bloomberg Billionaire Index reported.
The thrust amounts to a gain of 16.7% of the year, largely fueled by the high series of class B actions in Berkshire. Since the last figures, the action has closed $ 534.29, up 19% this year.
The Warren Financial Empire is mainly linked to Berkshire, representing around 99.5% of its net value, as it has pointed out several times in public declarations.
Even after a minor drop of $ 260 million – or 0.2% – on the most recent day of negotiation, Warren's financial situation is still firmly locked up. Berkshire's November 2024 documents show that Omaha's Oracle holds around 37.4% of class A shares of the company, while its class B assets are almost too small to count.
Warren's limited non -Berkshire active ingredients have not changed much for more than a decade. In this infamous letter, he wrote to the Tim Huelskamp congresses in 2011, and thanks to disclosure since 2010, Warren said that the non -Berkshire investments he holds are mainly pocket changes compared to his main assets.
He once had issues in Wells Fargo and US Bancorp, but those who have increased to less than 1% of his total fortune and still do it today. The weather has not really helped these investments outside either.
Market changes, dividend reinvestments and asset sales have changed their values, but they remain tiny compared to its Berkshire mountain.
The situation as a whole is that his manual did not need to adapt even during the most difficult economic seasons. His approach without drama led him with inflation, market collapses and economic slowdowns.
Overall, the stable hands of Warren have transformed his farms in Berkshire into the ultimate fortress against market chaos for Wall Street, proving once again that he could be the biggest history of investors ever recorded.
