Berkshire Hathaway Bru Gains Q2 2025

Berkshire Hathaway On Saturday, a short drop in operating profits from the second quarter on Saturday, the conglomerate of Warren Buffett warns against the negative impacts of steep prices in the United States.

The operating profit of Berkshire – those of companies in exclusive ownership of the company, including insurance and railways – plunged from 4% from one year to the next to 11.16 billion dollars in the second quarter. The results were affected by a drop in insurance subscription, while the railway, energy, manufacturing, service and retail have all experienced higher profits a year ago.

The Omaha -based conglomerate has once again issued a severe warning of President Donald Trump’s prices and the potential impact on his various companies.

“The pace of changes in these events, including the tensions of the development of international policies and commercial prices, has accelerated in the first six months of 2025,” said Berkshire in his winning report. “A considerable uncertainty remains as to the ultimate result of these events.”

“It is reasonably possible that there could be negative consequences on most, if not all, of our operating activities, as well as on our investments in equity securities, which could considerably affect our future results,” he said.

The Buffett treasure of $ 344.1 billion remained near a record level, although slightly lower than $ 347 billion at the end of March. Berkshire was a net of shares seller for a consecutive 11th quarter, pouring $ 4.5 billion into shares in the first six months of 2025.

The conglomerate also not bought any actions in the first half of 2025, even if the shares have decreased by more than 10% compared to a record.

Berkshire noted a loss of $ 3.8 billion in his Kraft Heinz participation, a long-standing underperforming the conglomerate. The consumer goods giant has watched a spin-off of his grocery business. Two leaders of Berkshire resigned from their administrators of the board of directors of Kraft Heinz in May.
