BNSF's operating ratio was 65.4%, an 0.6-point increase. Quarterly volume rose 6.5%, while average revenue per unit increased 7.6%, primarily from higher fuel surcharge revenue. Consumer products volume, which includes intermodal and automotive traffic, grew 9.3%. Berkshire said the volume growth was due to \"higher intermodal shipments resulting from higher West Coast imports, market share gains, and tightening truck capacity.\" Agricultural and energy products traffic was up 11.5% for the quarter. \"The volume increases were primarily due to higher grain exports, petroleum fuels and oilseeds and meals,\" Berkshire reported. Industrial products volume increased 3.1%, which Berkshire attributed to higher steel, aggregates, and cement shipments. Coal volume declined 7.9%, \"primarily due to plant retirements and lower demand, attributable to lower natural gas prices,\" Berkshire said.

The stock climbed as much as 3.3% earlier in the session after successor Greg Abel increased spending from the company's cash reserves and financial results exceeded analyst expectations. The Omaha, Nebraska-based conglomerate reduced its cash position to $364.7 billion on June 30 from a record $380.2 billion three months earlier, according to its quarterly report released on Saturday. Berkshire repurchased $4.5 billion of its own stock and bought $23.5 billion of other stocks during the second quarter. The purchases included a $10 billion investment in Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google and YouTube. The company spent at least $10.1 billion more cash in July on stock buybacks and the acquisition of home builder Taylor Morrison. Second-quarter operating profit increased 16% to $12.98 billion. Gains from railroad, service and some insurance businesses offset rising accident claims and advertising spending at the Geico car insurer. Net income more than doubled to $25.67 billion, including paper gains on investments such as Alphabet and Apple Inc. Revenue grew 10% after more than two years of largely flat growth.

Join 7 million investors using Simply Wall St's investing ideas for FREE. Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B) under new CEO Greg Abel carried out its largest quarterly share repurchase since 2021, alongside major new equity investments. The company used a sizable portion of its cash reserves for substantial buybacks and fresh positions in stocks such as Alphabet. This capital deployment marks a clear shift from Berkshire Hathaway's prior pattern of net selling and more cautious use of cash. For readers looking to compare Berkshire Hathaway's capital decisions with other income focused opportunities, the next logical step is to review 8 dividend fortressesNYSE:BRK.B 1-Year Stock Price Chart Berkshire Hathaway sits at the center of the US large cap universe, with its Class B stock now trading at $521.8 and a multi year record of double digit total returns over 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. For readers, that mix of a high absolute share price and long term compounding history helps frame how meaningful any shift in capital use can be for overall portfolio impact. See which insiders are buying and buying and selling Berkshire Hathaway following this latest news. What actually changed in Berkshire Hathaway's capital playbook? Berkshire Hathaway shifted from sitting on its cash to putting it to work. Under Greg Abel, the company carried out about $4.5b of share buybacks and deployed roughly $31b into equities in the quarter, including around $10b into Alphabet and over $21b into other commercial and industrial stocks. Cash still stood at $365.5b, but that was down from nearly $400b as Berkshire became a net buyer of equities with close to $20b in net purchases. For you as an investor, the key change is that Berkshire is no longer just stockpiling cash. It is actively reallocating capital into its own shares and into large equity positions. What does this mean for the Berkshire Hathaway Narrative as an investor? The new capital approach sits alongside solid operating results, with operating earnings of about $13.0b in Q2 2026 and net earnings near $25.7b. Strength in energy, rail, manufacturing and retail helped offset weaker insurance results, including a 45% drop in Geico underwriting profit. For investors, Berkshire Hathaway is presenting a Narrative that combines sizeable retained earnings, ongoing investment in its operating businesses and a willingness to concentrate more capital in selected public stocks and buybacks when management sees that as attractive. What should investors watch next from Berkshire Hathaway? Story Continues The key reference points from here are the pace of capital deployment and the size of the cash pile. Watch how the $365.5b in cash changes over the next few quarters, especially the split between additional buybacks and new stock purchases versus holding more in short term securities. Any material move in quarterly share repurchases relative to the recent $4.5b level, or another single position on the scale of the $10b Alphabet investment, would show how committed Berkshire is to this more active capital use.

Anyone who got shares in that sale paid $355.1982 apiece for the Class A stock. Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B) paid $351.81. The Google parent had agreed the day before to sell Warren Buffett's company $10 billion of stock in a private placement \u2014 Alphabet sold the shares straight to Berkshire instead of running them through the public offering. Berkshire paid $351.81 for $5 billion of Class A shares and $348.20 for $5 billion of Class C shares, which carry no voting rights and trade a few dollars cheaper, according to Alphabet's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Public buyers in the sale running alongside it paid $355.1982 and $351.8018. The private sale closed June 4, the same day as the public one.

Here's what it is and 3 simple steps to fix it ASAP Millionaires under 43 hold only 25% of their wealth in stocks. Here's where their money is actually going Berkshire had owned Alphabet since the third quarter of 2025, and Alphabet described the placement as an addition to a stake Berkshire had been building since then. The gap is $3.39 and $3.60 a share. Across the roughly 28.6 million shares in the placement, it comes to about $100 million. That one transaction accounts for more than 40% of every dollar of stock Berkshire bought in the quarter. What Berkshire bought in the second quarter Berkshire's second-quarter report, filed Aug. 8, showed the company buying more stock than it sold for the first time in 14 quarters. That ended a stretch of net selling that began in the fourth quarter of 2022 and outlasted Buffett's tenure as chief executive. Net earnings, the noisier figure, roughly doubled to $25.67 billion. Operating earnings, which strip out the paper swings in Berkshire's stock portfolio and are the figure Buffett has long told shareholders to watch, rose 16% to $12.98 billion. Share buybacks jumped to $4.53 billion from $235 million in the first quarter. The cash pile \u2014 $397.4 billion at March 31, the most it had ever held \u2014 finally fell, to $365.5 billion. Berkshire's filing gives six-month totals rather than quarterly ones; the quarterly split works out to roughly $23.5 billion of stock bought against about $3.7 billion sold. Story Continues Profit from writing insurance policies fell 13% and income from investing premiums fell 9%. Why Berkshire paid less than Alphabet's public investors Alphabet paid to sell stock to the public. Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley led a group of 31 banks that took the $18 billion offering, distributed it and collected a fee. Alphabet told investors to expect about $17.8 billion left over once the banks' cut and the cost of the sale were paid, or roughly 1.1%. Public buyers had no say in the price. Berkshire bought straight from the company. No syndicate, no fee. The discount it negotiated, 0.95% on the Class A shares and 1.02% on the Class C, runs close to what Alphabet would have paid the banks to move the same stock. Alphabet kept about $351.25 a share from public buyers of the Class A stock and $351.81 from Berkshire. On the Class C shares it was $347.89 against $348.20. Across the 28.6 million shares in the placement, Berkshire's money was worth roughly $12 million more to Alphabet than the same shares sold to the public. Alphabet also gave Berkshire the right to resell the shares publicly later, which buyers in private deals don't automatically get. Who made the Alphabet call, Buffett or Abel Most early coverage of Berkshire's moves framed the quarter as Greg Abel's arrival on the battlefield.
