Berkshire Hathaway Class B Shares Climb as Market Anticipates Strong Close
BRK.B Sees Modest Gains Amidst Steady Trading Day, Nearing 52-Week High
[CITY, STATE] – August 29, 2025 – Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Class B (BRK.B) shares demonstrated a positive trajectory on August 28th, closing at $499.86, marking a gain of $4.14 or 0.84% during the regular trading hours. This uplift comes as investors continue to show confidence in Warren Buffett’s conglomerate, pushing its market capitalization to a robust 1.07 lakh crore (1.07 trillion) USD.
The day’s trading saw BRK.B open at $498.03, experiencing fluctuations before settling near its intraday high. The stock reached a high of $500.14 during the session, demonstrating a healthy appetite from buyers, while its low for the day was recorded at $496.07. The closing price of $499.86 also saw a slight uptick in after-hours trading, adding another $0.13 (0.026%) to reach $499.99, indicating continued positive sentiment.
Compared to its previous close of $495.72, the steady climb reflects a stable performance in the current market environment. While the stock’s 52-week high stands at $542.07, and its 52-week low at $437.90, the current price is comfortably within this range, showing resilience and consistent value.
A look at the financial metrics indicates a P/E ratio of 0.011, which might appear unusually low for a typical company. However, Berkshire Hathaway’s structure and significant holdings often lead to unique valuation metrics. The company does not currently offer a dividend yield, nor has it reported a quarterly dividend amount, a long-standing policy under its leadership, focusing instead on reinvesting earnings for growth.
The daily chart shows a gradual but consistent upward trend throughout the trading day, with notable strength building in the late afternoon, approaching the 4:00 PM mark. This consistent performance underscores the stability often associated with Berkshire Hathaway’s diverse portfolio, which spans insurance, railways, energy, and various consumer products.
As the market looks towards the end of the week, analysts will be keenly watching if BRK.B can sustain its momentum and potentially challenge its 52-week high in the coming sessions. The company’s conservative yet strategic investment approach continues to appeal to long-term investors seeking stability and value in their portfolios.
