What drives Berkshire Hathaway's valuation
Berkshire Hathaway's valuation is especially sensitive to insurance underwriting profitability and float growth, equity portfolio concentration (Apple is the largest holding), BNSF railroad earnings and capital returns, and the pace of capital deployment through buybacks or large acquisitions. A sustained catastrophic loss cycle in insurance, or a significant decline in Apple's value, would meaningfully reduce Berkshire's intrinsic value. Strong underwriting discipline and patient capital deployment support the long-term bull case.
