Berkshire Hathaway Looks the Part on Paper. Why We Still Don’t Own It.
Earnings Review · 07 November 2026
The print
Revenue $117.89B vs $9092.32 expected.
Did the flow confirm the move?
Price has run up but the money has been quietly leaving: distribution into strength. For a holder that is a trim-or-take-profit signal, not an add; the crowd sees the strength, the flow sees the exit. (21-day Chaikin Money Flow +0.13, five-day price change +4.8%, as of 2026-11-05, desk flow model).
Give the business its due
The business itself is genuinely strong: revenue growing about 10%, net margins near 22%, a wide competitive moat, backed by a 12% return on equity.
Levels that matter
At $856612.00 the shares sit -4% below the 52-week high of $824765.00 and 23% above the low of $698000.00 (125% of the way up the range).
The valuation lens
The shares trade about 26% above our fair-value estimate: priced for things to go right. Fair value lands near $632996 against a $856612.00 share price, a margin of safety of about -26%. The trailing multiple sits around 14 times earnings, which only makes sense if the growth holds.
The ethical lens, our differentiator
Fails the principled screen, Excluded industry: Insurance – Diversified. A strong business is not the same as a suitable one; for a values-conscious book this is a do-not-chase regardless of the print.
The compliant alternative
If the theme is what draws you, Qatar Islamic Insurance Group Q.P.S.C. (QISI.QA) sits in the same industry (Insurance – Diversified) and clears our principled screen, the place to look instead of chasing a name that does not.
The verdict for a values-conscious investor
A beat-and-raise does not change the screen. This is a great company you can admire without owning, protection first. One quarter, strong or soft, does not decide whether a holding is suitable.
