The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

” Home Services is smaller than Compass with $4.4 billion in sales last year. That compares with $5.6 billion for Compass, whose shares finished Friday at $8.73, down 0.8%. Compass stock is up 144% over the past year and now has a market value of $4.7 billion.”

Glad to see this. Fewer headaches, more cash. Since the article does not speculate about price, I’m curious; would the numbers above suggest a market value of $3.6 billion for Home Services? Does anyone know how much the business is worth on BRK/BHE’s balance sheet?
