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.

" Berkshire is carrying the Kraft Heinz stake for $13 billion under the equity method of accounting since it owns more than 20% of the company. Under that 20% level, Berkshire would carry the stake at market value.

In its third quarter 10-Q, Berkshire said it had examined the Kraft investment and determined that “recognition of an impairment charge in earnings was not required.” Berkshire also performed a similar test of its equity investment in Occidental Petroleum equity—also carried under a similar accounting—and found no impairment was required.

Berkshire could take an impairment charge on the Kraft Heinz investment when it reports its fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 22. Any impairment charge would be noncash and therefore would probably be ignored by investors. Berkshire already took a $2.8 billion non-cash impairment of the Kraft Heinz stake in 2018."

I expect a write down in Flying J as well.
