Would like to check current BV.

I have $279.20

This seems higher than Morningstar?

Equity - $601,697

Share B - 2155,043,508.

Do I have an error?

Thanks

Sounds right.

You have to make sure to use the June 30 share count, not the most recent share count on the cover page. Otherwise it's pretty straight forward.

Berkshire shareholders' equity $601,697 million.
Share count 553302+1325090508/1500= 1,436,695.672
Book per share = $418,806.16

Economic interest equivalence $279.2041 per B share.

Mungofitch previously estimated what he thought book value would be, I think in early July but I can't find his post.

His estimate then was $281 if I recall correctly.

Pretty darn good!

I have a rough guess as to June book per share, $421,100 per share or $280.73 per B from here https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid=474517153

And indeed $280.73 was a bit optimistic, with the actual number coming in at $279.20 per B share.

Why should we even bother waiting for the quarterly reports ? :}
