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.

What's going on folks? BRK could use some boost recently.

Meh, not really. Not as far as I can see.

Things have been flattish for a while, but the price was pretty rich when the flattish stretch started. Even now, valuation multiples are above the "modern" average. 3.6% above the 20 year verage P/B, and 14.5% above the 20 year average multiple of my valuation metric which places more emphasis on operating earnings.

That doesn't mean they the price will go down to the prior average multiples, but it's enough that I don't see a reason to expect that a boost is in any way overdue.

Jim
