Post #13203 by mungofitch on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

$480 sounds a bit rich to me.

Back of the envelope examples
Book/share growth nominal 10.4%/year and 1.4x March 2026 book would be a price around $477 around Q2 next year.
Book/share growth nominal 6.1%/year and 1.4x March 2026 book would be a price around $454 around Q2 next year.

Those aren't what you'd call forecasts, but they seem to be in the general range of what would be pretty usual.
(The lower 6.1% growth rate example is because it doesn't currently look like this will be a banner year for earnings or stock returns in general)

It would not be at all surprising to see some trading below $430. I wouldn't expect buybacks to resume above $460ish, if then.
