Q3 operating earnings understated.
While they are at a record level $10.7 BB, they include over $1.3 BB reserve accrual for wildfires in Q3 and 1.9 BB YTD. So the true run rate of earnings are higher.

Here is something else that I find interesting. The weighted average buyback price from 2019 to now is: 198.74, 203.53, 269.97, 302.60 and 320.89. They are paying 60% more this year than they did in 2019.
