The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

I think there are reasons to look more favorably at the valuation of BHE than what recent earnings would suggest...

Seems reasonable.

For whatever it's worth, these are the trailing-four-quarter net earnings at BHE as reported, and the same figures with the addition of my two adjustments to 2023-Q1 and 2023-Q1.
Gives an interesting insight when graphed...some gentle roll-off lately, but not a plummet.
