What's Happening
Berkshire Hathaway Q4 2025 earnings miss consensus estimates
On February 28, 2026, Berkshire reported Q4 2025 EPS of $4.73, missing Wall Street consensus of $5.19 by $0.46, with revenue at $92.52 billion versus expected $98.50 billion.

Insurance underwriting pressures
Berkshire's core insurance operations faced elevated catastrophe losses in 2025, contributing to 24.8% earnings decline to $67 billion TTM. Higher claims from weather events squeezed combined ratios above 100% in spots—eroding the float that fuels investments. This ties directly to BRK-B's value, as durable underwriting profits historically drive 10-15% ROE; Zacks sees Q1 2026 EPS at $4.82, implying stabilization if losses moderate.

Technical Analysis
Market Positioning
Where does this asset sit across four dimensions? Extension (how stretched price is vs its own history), Momentum (RSI, MACD, rate of change), Flow (volume and money flow), and Volatility (how quiet or active). Each bar shows a 0–100 percentile compared to the last year of data. Key levels show the nearest demand and supply zones from our confluence analysis.
Key Levels
Looking at the full picture for Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK): extension is slightly below average (44th percentile), momentum is slightly above average (64th percentile), flow is slightly below average (32nd percentile), volatility is deeply below average — at historically low levels (15th percentile). The standout feature is the volatility compression — the asset is unusually quiet relative to its own history. This kind of compression often precedes a significant move. The directional indicators are not extreme in either direction, which makes the volatility reading the most notable signal right now. Volatility compression at these levels rarely persists for long. A move above or below the recent range with rising volume would signal that the compression is resolving.
