The operating earnings of Berkshire Hathaway after taxes totaled $7.761 billion compared to $6.466 billion in the same quarter of 2021, exceeding market analysts’ expectations.

Berkshire Hathaway, the multinational conglomerate, experienced a 20% increase in its operating profit in the third quarter amidst anticipatory recession conditions. The operating earnings after taxes totaled $7.761 billion compared to $6.466 billion in the same quarter of 2021, exceeding market analysts’ expectations.

The conglomerate houses a legion of notable businesses in the fields of insurance, railroads, utilities, and retail under tycoon Warren Buffet, who advocated investors to lay the spotlight on operating earnings from their wholly owned subsidiaries. The insurance-investment line generated a $1.408 billion income running at $1.161 billion in the previous year. The corporation’s utilities and energy businesses acquired $1.585 billion against $1.496 in the last year. The insurance underwriting, however, suffered a loss of $962 million in addition to railroad earnings falling from $1.538 to $1.442 billion.

The insurance operations after-tax losses were attributable to the massive natural calamities brought in by Hurricane Ian ($2.7 billion) in 2022, Hurricane Ida ($1.7 billion), and Europe floods in 2021. Berkshire is a major casualty and property insurer, owning Geico, the second largest insurance company in America after State Farm.

Berkshire Hathaway has also incurred a massive investment loss in the third quarter, recording an after-tax net loss of $10.499 billion on investments and derivative contracts as compared to $10.499 earnings in the same period of 2021. This loss has overpowered the operating income to result in a net loss of $2.688 billion attributable to Berkshire shareholders. Shareholders holding class A shares of the company have a $1,832 net loss per share attributable to them. A precipitous drop in equity investments caused Berkshire’s quarterly loss over the past few months as financial markets went haywire.

Revenue has subdued by 15.9% to $63.469 billion, missing the estimates by 14.9%. The revenue consists of operating revenues from the operating subsidiary companies of Berkshire ($76.934 billion) along with the loss before tax on investments and derivative contracts (-$13.465 billion).

Berkshire Hathaway believes the aftereffects of the pandemic and the ongoing Russian-Ukraine war are still affecting the operating business as a consequence of disruptions in supply chains and higher costs that had been seen first in 2021, persisting in 2022 too.

Berkshire benefitted from the surge in demand and prices of new home sales, industrial products and energy, along with the US Fed’s campaign to fight inflation, helping boost the insurance investments.

Shares of the American multinational  conglomerate seem to have outperformed in the broader market as the Class A shares dipped by only 4% in comparison to the S&P 500’s decline of 20%. The stocks have fallen by 0.6% in the September quarter.

The Buffett company caught the US declining equity market and moulded it to its advantage by adding more stocks to its $306 billion portfolio. The company also bought a net $3.7 billion stake in Occidental Petroleum Corporation.

Berkshire Hathaway has also spent $1.05 billion in the buyback of its own shares during this quarter, making the nine-month total of $5.25 billion of repurchase. The repurchase for this quarter was in line with the $1 billion buyback of the second one. The repurchases were below the CFRA’s expectation, and analysts had expected it to be in line with the first quarter, where the total repurchase amounted to $3.2 billion.
