Investmentholding Berkshire Hathaway from MultiMilliarch Warren Buffett published the figures for the recent quarter on Saturday.
Investors are eagerly pursuing the strategies and investment decisions of the stock market legend Warren Buffett – as well as the quarterly figures of his investment company Berkshire Hathaway. On Saturday, the holding company now published the business figures for the second quarter of 2025.
In the past annual quarter, Buffett-Holding’s turnover fell to $ 92.515 billion. This corresponds to a decline compared to the previous year’s value of $ 93.653 billion. Analysts had previously expected sales of $ 91.963 billion.
The net profit of Berkshire Hathaway fell from $ 30.498 billion to $ 12.370 billion. The result per A-share was $ 8.601 in the reporting period, after $ 21.122 per A-share in the second quarter of the previous year. The EPS was $ 5.73 per B-share each in the past annual quarter, after $ 14.08 in the same period last year.
Billions depreciation on power Heinz
In the second quarter, the US conglomerate made considerable value adjustments to its participation in the food manufacturer Kraft Heinz. According to the financial figures submitted on Saturday, a depreciation of $ 3.76 billion after taxes put on the company’s profit. The background is the persistently weak price development of the power-Heinz share, where Berkshire holds around 27 percent.
A few years ago, Warren Buffet had made a massive depreciation of the participation.
In view of the ongoing economic challenges, Heinz is currently examining strategic alternatives, including a possible splitting of the company. In May, Berkshire withdrew from the Board of Directors of the Food Group, but emphasized that he wanted to continue to hold the participation in the long term.
How necessary restructuring measures at Kraft Heinz have recently also revealed a look at the business development of the company, which had a loss of billions in balance in the second quarter.
There are also changes to Berkshire
Berkshire himself is currently preparing for a change of management: The 94-year-old Warren Buffett announced his withdrawal from the chairmanship of the board at the end of the year. His long -time deputy Greg Abel is to take over the management.
With a market capitalization of around a trillion US dollar, Berkshire Hathaway is the most valuable US company that cannot be directly assigned to the technology sector (as of July 31, 2025).
