Berkshire Hathaway Q3 Profit Jumps 34% Amid Record Cash Holdings
Berkshire Hathaway's operating profit surged 34% to $13.49 billion in Q3 2025, driven by robust insurance underwriting performance. The conglomerate's cash reserves ballooned to a historic $381.7 billion, though notably absent were share repurchases during the period.
This marks Warren Buffett's final quarterly report as CEO, with BRK-B shares closing at $477.54, up 0.25% in after-hours trading. The results cement Buffett's legacy of disciplined capital allocation, even as markets speculate about deployment strategies for the massive cash position.
