The One Unstoppable Reason to Buy Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) Like Warren Buffett in 2025
Berkshire’s secret sauce? It prints cash while legacy finance plays checkers.
Buffett’s Money Machine Defies Gravity
Forget meme stocks and crypto hype—BRK.B’s compounder engine hums quietly as Wall Street chases shiny objects. The Oracle’s conglomerate still outperforms 90% of hedge funds over a decade (prove us wrong).
Why This Isn’t Your Grandpa’s Blue Chip
Geico. See’s Candies. Apple. A barbell of boring cash cows and tech moonshots—all wrapped in Buffett’s ‘buy forever’ ethos. Meanwhile, bankers burn fees rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Why invest in Berkshire now? Well, it's reasonably valued. Its recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 23.6 is a bit above its five-year average of 21.0, and its price-to-sales ratio, recently 2.5, is a bit above the five-year average of 2.2. This suggests that Berkshire isn't a screaming buy right now, but the price is within reason for long-term investors.
If you invest in Berkshire, you'll get a lot for your money. You'll become a part-owner of scores of businesses owned by Berkshire, such as GEICO, Benjamin Moore, See's Candies, and the entire BNSF railroad. You'll have a stake in Berkshire's stock portfolio, too, with major positions in companies such as,,, and.
The company is simply built to last, with much of its value in resilient industries such as energy, insurance, and transportation. It's worth noting that Buffett, at age 95, will be stepping down from the CEO post at the end of the year, though he'll remain involved. He has long planned for this transition and has named longtime Berkshire executive Greg Abel to take the reins. He has two capable investing lieutenants as well.
Berkshire's future may be different from its past, but it still looks promising. If at some point Abel sees Berkshire with much more cash than it can use effectively, a dividend might even appear.
