Berkshire Hathaway to Report Q2 Earnings Amid Analyst Expectations
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.B) is set to release its second-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2026, with analysts expecting a profit of $5.24 per share on a diluted basis—a slight increase from the previous year's quarter. The company has historically mixed results in meeting or beating expectations over recent quarters. Over the past year, BRK.B underperformed both the S&P 500 Index and the State Street Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF due to concerns around leadership transition following Warren Buffett’s retirement timeline, margin pressures at GEICO, and a portfolio that lacks significant exposure to high-growth sectors like tech and AI. Despite these challenges, analysts maintain a moderately bullish outlook with an average price target of $524.80. In its first-quarter report on May 2, BRK.B saw revenues rise by 4.4% year over year to $93.7 billion, while EPS surged nearly 120%. The stock closed down slightly in the following session.
