The investment firm has adjusted its earnings per share (EPS) estimates for both "B" and "A" shares. The second-quarter 2025 EPS estimate for "B" shares has been raised to $5.06 from $5.00, and for "A" shares, it has been increased to $7,595 from $7,493. This improvement is primarily attributed to better-than-expected results in the insurance segment [1].
UBS also notes that GEICO is expected to show an improved expense ratio, while Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance Group (NYSE: RGA) should benefit from lower catastrophe losses during the quarter. Additionally, the firm has reduced revenue expectations for BNSF based on the latest volumes [2].
For the full year 2025, UBS now projects EPS of $19.97 for "B" shares, up from $19.92, and $29,955 for "A" shares, up from $29,882. The firm forecasts sequential growth of 1.8% in book value per share for the second quarter of 2025 [2].
UBS does not model any share buybacks for Berkshire in 2025/26, noting that the company’s shares currently trade at a 4% premium to intrinsic value, compared to an average 18% discount during previous buyback periods [1, 2].
