Berkshire Hathaway shares hit eight-month high

The conglomerate that Warren Buffett built rallied to an eight-month high this week. There could be more gains ahead if they play catch up with the S&P 500.

Berkshire Hathaway's shares climbed to an eight-month peak this week, potentially setting the stage for further gains if they stay in sync with the S&P 500. On Tuesday, the B shares topped out at $512.37, marking their highest close since November 28. By Friday, they dipped to $511.54, a 5.2% decline from their record high of $539.80 in May 2025.

The Class A shares also peaked at $768,010 on Tuesday, their best since November 28, and closed at $766,600 on Friday, 5.3% below their all-time high of $809,350. Despite this, Berkshire's rally still has potential, as the stock lags behind the S&P 500 by 7.6 percentage points. The benchmark index is currently 7.6 percentage points ahead.
