    Berkshire Hathaway repurchased $9.6 billion of shares in Q3 2026

    Question

    Berkshire Hathaway repurchased $9.6 billion of shares in Q3 2026

    Direct answer

    Berkshire Hathaway accelerated its share repurchases significantly in the third quarter of 2026, deploying $9.6 billion. This pace was more than double the capital allocated in the prior quarter. Under CEO Greg Abel, the conglomerate repurchases equity exclusively when internal metrics show shares trading at a discount to conservatively estimated intrinsic value. The subsequent 14% gain in Class A shares validates management's purchase band from late summer.
