    Berkshire repurchased $9.6B in shares during Q3 2026, doubling Q2 buyback pace

    Question

    Berkshire repurchased $9.6B in shares during Q3 2026, doubling Q2 buyback pace

    Direct answer

    Regulatory disclosures reveal that Berkshire Hathaway deployed $9.6 billion toward repurchasing its own Class A and Class B shares during the third quarter of 2026. The capital commitment represents more than twice the buyback volume logged during the second quarter. The step-up in buyback activity indicates management perceived equity valuation to be below intrinsic worth during the summer months. Class A shares have since rallied roughly 14% above the average execution price recorded in September, highlighting capital efficiency.
