Is Berkshire Hathaway Undervalued Right Now? (Chris Bloomstran Explains) (TIP810)
The podcast episode examines whether Berkshire Hathaway is currently undervalued, using Chris Bloomstran’s latest intrinsic‑value calculations and the context of the upcoming 2025 shareholders meeting. Bloomstran applies four complementary methods—sum‑of‑the‑parts, GAAP‑adjusted earnings, price‑to‑book (≈175% of book), and a classic two‑prong approach—to arrive at a 9.3% annual intrinsic‑value growth rate. His model yields roughly $1.25 trillion of intrinsic market capitalisation, implying a per‑share fair value near $570 versus the market price around $485, or about 85% of fair value. Key drivers include a 13.7% total‑return on the stock portfolio, 10.5% book‑value growth, and solid performance from the railroad, energy, and manufacturing‑service segments. Insurance underwriting remains robust, with Geico posting an 82% combined ratio (≈18% pretax margin) despite pandemic‑induced refunds and inflation‑driven price hikes. Bloomstran also strips out currency translation gains/losses on Japanese‑yen debt, which offset each other and should be excluded from operating earnings. The analysis suggests Berkshire’s shares are trading at a discount to its own valuation framework, reviving the case for share repurchases that were halted in 2024. Investors should focus on the underlying operating earnings and insurance profitability rather than headline GAAP swings, as these fundamentals drive long‑term value creation.
