Berkshire Hathaway is ramping up stock buybacks under new CEO Greg Abel

Berkshire Hathaway is ramping up stock buybacks under new CEO Greg Abel

Berkshire's new CEO Greg Abel is starting to put their $366 billion cash hoard to use. After a pause on stock buybacks, they repurchased $235 million in Q1. That ramped up to $4.5 billion in Q2, with another $3.3 billion last month. Operating profits are up 16% year over year, mostly from their energy and manufacturing sectors, though insurance dropped 9%. They also bought more stocks than they sold in Q2, adding about $20 billion to their portfolio. It looks like management believes the stock is currently undervalued.
