See our latest analysis for Berkshire Hathaway. Recent trading has taken some heat out of Berkshire Hathaway’s momentum, with the share price down 3.41% over the past week. However, a 3.20% 90 day share price return and 5.62% one year total shareholder return still point to steadier longer term gains. If this kind of broad, resilient business interests you, it could be a good time to widen your search and check out 21 top founder-led companies Berkshire Hathaway’s mix of insurance, rail, energy, and consumer businesses gives it a broad earnings base. However, the share price has cooled slightly after a strong multi year run. Is this still a solid business at a fair price today? AdvertisementPreferred P/E of 12.6x for Berkshire Hathaway: Is it justified? Berkshire Hathaway is currently trading on a P/E of 12.6x, which its valuation checks flag as good value compared both to peers and the wider US diversified financials sector. The P/E ratio compares the company’s share price with its earnings per share. For a group like Berkshire Hathaway that earns money across insurance, rail, energy and consumer businesses, the P/E helps you see how much investors are paying for each dollar of earnings across that mix. Here, the stock’s 12.6x P/E is described as attractive versus the estimated fair P/E of 16.6x. That suggests the current pricing sits below a level the market could theoretically move toward if earnings quality and growth trends stay in line with those implied by that fair ratio. The same 12.6x P/E is also assessed as low compared with the US diversified financial industry average of 18x and a peer average of 23.4x. That is a wide gap, and it supports the view that Berkshire Hathaway is trading at a discount to similar companies on this measure. Explore the SWS fair ratio for Berkshire Hathaway Result: Price-to-earnings of 12.6x (UNDERVALUED) However, you still need to watch for pressure on Berkshire Hathaway’s earnings, given recent declines in net income growth and any shift in insurer or utility regulation. Find out about the key risks to this Berkshire Hathaway narrative. Another view on Berkshire Hathaway’s valuation While Berkshire Hathaway looks inexpensive on a P/E of 12.6x, the SWS DCF model presents an even stronger value case. At a share price of $504.03 and an estimated future cash flow value of $785.81, the stock appears materially undervalued on this second approach. This gap between cash flow value and current price raises a practical question for you: Is the market overestimating future earnings and return on equity headwinds, or is the DCF model too optimistic about Berkshire Hathaway’s long term cash generation potential? Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.
