Berkshire Hathaway buys back $9.6 billion in shares as operating earnings fall
November 7, 2026. Berkshire Hathaway reported approximately $9.6 billion in share repurchases during the third quarter, bringing its first-nine-month total to approximately $14.4 billion. Third-quarter operating earnings fell to $12.71 billion from $13.49 billion a year earlier.
Why it matters
Repurchases show how the conglomerate is deploying some of its capital, while operating earnings help investors assess the performance of its businesses.
Rockstar Briefing editorial analysis
A large buyback alone does not establish that shares are inexpensive or predict returns. Investors should weigh the purchase price and available capital against business profitability and other investment opportunities.
