How did berkshire hathaway do it?

Question

why is berkshire hathaway so expensive on the stock market? and are there other companies like it? (as expensive)

Answer 1

None have a share price so high.  Warren Buffett, who runs Hathaway has built quite a reputation on taking risky bets and making them profitable.  While some part of the share price is based on supply and demand, the other part is based on earnings, profits, cash flow, holdings, etc.

Answer 2

hmmm....let's see Warren Buffet and a lack of stock splits

Answer 3

Berkshire has never split the stock.  Basically its a conglomerate of quite a few companies.

Answer 4

Berkshire Hathaway is so expensive because they are very successful, and have never had a stock split.  On average their investors receive a 25% return annually.  Warren Buffet is a genius.  They have different level stocks A-stock and B-stock.  A -stock is obviously a lot more expensive while B-is less, but still very expensive.
