Berkshire Hathaway reported second-quarter 2026 net earnings attributable to shareholders of $25.7 billion, up from $12.4 billion a year earlier, and operating earnings of $13.0 billion, up from $11.2 billion. Much of the increase reflects investment gains of $12.7 billion, which the company says are largely driven by changes in unrealized gains on equity holdings and are not indicative of quarterly business performance.
- Q2 2026 net earnings $25.7 billion vs. $12.4 billion in Q2 2025; first six months $35.8 billion vs. $17.0 billion
- Q2 2026 operating earnings $13.0 billion vs. $11.2 billion; manufacturing, service and retailing $4.5 billion vs. $3.6 billion
- Net earnings per average equivalent Class A share $17,868 in Q2 2026 vs. $8,601 in Q2 2025
- Treasury share purchases of about $4.5 billion in Q2 2026 and about $4.8 billion for the six months; insurance float about $177.5 billion at June 30, 2026

Operating earnings also declined, to $10.2 billion in the quarter from $14.5 billion and to $44.5 billion for the year from $47.4 billion.

- Full-year 2025 net earnings were $67.0 billion versus $89.0 billion in 2024; full-year operating earnings were $44.5 billion versus $47.4 billion.
