Berkshire Buybacks More Than Double to $3.3 Billion in July Alone

Berkshire Hathaway repurchased over $3.3 billion of its own stock in July 2026 alone, more than double the roughly $1.5 billion monthly pace averaged in Q2, per its August 9 quarterly report. Berkshire buys back shares only when they trade below its "conservatively determined" estimate of intrinsic value, so the acceleration suggests management sees a widening gap between price and underlying worth.
