Investing.com - UBS raised its price target on Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKa) (NYSE:BRK-A) to $892,120 from $887,099 while maintaining a Buy rating, citing improved insurance business performance.
The firm increased its second-quarter 2025 earnings per share estimate to $5.06 from $5.00 for "B" shares ($7,595 from $7,493 for "A" shares), primarily due to better performance in the insurance segment.
UBS noted a better expense ratio at GEICO and lower catastrophe losses for Berkshire Hathaway Re as key factors driving the adjustment, while reducing revenue expectations for BNSF based on latest volumes.
For full-year 2025, UBS now projects EPS of $19.97, up from $19.92 for "B" shares ($29,955 from $29,882 for "A" shares), and forecasts sequential growth of 1.8% in book value per share for the second quarter of 2025.
The firm models no share buybacks in 2025/26, noting Berkshire shares currently trade at a 4% premium to intrinsic value, compared to an average 18% discount during previous buyback periods.
