Berkshire Hathaway stock closed at USD 502.01 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, within a 52-week range of USD 464.01 to USD 537.74. The market capitalization stood at USD 965.95 billion, leaving the shares 6.64 percent below the 52-week high. The latest company-specific development is Berkshire's enlarged position in homebuilder Lennar.

Lennar stake reaches USD 1.8 billion

According to MoneyMorning on September 23, 2026, Berkshire held roughly 23.7 million Lennar Class A shares worth about USD 1.8 billion at the disclosed prices, alongside more than 500,000 Class B shares. The purchases take Berkshire's holding close to 10 percent of the homebuilder.

GuruFocus reported on September 22, 2026, that Berkshire bought more than 2.7 million Lennar shares between September 17 and September 21 at weighted-average prices ranging from USD 74.80 to USD 79.41. The timing gives the transaction a clear operating angle: Berkshire is increasing exposure to housing while Lennar faces weaker affordability and demand conditions.

Quarterly revenue rose 10.04 percent

Berkshire's quarter ended June 30, 2026, produced earnings per share of USD 17,868, compared with USD 8,601 in the same quarter of 2025, according to finanzen.ch on September 22, 2026. Revenue increased 10.04 percent year over year to USD 101.81 billion from USD 92.52 billion.

The comparison matters because the revenue gain and the EPS increase point in different directions: operating scale expanded, while the reported per-share figure more than doubled from the prior-year quarter. The latest available report also puts Berkshire's annualized operating profit at about USD 52 billion based on second-quarter results, according to Motley Fool on September 22, 2026.

Stock remains below yearly peak

On September 21, 2026, the shares had gained 1.60 percent over the previous year, while the property and casualty insurance industry gained 2.80 percent, according to Zacks on September 23, 2026. That 1.20 percentage-point gap leaves the Lennar investment and the second-quarter figures as the clearest measurable signals for the stock's current narrative.

Berkshire Hathaway stock was quoted at USD 502.01 on the NYSE as of September 21, 2026. The shares were USD 35.73 below the 52-week high of USD 537.74 and USD 38.00 above the 52-week low of USD 464.01.
