Published
Berkshire Hathaway reported $101.81 billion in revenue for Q2 FY2026, the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 10.0% from a year earlier, and net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders of $25.67 billion, up 107.5%. Most of that increase came from Berkshire's equity portfolio, which is marked to market through earnings each quarter whether or not the shares are sold and contributed $12.68 billion after tax, up 155.2%, and from the absence of the Kraft Heinz impairment charge taken a year earlier. Operating earnings excluding investment gains and impairments, the measure that leaves out those equity marks, were $12.98 billion, up 16.3%, but the largest single contributor to that increase was the swing in foreign currency on Berkshire's non-dollar denominated senior notes, from a loss of $877.00 million a year earlier to a gain of $326.00 million, a period-end remeasurement of debt rather than an operating result; manufacturing, service and retailing and Berkshire Hathaway Energy also earned more than a year earlier, while insurance underwriting and insurance investment income were both lower.

FAQ · Berkshire Hathaway Q2 FY2026
How much did Berkshire Hathaway earn in Q2 FY2026?
Berkshire Hathaway reported net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders of $25.67 billion for Q2 FY2026, the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 107.5% from $12.37 billion a year earlier, or $11.91 per average equivalent Class B share. Operating earnings excluding investment gains and impairments were $12.98 billion, up 16.3%, though most of that increase came from the swing in foreign currency on non-dollar denominated senior notes, from a loss of $877.00 million a year earlier to a gain of $326.00 million.
Why did Berkshire Hathaway's net earnings rise in Q2 FY2026?
Berkshire Hathaway's reported earnings move with its equity portfolio, because unrealized changes in the value of those holdings run through earnings every quarter whether or not any shares are sold. Investment gains contributed $12.68 billion after tax in Q2 FY2026, up 155.2%, and the year-ago quarter also carried an impairment charge on the Kraft Heinz stake, while operating earnings excluding gains and impairments were $12.98 billion, up 16.3%.
How much revenue did Berkshire Hathaway report in Q2 FY2026?
Berkshire Hathaway reported total revenues of $101.81 billion for Q2 FY2026, the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 10.0% from $92.52 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. That line covers the insurance, railroad, utility, manufacturing, service and retailing businesses and does not include investment gains and losses, which Berkshire reports separately.
What is Berkshire Hathaway's book value per share?
Berkshire Hathaway's book value was $348.26 per equivalent Class B share at June 30, 2026, measured as shareholders' equity attributable to Berkshire divided by the equivalent shares outstanding on that date. Berkshire did not state an equivalent share count at the year-ago quarter end, so no year over year comparison of book value per share is available.

How this page was built
This page was built from Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s own filings with the SEC, read one at a time, and nothing on it is taken from a pre-tagged dataset, a data vendor or another website. The figures are on the company's own fiscal calendar and in actual dollars, as the filings report them. Where the filings do not support a figure, the record says so instead of reporting a zero; this period names 11 such gaps.
A single company files thousands of pages with the SEC in a year, and no two companies file them the same way, so the reading and the assembly here are done by AI rather than by rules that break on the differences. Every pass is then audited back against the filings it came from before the page is published, and anything the filings do not support is left out and named rather than filled in. AI can still make mistakes. That is why the accession numbers are printed: the filing is the authority, and this page is a route to it.
