Prediction: Berkshire Hathaway Stock Tops $700 a Share Before the End of 2030

Analyst James Brumley predicts Berkshire Hathaway's Class B shares could reach $700 by end of 2030, representing roughly 30% upside from current prices. The projection is based on the company's strong operating earnings (tracking 17% above prior year), diversified portfolio of blue-chip stocks and cash-generating businesses, and new CEO Greg Abel's capital deployment strategy. Even with conservative assumptions, Berkshire could hold $475 billion in stocks, generate $60 billion in annual operating earnings, and maintain $400 billion in cash, potentially valuing the company at $1.5 trillion.
