Berkshire Hathaway stock trades below its yearly high

Berkshire Hathaway stock stood at USD 507.96 on September 24, 2026, at 10:23 a.m. ET, while the company carried a market capitalization of USD 1,095,595,352,116. The quote was 5.54 percent below the 52-week high of USD 537.74, putting the share price closer to the upper end than to the 52-week low of USD 464.01.

Stock sits below yearly high

The intraday change was USD 0.79, or 0.16 percent, compared with the previous close of USD 507.17. That modest daily move leaves the 52-week range as the clearer valuation reference, with a USD 73.73 spread between the low and high.

The current price is USD 29.78 below the yearly peak. In percentage terms, the gap equals 5.54 percent of the high, a measurable distance that keeps Berkshire below its recent top without signaling a sharp daily direction.

Conglomerate structure shapes valuation

Berkshire Hathaway operates across financial services, insurance, freight rail transportation and utility services. Its businesses also include manufacturing, residential construction, retail, logistics, food distribution and other operating activities.

That breadth makes the market capitalization a useful company-level reference, but it also limits the value of a single-sector comparison. Insurance remains the formal industry classification, while the wider portfolio adds rail, energy, industrial and consumer exposure to the same listed company.

Price remains the key market marker

At USD 507.96 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 24, 2026, Berkshire Hathaway stock was 9.47 percent above its 52-week low and 5.54 percent below its 52-week high. The two-sided range places the shares in the upper 40.00 percent of the annual band.

For investors, the central market fact is the combination of a USD 1.095 trillion valuation and a price that remains below the USD 537.74 yearly high. The next comparison point is therefore the distance to that high rather than the 0.16 percent intraday change.
