The Pride of the Midwest is at an All-Time High 📊🤠

February 25, 2025

Uncle Warren is red hot right now. 🥵

Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.A / $BRK.B closed at a new all-time high on Monday after it smashed the market's expectations on Saturday.

The company reported operating earnings of $47.4B in 2024, a remarkable increase from $37.35B in the prior year.

In addition, insurance underwriting earnings rose to $9.02B in 2024, nearly double the $5.43B in 2023.

BRK has also significantly benefited from elevated interest rates, as it owns over $300B in U.S. government debt.

Here's the bottom line: the Oracle of Omaha is firing on all cylinders and riding this bull market higher.

Let's talk about what else happened 👇

Here are the latest earnings reactions from the S&P 500:

As you can see, Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.A / $BRK.B had the best reaction score on Monday, and Domino's Pizza $DPZ had the worst.  

Now, let's dig into the data and talk about these earnings reactions 👇

BRK had its best earnings reaction since Q4 2020:

Berkshire Hathaway reported a double beat and rallied over 4%. Its reaction score was 4.81.

After this earnings report, the stock resolved a multi-month accumulation pattern and closed at fresh all-time highs.

It's safe to say the market loved what Uncle Warren had to say.

If BRK.B is above 485, the path of least resistance is higher for the foreseeable future.

DPZ had a disappointing quarter:

Domino's Pizza reported a double miss and fell 1.5%. Its reaction score was a muted -0.15.

Despite missing expectations this quarter, the company announced a 15% increase in its quarterly dividend, which is very positive.

In addition, they plan to open 175-plus stores in the United States this year. The market loves how they're still aggressively trying to grow.

The stock is carving out a multi-year accumulation pattern, but it likely needs a few more quarters to mature.

For the foreseeable future, DPZ's path of least resistance is sideways. If and when the stock closes above 540, we'll shift our bias to the upside.

Thank you for reading.
