Subject: 2026 Expected...
From Barron's Andrew Bary today:

<Looking out to the end of 2026, book value could top $540,000 per class A share, Barron’s estimates, meaning the stock trades for less than 1.4 times that projection. Any buyback today could look good in hindsight as book value grows. Berkshire stock has traded between 1.3 and 1.8 times book value in recent years, peaking just before last year’s annual meeting.>

I've slowly become an Abel bull. At the very least, he'll tighten the sails nicely.

Would anyone like to take a swing at what "Barron's estimate" might look like to arrive at a 1.4p/b forecast? My personal squishy red-line is 1.3x, but I sure would be interested in seeing 1.4 .


PS. Bary goes on to write: < The board member with the smallest holding is Susan Decker with about $1.5 million of stock. She has been a board member since 2007. She is a former Yahoo executive and is the CEO of Raftr, a community experience platform, according to the Berkshire 2025 proxy. >

Remind me of her value and why she's relevant? I live about ten stories below being a 'nobody' and my 27 year commitment dwarfs hers!
