Subject: Re: Current Price To Peak Book...
LOL at the Careless Whisper video ... memories of the 80s. I knew that as a Wham! song at the time, but I see it was marketed as a George Michael song in some places.

I posted on the Current Price to Peak Book subject not too long ago: https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid...


Using $230.31 as peak book per B-share and current B-share price of $295.50 I get a current price to peak book of 1.28, very close but not precisely what you found at 1.29. I'm sure a .01 difference isn't significant.

I'm starting this thread so we can have a quick place to find BRK's peak book value, which has been put forth as a better indicator of BRK's value than current book value by mungofitch.

Current Peak Book Value, using numbers reported on these boards by longtimebrk in this thread: https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid...

Quarter 1, fiscal year 2022:
$345,469 for A shares.
$230.31 for B shares, dividing by the above A share figure by 1,500.

Later in that thread Aguila gives directions how to compute the quarterly book value precisely:

As found in the Quarter 1 2022 10-Q:

BRK shareholders' equity: $508,141 million
equivalent Class A common stock basis: 1,470,875 shares
Book value: 508,141/1.470875 = $345,469

Also of interest, PickTrader posted his analysis of trend adjusted book value in the following thread, proposing it as a potentially better marker of value than Peak Book. https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid...
