Subject: Dec 31 BV?
Has anyone here estimated Berkshire's Book Value Per Share (BVPS) as of Dec 31? The Sept 30th BVPS was up 20% over Sept 30, 2023. The June 30th BVPS was up 12% over June 30, 2023. The March 31st BVPS was up 14% over March 31st, 2023. BRK-A stock and the S&P 500 were up 25% in 2024. Without trying to estimate the growth of the business units and the return of the equity portfolio, I'm tempted to estimate that Berkshire's BVPS rose about 4% in Q4 and 16% in 2024 to $452K/A-share, but some of you may have better estimates. Thank you for your input.
