“ Under SEC Rule 10b-18, a public company buying back its stock on the open market generally cannot purchase more than 25% of the stock's Average Daily Trading Volume (ADTV) in a single day. The ADTV is typically calculated based on the preceding four calendar weeks.While this 25% volume limit applies to regular daily open-market repurchases, a company can alternatively execute one "block trade" per week outside of this volume restriction. A block trade is broadly defined as a single transaction of at least 5,000 shares with a value of $50,000 or more.“ I’ll be very surprised if Brk wasn’t the buyer of 2.6 million Bs on Friday May 29th at 474.45.

Imagine Berkshire spending $3.5 billion to buy 5,000 A shares using this.

"Imagine Berkshire spending $3.5 billion to buy 5,000 A shares using this."
Very few old timers here have 5000 A shares. However, it would be interesting to make a poly market type betting line.
How many here think brk will buy back in q-2, 2026, combined A and B shares,
2 billion plus,
4 billion plus,
6 billion plus,
8 billion plus.
IF brkb continues to trade below 480, I expect a big surprise in q-2. I'll go with 4 billion plus but I might be low.
