Buffett's Company Hits $1 Trillion Market Cap
Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.B) Class B shares surpassed $465 this week, while Class A shares exceeded $700,000, pushing the market capitalisation of Warren Buffett's company past the $1 trillion mark. This milestone makes it the first non-tech U.S. company to join the trillion-dollar club, alongside Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Saudi Aramco.
Buffett's success lies in his value investing philosophy, which has allowed him to build a portfolio that consistently outperforms the market. This month is no exceptionwhile the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) has rebounded about 9.4% from its 5 August low, Berkshire Hathaway's Class B shares have surged over 14%.
Can the price climb even higher?
Technical analysis of the BRK.B chart reveals that:
Since mid-2023, the price has been forming an upward channel (shown in blue). On 5 August, the price attempted to break below the lower boundary but failed. The long lower wick on that day's candle indicates strong demand.
Following 5 August, a steady uptrend emerged without significant pullbacks, lifting the price to the upper half of the channel. The median line acted as support during a test (indicated by an arrow), and the RSI indicator soared into the overbought zone.
When analysing 2024 price action using Fibonacci proportions, the BC retracement is about 0.50 of the AB impulse. This suggests a target for the current rally could be at the 1.618 level, around $475, which aligns with the upper boundary of the rising channel.
Therefore, as the price approaches $475, the bullish trend may slow down. According to TipRanks, the target price for BRK.B shares is $477 over the next 12 months.
