Berkshire Hathaway is a conglomerate of insurance, railroad, utility and industrial businesses with a very large cash and Treasury position and no refinancing needs. Elevated US yields raise the income earned on its insurance float and cash pile directly, so a Fed that stays on hold helps it rather than hurts it. The company is buying back its own shares again, which it only does when it judges the stock below intrinsic value. It is also putting capital to work, recently raising its stake in homebuilder Lennar to about 11%. BNSF, one of the largest US railroads, gains share from trucking when diesel is expensive. The valuation sits near the middle of its historical range for a balance sheet that gains options when weaker companies are stretched. The main open question is capital allocation under the new CEO.

How this is worked out
The MoatMap Score weighs the business, its price and its trend. The price check reads only the chart: the price side of the Momentum score, in words.
The rules: Still falling is a new 52-week low in the last two weeks, at least 25% below the high. Finding a floor is no new low since. Turning up is 20 or more trading days without a new low, at least 10% off it, and back above a rising 50-day average. In an uptrend is above the 200-day average and within 15% of the high.
In 2,112 US drawdowns since 2001, buying while the price was still falling was followed by a further 20% drop 42% of the time. Waiting for a turn (the Turning up rule above) cut that to 33%, at about 7% higher prices and with no better returns. Part of that cut is simply not buying: 13% of falls never turned, and waiting kept those out. Among turns that were bought, 38% still fell another 20%, and 33% of turns were followed by a new low within six months. The benefit was largest in crashes such as 2008 and 2020.
What it measures: how much the price moved day to day over the past year, scaled to a yearly figure (annualised volatility) and ranked against every stock we cover. Very calm under 20% a year, Calm 20 to 30%, Average 30 to 40%, Bumpy 40 to 55%, Very bumpy above that.
What we found: across about 13,500 stocks in 34 markets (2002 to 2025), past swings were a good guide to the next year's, and bumpier stocks fell further. How much further changed too much between eras to put a number on it.
Calm is not safe: a calm stock can still slide steadily.
