Berkshire Hathaway (US0846707026) stock costs EUR 453.13 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 3:04 p.m. CEST, plus 0.48 percent versus the prior close of EUR 450.98. As IBTimes reported on October 6, 2026, Berkshire bought more than 2.4 million additional Lennar shares worth USD 192.63 million across transactions dated October 1 and October 2, 2026.

Three capital moves in 2026

On August 8, 2026, Berkshire reported second-quarter revenue of USD 101.80 billion and operating earnings of USD 13.00 billion, up 10.00 percent and 16.30 percent year over year, respectively, according to Inkl. On September 21, Berkshire disclosed Lennar purchases worth USD 212.40 million, lifting the position above 10 percent, according to CNBC. On October 1 and October 2, Berkshire added USD 192.63 million of Lennar shares, according to IBTimes.

What does housing exposure add?

The latest purchases took Berkshire's reported Lennar position to 28.43 million Class A shares and 568,028 Class B shares. The scale matters because Berkshire is building a housing exposure that links its existing Clayton Homes operations with a listed homebuilder, while Lennar faces weaker demand and lower margins.

The operating backdrop remains stronger at the parent level. Zacks reported that second-quarter 2026 revenue rose 10.00 percent year over year to USD 101.80 billion and exceeded consensus by 6.80 percent. Insurance underwriting earnings fell 13.10 percent year over year, a counterweight to the growth in railroad and manufacturing operations.

Next Berkshire reporting date

Yahoo Finance lists November 2, 2026 as the scheduled date for Berkshire's third-quarter 2026 earnings announcement. That report will show whether capital deployment continued after the Lennar purchases and whether operating earnings kept pace with the second-quarter increase.
