Berkshire’s Payouts Are Expected to Remain Weak

Berkshire’s Payouts Are Expected to Remain Weak

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is sitting on a cash pile of $100 billion. Whereas the company had long kept a policy of no dividends, repurchases, or stock splits, Buffett and Munger altered their strategies to accommodate repurchases for the first time in 2011. Berkshire has agreed to do buybacks at a premium of not more than 20% for Class A and B shares through open-market or privately negotiated transactions.
