Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 76% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published November 4, 2025
Berkshire looks set for a short-term recovery after a recent slide. It holds a record $382B in cash, giving it plenty of choices, like buying back stock or buying other companies. Clearer leadership plans add comfort. In a mildly rising market, strong, steady businesses often drift back toward typical levels. With many different earnings sources and lots of cash, the risk of a big drop is lower.
Primary drivers
- A huge $382B cash pile lets Berkshire buy back shares or make acquisitions.
- After a sharp dip, a strong long-term business may rebound.
- Recent quarterly results were solid, confirming the business is sturdy.
- Stock tends to move less than the market, offering a calmer trade.
How it played out
BRK-B: target was not reached
Lyra published BRK-B at $480.40 on 2025-11-04. The thesis expected 10% growth over a short-term window. It pointed to Berkshire's $382B cash pile, room for buybacks or acquisitions, a possible rebound after a sharp dip, solid quarterly results, and a calmer stock profile.
Inside the window, BRK-B rose to $516.85 on 2025-11-28. That was a 7.6% peak gain, but it stayed below the $528.43 target. It never got there. By 2026-02-02, it ended at $487.29. The thesis partially played out: the stock did rise, but not enough to reach the published target.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
