Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 52% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 3, 2025
The stock is trading cheaper than normal compared with the value of its assets, which can attract bargain hunters. History shows that when the price reaches this low area and trading picks up, shares often rise 5-7%. A recent note said factories now supply one-fifth of sales, giving the firm balance. If the price returns to its usual level, it could approach about $521 within three months while still acting as a steady holding.
Primary drivers
- Ultra-low momentum levels have led to 5-7% rebounds eight times before.
- Shares are below their 10-year average price-to-assets ratio, giving cushion.
- $174 billion cash allows buybacks, helping prevent large price drops.
- Growing factory segment means profits now come from several business lines.
How it played out
BRK-B: target was not reached
Lyra published BRK-B at $485 on July 3, 2025, with a short-term thesis for 9% growth toward $528.65. The thesis pointed to low momentum levels that had led to 5-7% rebounds before, a price below the 10-year average price-to-assets ratio, $174 billion in cash that could support buybacks, and a growing factory segment.
Inside the window, the stock rose but stayed below the target. It peaked at $507.66 on September 5, 2025, a 4.7% gain. It never got there. By October 1, 2025, BRK-B ended at $498.20. The thesis partially played out.
