Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is not rated by the StockConviction engine: Sector not covered.
"Sector not covered": our five pillars read the income statement and balance sheet of a company that sells products or services. Three families do not read that way. A bank or an insurer: their revenue, debt and capital do not mean the same thing. A listed property company: what it truly earns is measured other than by accounting profit. An energy or water provider: its prices are set by a regulator, not by the market. Rather than apply a framework that does not fit them, we do not score them. How we rate a stock
