Berkshire Hathaway's Resilience in Turbulent Markets

Describing stock markets in 2025 as volatile would be understating the wild ride investors have been on this year. Waking up each day and not knowing if your stock will be 10% higher or lower based on whether someone has been firing up their Truth Social account is enough to test any investor’s resolve.

Even the mega-cap U.S technology stocks, with market caps in the trillions, have been making daily moves in the hundreds of billions in single trading sessions. Among all the madness, one of the trillion-dollar companies in the U.S. has proved a steady hand - at least compared to ‘Magnificent 7’ stocks7.

I am, of course, referring to Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B,) whose share price has proved resilient in 2025, outperforming the S&P500 by around ~21.9% year-to-date. Berkshire Hathaway is a multinational conglomerate that owns and operates various businesses across different industries. It manages insurance companies like GEICO, energy providers such as Berkshire Hathaway Energy, and transportation through BNSF Railway. Additionally, it makes significant investments in major public companies like Apple and Coca-Cola, guided by the world’s most-known investor, Warren Buffett.
