Note: Per share amounts for the Class B shares are 1/1,500th of those shown for the Class A.  

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) require that we include the changes in unrealized gains (losses) of our equity security investments as a component of investment gains (losses) in our earnings statements. In the table above, investment gains (losses) in 2025 include gains of $9.6 billion in the fourth quarter and $12.9 billion in the full year and in 2024 include gains of $2.1 billion in the fourth quarter and losses of $38.1 billion in the full year due to changes during the fourth quarter and the full year in the unrealized gains that existed in our equity security investment holdings. Investment gains (losses) in 2025 also include after-tax realized gains on sales of investments of $3.9 billion in the fourth quarter and $17.8 billion in the full year and in 2024 include gains of $3.1 billion in the fourth quarter and $79.6 billion in the full year.

The amount of investment gains (losses) in any given quarter is usually meaningless and delivers figures for net earnings per share that can be extremely misleading to investors who have little or no knowledge of accounting rules.

An analysis of Berkshire’s operating earnings follows (dollar amounts are in millions).

On December 31, 2025 there were 1,438,223 Class A equivalent shares outstanding. At December 31, 2025, insurance float (the net liabilities we assume under insurance contracts) was approximately $176 billion, an increase of $5 billion since yearend 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures in accordance with Regulation G are included herein.

Berkshire presents its results in the way it believes will be most meaningful and useful, as well as most transparent, to the investing public and others who use Berkshire’s financial information. That presentation includes the use of certain non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to the GAAP presentations of net earnings, Berkshire shows operating earnings defined as net earnings exclusive of investment gains (losses), impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and other-than-temporary impairments of equity method investments.

Although the investment of insurance and reinsurance premiums to generate investment income and investment gains or losses is an integral part of Berkshire’s operations, the generation of investment gains or losses is independent of the insurance underwriting process. Moreover, as previously described, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, we are required to include the changes in unrealized gains/losses of our equity security investments as a component of investment gains/losses in our periodic earnings statements. In sum, investment gains/losses for any particular period are not indicative of quarterly business performance.

About Berkshire

Berkshire Hathaway and its subsidiaries engage in diverse business activities including insurance and reinsurance, utilities and energy, freight rail transportation, manufacturing, services and retailing. Common stock of the company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, trading symbols BRK.A and BRK.B.

Cautionary Statement

Certain statements contained in this press release are “forward looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guaranties of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those forecasted.

Micron Celebrates Opening of India’s First Semiconductor Assembly and Test Facility

State-of-the-art site in Sanand, Gujarat, expands Micron’s global footprint and advances India’s semiconductor ecosystem

SANAND, India, Feb. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) today celebrated the grand opening of its semiconductor assembly and test facility in Sanand, Gujarat, India. The state-of-the-art facility converts advanced DRAM and NAND wafers from Micron’s global manufacturing network into finished memory and storage products. Once fully ramped, the first phase of Micron’s Sanand operation will feature more than 500,000 square feet of cleanroom space, making it one of the world’s largest single-floor assembly and test cleanrooms. The site serves customers worldwide to meet the growing global demand for memory and storage fueled by AI.

The facility represents a combined investment of approximately $2.75 billion by Micron and its government partners, advancing semiconductor manufacturing capabilities in India. Micron Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra and other executives witnessed the opening ceremony with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat Bhupendra Patel, Union Minister for Railways, Communications, Electronics & IT Ashwini Vaishnaw, U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor and other distinguished government officials and guests.

“Today is a proud moment for Micron and India’s growing semiconductor industry,” said Sanjay Mehrotra, Chairman, President and CEO of Micron Technology. “This pioneering facility, the first assembly and test site of its kind in the country, helps build a resilient ecosystem that underpins the global AI economy. We are deeply grateful to the government of India, the Gujarat government and all of the partners involved for their steadfast support in making this achievement possible.”

The Sanand site is ISO 9001:2015 certified and has begun commercial production. To mark the grand opening of the site, Micron presented its first shipment of made-in-India memory modules to Dell Technologies for its laptops made in India for India. Micron expects to assemble and test tens of millions of chips at Sanand in 2026, scaling to hundreds of millions in 2027. The expansion of conventional assembly and test operations in India complements Micron’s planned development of advanced manufacturing and packaging capabilities in the United States and strengthens the company’s global assembly and test network.

“The inauguration of Micron’s semiconductor facility in Sanand marks a historic milestone as Bharat begins its first commercial semiconductor chip production,” said Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. “This is a decisive step towards building a trusted, resilient and self-reliant semiconductor ecosystem under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji. India is now moving from being a consumer of chips to becoming a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing and innovation.”

Micron is building India’s next generation of semiconductor talent to support its operations in India. Through partnerships with Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU), Namtech, leading universities nationwide and government-sponsored skills development programs, Micron is supporting STEM education, specialized training, workforce readiness for advanced manufacturing roles and community initiatives, including digital and AI literacy programs across the region. 

Micron built and is operating the assembly and test facility in accordance with the company’s sustainability goals, rigorous health and safety standards, and with local and global environmental commitments. The facility is designed to meet or exceed Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standards. Additionally, the facility uses advanced water-saving technologies to enable zero liquid discharge.

(NYSE: KD) publicly traded securities between August 7, 2024 and February 9, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”), have until April 13, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Kyndryl class action lawsuit. Captioned Brander v. Kyndryl Holdings, Inc., No. 26-cv-00782 (E.D.N.Y.), the Kyndryl class action lawsuit charges Kyndryl as well as certain of Kyndryl’s top current and former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Kyndryl operates as a technology services company and IT infrastructure services provider.

The Kyndryl class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Kyndryl’s financial statements issued during the Class Period were materially misstated; (ii) Kyndryl lacked adequate internal controls and at times materially understated issues with its internal controls; and (iii) as a result, Kyndryl would be unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

The Kyndryl class action lawsuit further alleges that on February 9, 2026, Kyndryl filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 announcing it would be unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 within the necessary time. Kyndryl also allegedly disclosed that: “The Company, through the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors, is reviewing its cash management practices, related disclosures (including regarding the drivers of the Company’s adjusted free cash flow metric), the efficacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and certain other matters following the Company’s receipt of voluntary document requests from the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to such matters,” and that “the Company anticipates reporting material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting for the period covered in the Quarterly Report, as well as for the full fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, and the first two fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2026, which are expected to include, but may not be limited to, the effectiveness and strength of certain functions at the Company, including with respect to controls related to information and communication and tone at the top.” Kyndryl further revealed that “David Wyshner departed from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and Edward Sebold departed from his position as General Counsel of the Company, effective immediately. In addition, on the same date, Vineet Khurana stepped down from his position as Senior Vice President and Global Controller of the Company and assumed a different role at the Company,” the complaint alleges. On this news, the price of Kyndryl stock fell 55%, according to the complaint.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Kyndryl publicly traded securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Kyndryl class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Kyndryl investor class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Kyndryl shareholder class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Kyndryl class action lawsuit.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) (NYSE: SQM; Santiago Stock Exchange: SQM-B, SQM-A) reported today net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, of US$588.1 million or US$2.06 per share, compared to a loss of US$(404.4) million or US$(1.42) per share reported for the same period last year.

Gross profit

(


1)
 reached US$1,352.6 million (29.6% of revenues) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, higher than US$1,327.1 million (29.3% of revenues) recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Revenues totaled US$4,576.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, representing an increase of 1.0% compared to US$4,528.8 million reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

The Company also announced net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 of US$183.8 million or US$0.64 per share, an increase of 53.0% compared to US$120.1 million or US$0.42 per share for the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 reached US$448.5 million, 52.7% higher than the US$293.8 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2024. Revenues totaled US$1,323.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 23.3% compared to US$1,073.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

SQM’s Chief Executive Officer, Ricardo Ramos, stated, “Our fourth quarter 2025 results reflected record-high sales volumes across both of our lithium businesses: Nova Andino Litio (formerly SQM Salar) and our International Lithium Division. In November 2025, we began to see early signs of an improved supply-demand balance, driven by stronger-than-expected demand from energy storage systems (ESS), as well as certain supply disruptions. This led to a tighter market environment and a shift in pricing trends. We continue to observe solid demand fundamentals, and we estimate that the lithium market could grow by approximately 25% this year, led by electric vehicles (EVs) and ESS.”

Mr. Ramos continued: At Nova Andino Litio, we are operating at full capacity to meet our customer commitments while continuing to advance our expansion plans in the Salar de Atacama. In parallel, we are increasing refinery of lithium carbonate from lithium sulfate in China through tolling agreements.”

He added: “In Australia, we are also operating at full capacity in the production of spodumene concentrate.

What Is The Lawsuit About?

The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased securities during the period of March 28, 2025 through December 15, 2025, inclusive (“the Class Period”).

On October 30, 2025, Core Scientific announced it had not received enough shareholder votes to approve its merger agreement with Coreweave and, as a result, terminated the merger agreement. On the same date, Coreweave issued a press release concerning the Core Scientific shareholder votes stating: “Coreweave’s strategy remains unchanged. We will continue to execute with discipline against our roadmap to create long-term shareholder value including through opportunistic and strategic M&A.” On this news, the price of Coreweave shares declined by $7.39 per share, or approximately 5.5%, from $133.71 per share on October 31, 2025 to close at $126.32 on November 3, 2025.

During the call, lowered guidance for 2025 were “affected by temporary delays related to a third-party data center developer.” On November 11, 2025, Individual Defendant Michael Intrator, Coreweave cofounder, gave an interview with CNBC and stated that “every single part of this quarter went exactly as we planned, except for one delay at a singular data center” before revising his statement to “a singular data center provider.” On this news, the price of Coreweave shares declined by $17.22 per share, or approximately 16.3%, from $105.61 per share on November 10, 2025 to close at $88.39 on November 10, 2025.

On December 15, 2025, The Wall Street Journal published an article entitled “Coreweave’s Staggering Fall from Market Grace Highlights AI Bubble Fears” reported that “the completion date” for the “[huge data-center cluster] has been pushed back several months.” On this news, the price of Coreweave shares declined by $6.24 per share, or approximately 7.9%, from $78.59 per share on December 12, 2025 to close at $72.35 on December 15, 2025.
