Berkshire Hathaway May Continue Underperforming In 2026 (Rating Downgrade)
Summary
- Berkshire Hathaway is downgraded from bullish to neutral, citing likely underperformance versus the S&P 500 in a risk-on, tech-led 2026.
- BRK.B's portfolio is heavily weighted toward cash, Treasuries, and non-tech operating businesses, limiting upside as rates fall and growth stocks lead.
- Declining Treasury yields will erode BRK.B's investment income, while its equity portfolio is underexposed to mega-cap technology relative to the S&P 500.
- I await evidence of strategic shifts under Greg Abel, especially toward technology allocations, before reconsidering a bullish stance on BRK.B.
