Vast conglomerate becomes the first non-tech company to hit the major stock market milestone
The market value of Berkshire Hathaway surpassed $1tn on Wednesday, reflecting investor confidence in the conglomerate that Warren Buffett built over nearly six decades into what many consider a proxy for the American economy.
Berkshire joined six other companies, mainly from the technology sector, above $1trn: Apple, Nvidia , Microsoft, Google parent Alphabet, Amazon.com and Facebook parent Meta Platforms.
Berkshire’s dozens of insurance, energy, manufacturing, retail and service businesses generated $22.
