Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.B) Class B shares surpassed $465 this week, while Class A shares exceeded $700,000, pushing the market capitalisation of Warren Buffett's company past the $1 trillion mark. This milestone makes it the first non-tech U.S. company to join the trillion-dollar club, alongside Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Saudi Aramco.
Buffett's success lies in his value investing philosophy, which has allowed him to build a portfolio that consistently outperforms the market. This month is no exception—while the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) has rebounded about 9.4% from its 5 August low, Berkshire Hathaway's Class B shares have surged over 14%.
Can the price climb even higher?
Technical analysis of the BRK.B chart reveals that:
→ Since mid-2023, the price has been forming an upward channel (shown in blue). On 5 August, the price attempted to break below the lower boundary but failed. The long lower wick on that day's candle indicates strong demand.
→ Following 5 August, a steady uptrend emerged without significant pullbacks, lifting the price to the upper half of the channel. The median line acted as support during a test (indicated by an arrow), and the RSI indicator soared into the overbought zone.
→ When analysing 2024 price action using Fibonacci proportions, the B→C retracement is about 0.50 of the A→B impulse. This suggests a target for the current rally could be at the 1.618 level, around $475, which aligns with the upper boundary of the rising channel.
Therefore, as the price approaches $475, the bullish trend may slow down. According to TipRanks, the target price for BRK.B shares is $477 over the next 12 months.
