"Berkshire Hathaway's Record-Breaking Year: Profits Soar, Cash Pile Surges"

Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, reported a record annual profit of $97.1 billion last year, attributing the success to gains in its insurance operations and investment income. The conglomerate's operating earnings rose 21 percent to $37.4 billion, with its insurance division and stock investments driving the growth. However, revenues from its railroad and utility businesses declined. Buffett also paid tribute to Charlie Munger, his longtime lieutenant, in his annual letter to investors.

HSBC's Record Profits Overshadowed by $3 Billion China Writedown

HSBC reported a record annual profit of $30.3 billion, up 78% from the previous year, but fell short of analysts' expectations due to a $3 billion writedown from its stake in a Chinese bank. The bank announced a $2 billion share buyback and a fourth interim dividend of $0.31 per share, while also considering a special dividend once its Canada disposal is complete. CEO pay doubled in 2023, and the bank's Hong Kong-listed shares dropped 3.4% in afternoon trade. HSBC remains cautious about loan growth in the first half of 2024 and expects costs to rise further as it grapples with inflation and invests in its businesses.

JPMorgan Chase Achieves Record $49 Billion Annual Profit Despite 4Q Revenue Miss

JPMorgan Chase reported a record annual net income of $49.6 billion, surpassing its rivals Bank of America and Wells Fargo. Despite a challenging period for the banking industry, JPMorgan's profits were boosted by better loan margins and the acquisition of First Republic. However, its quarterly profits dipped 15% due to a one-time hit of roughly $3 billion to pay for a special assessment charged by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Other big banks also faced challenges, with Bank of America's fourth quarter profits falling roughly 56% and Wells Fargo's quarterly profits being up 9% largely due to operating losses from legal and regulatory costs in the year-ago period.
