Buffett’s Final Quarter: Berkshire Slows as Insurance Slump Signals New Era

Berkshire Hathaway reported Q4 2025 operating earnings of $10.2B, down about 29% from a year earlier, with insurance underwriting profits down 54% to $1.56B and insurance investment income down ~25% to $3.1B. This was Buffett’s final quarter as CEO before Greg Abel begins 2026. For 2025, operating earnings totaled $44.49B and overall earnings $66.97B, pressured by a $4.5B impairment from Kraft Heinz and Occidental; investment gains helped but overall earnings still fell. Berkshire did not buy back shares and its cash hoard eased to $373.3B, while its stock rose ~10% in 2025, lagging the S&P 500.}

US GDP slows to 1.4% in Q4 2025 as shutdown drags growth

US GDP rose at a 1.4% annualized rate in Q4 2025, undershooting economists’ expectations of about 3%, as disruptions from the government shutdown and softer consumer spending weighed on growth. The CBO estimated the shutdown shaved roughly 1.5 percentage points from Q4 GDP, with most lost output expected to be recovered. AI-related investment and tax cuts are seen as supports for activity later in the year, even as the economy remains uneven and inflation pressures persist.

CVS Health sticks to 2026 targets after robust Q4 beat

Pfizer's Q4 Preview: Beat Likely, but Upside Hinges on Drug Updates and US Pricing Policy

Pfizer is set to report Q4 earnings before the open, with expectations for EPS of $0.57 on about $16.85 billion in revenue, continuing its streak of beating earnings in 15 of the last 16 quarters. Yet upside looks limited given 2026 guidance, so focus may shift to new drug data (VESPER-3 obesity study, Lyme vaccine, prostate cancer treatment, NSCLC therapy) and potential US pricing pressure from Medicare negotiations starting in 2028. Options imply roughly a 3.6% move post-earnings, and Wall Street holds a Moderate Buy with a around $28.5 average target (AI target about $29).

Jefferies Flags META Trading at Historical Discount to GOOGL After Q4 Beat

Meta Platforms gained about 7–8% pre-market after a solid Q4 beat, with Jefferies noting META trades at roughly 21x forward earnings versus Alphabet’s ~28x—a gap the firm says is wider than historical norms and implies a valuation discount. META posted $8.88 per share on $59.89B in revenue; it also guided capex up to $135B to power AI, a spend that could compress margins by around 5% this year, though cost controls and a leaner metaverse push are positives. Five-star analyst Brent Thill remains bullish with a $910 price target (≈35% upside), and the street-wide Strong Buy rating still points to meaningful upside, with an average target around $830 (~24% upside).

CFO James Von Moltke highlighted strong performances in fixed income, currencies, DWS, and private banking with optimism for 2026 IPO activity, despite a slower investment-banking year.
