A Message from
Warren E. Buffett
Chairman's perspective on Berkshire Hathaway's philosophy, values, and commitment to shareholder value.
Chairman's Letter to Shareholders
Our goal is to maximize Berkshire's intrinsic value per share. We do this in two ways: the first is by improving the earnings of our many wholly-owned operating businesses—both organically and through acquisitions. The second is by investing in the productive assets of other good businesses, primarily using our insurance subsidiaries' float.
We believe that our approach—with its emphasis on long-term thinking, decentralized management, and shareholder alignment—has served Berkshire well over decades.

Long-Term Focus
We think in decades, not quarters. Our approach prioritizes sustainable value creation over short-term profits.
Owner Orientation
We treat shareholders as partners. Our goal is to maximize intrinsic value per share, aligning management incentives with owner interests.
