How Intrinsic Value Is Calculated Sum-of-parts
U.S. public equities (13F, live)
$263.10B
International equities (Japan, live)
$44.86B
Cash & equivalents
$51.48B
Short-term investments (T-bills)
$339.26B
Operating businesses (15× pretax earnings)
$13.9B pretax operating earnings × 15
Why 15×?

Buffett has written in shareholder letters that he values businesses at 10–15× pretax earnings, with higher-quality businesses at the upper end. At Berkshire's ~21% effective tax rate, 15× pretax is equivalent to roughly 19× after-tax — consistent with long-run valuations of large, durable businesses. Berkshire's mix of capital-intensive segments (BNSF, BHE) and higher-return franchises (insurance) makes 15× a conservative blended estimate; many analysts of comparable conglomerates use 16–18×.
