Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B)

Trailing price-to-earnings: 15.45
Price-to-book: 1.28

BRK.B stock is considered “fairly valued.”

Berkshire Hathaway is a holdings company touching on many industries. That helps it diversify. But it also allows the firm to seek fair value across assets. In essence, that’s what this stock is all about — finding fairly valued assets and investing in them.

A look at the company’s most recent earnings report shows that as well (Page 21). Berkshire Hathaway judges its investments based on “carrying value” and “fair value.”

Here’s another way of describing this: the firm has amounts of money invested and then what they believe those assets should be worth. The company strives to have a net carrying value that is lower than its net fair value.

So, in many ways, Berkshire Hathaway is a great resource for understanding value investing at large. On top of that, it is certain to stay focused on value investing.

As such, I’d say that — whether value stocks come back into fashion or not — this one is worth a look. Regardless of what’s in vogue, this company is a name that investors can trust.

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B)

Buffett himself refers to himself as a value-oriented investor and continues to espouse a buy-and-hold investment philosophy even at age 90.

Investors get to own a company that is well-diversified and has a track record of providing strong returns.

With the economy now reopening, Berkshire Hathaway stock has done well year-to-date, providing an 18% return to shareholders.

Over the past decade, BRK.B stock has provided a 275% return. The holding company today owns everything from railroads to furniture stores, clothing companies to dry goods purveyors.

Of course, Berkshire Hathaway remains best known for its extensive portfolio of stock holdings. The company is one of the largest shareholders of major American companies such as Apple (NASDAQ:APPL), Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), to name only a very few.

Berkshire Hathaway is the type of reliable value stock that investors can hold onto forever. You could buy the class A stock (NYSE:BRK.A) that has never split and currently costs around $403,000 for a single share. But the Class B stock is much more affordable for most retail investors.
