Berkshire Hathaway Looks to Increase Japanese Investments

MT NewswiresFeb 24 05:57 ET

Berkshire will gradually increase its Shareholding in Japanese trading companies.

In his annual letter to shareholders, Warren Buffett expressed that Berkshire Hathaway hopes to gradually increase its ownership in Japan's five major trading companies over time, which may support their stock prices in Tokyo. The conglomerate, based in Omaha, Nebraska, initially agreed to keep its stake in these companies below 10%. However, according to a letter on Saturday, as Berkshire approaches the threshold, the trading companies have agreed to "moderately" relax the upper limit. The stocks of these five companies - Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsui & Co., Itochu Corporation, Sumitomo Corporation, and Marubeni Corporation - have long benefited from Buffett's interest.

Berkshire's operating profit soared, boosted by the Insurance Business and rising interest rates.

Berkshire's operating profit soared 71% in the fourth quarter, boosted by rising interest rates which enhanced the group's investment income, and the Insurance Business also saw improvements. For the three months ending in December, operating profit was $14.5 billion, the conglomerate headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, stated on Saturday. Part of this growth was due to a 48% increase in insurance investment income amid rising interest rates, totaling $4.1 billion. The strong recovery of the company's insurance underwriting business also significantly boosted earnings, with operating profit for this business tripling to $3.4 billion during this period.
