What was the Berkshire Hathaway IPO date and price?

Answer 1

Berkshire Hathaway is actually well over 100 years old--Warren Buffet bought the company out at some point in the 60s I believe and turned it into a holding company (ironically he said the company itself wasn't a very good investment.) As I recall BRK either traded at or had a book value of $19/share when Buffet created the modern company, but to my knowledge he didn't have a new IPO for it.

Answer 4

In most cases it doesn't matter. But when you look at a company like Bershire Hathaway they are in the business of buying and owning other businesses over the long term. As such they do not want to be subject to the normal market trading fluctuations that would be result if their assets were more reasonably priced. Economically the value of the company doesn't change with a split...but psychologically and realistically the split does open up the shares to more investors and the asset loses it's "hold" appeal. Thus, the fund would have to increase their cash on hand in order to prevent the forced liquidation of assets that might otherwise occur if a large number of individuals requested a liquidation of their shares. So instead of holding perhaps 1.5% in cash they would have to bump it up to 2.5 or 3%. Doesn't seem like much until you realize how much 3% of the assets are....
