About this app

The story of Berkshire Hathaway, from a struggling New England textile mill to one of the largest companies in the world, told through its deals, its holdings and its numbers. TIMELINE More than 120 moments from 1962 to today: the first share purchases, See's Candies, GEICO, the Salomon crisis, BNSF, Apple, and the handover to a new generation of leadership. Filter by leadership, acquisitions, investments, milestones, crises and culture, or search any year. ACQUISITIONS Over 85 businesses bought since 1965, with the year, price where disclosed, sector, the backstory, and whether Berkshire still owns it today. Sort by date, size or name. HOLDINGS The current U.S. stock portfolio, taken directly from Berkshire's quarterly Form 13F filing with the SEC: every position, its weight, and what was bought, trimmed or sold last quarter. Plus the major stakes held outside the filing, and 75 operating businesses grouped the way Berkshire reports them, from insurance and railroads to candy and furniture. PERFORMANCE Berkshire versus the S&P 500 for every year since 1965, with a growth-of-$100 chart and the compounded record. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Every current director and past directors back through the decades, each with a short biography and their years of service. LETTERS AND QUOTES An index of the annual shareholder letters from 1977 onward, each linking to the original on Berkshire's website, and a collection of short, sourced quotes from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Every entry links to its source, so you can always read further. Berkshire Chronicles is an independent project made by fans.
