Quality Assessment
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is a above-average quality finance company with a Compass Score of 61. Solid fundamentals, with a few weaker spots. Worth a look for a diversified portfolio.
Financial Holding Company
Berkshire Hathaway's Compass Score appears lower than expected because it operates as an insurance and investment holding company with nearly $1 trillion in total assets. Asset-based metrics like Gross Profit/Assets and Cash Flow/Assets appear artificially low when measured against such a massive balance sheet. The Compass Score methodology works best for operating companies, not financial conglomerates. Berkshire's actual business quality and Warren Buffett's track record speak for themselves.
