Which company has the Class A stock ticker BRK.A?

Berkshire Hathaway has the Class A stock ticker BRK.A.

Berkshire Hathaway’s Class A shares trade under BRK.A, while its less expensive Class B shares trade under BRK.B. The two classes represent ownership in the same corporation but have different prices and voting rights.

The company is led by Warren Buffett and is known for owning operating businesses and substantial investments in publicly traded companies. Its holdings have included insurance operations, railroads, utilities, manufacturing businesses, and consumer brands.

Berkshire’s unusually high Class A share price can create confusion when people compare per-share prices with market capitalization. Market capitalization depends on all shares outstanding, not simply the price of the most expensive individual share.
